Owner away? I walk, sit and stay!
Pet care experience
Hello, my name is Ale! I’ve always had animals all my life and absolutely love them! I have over 5 years experience as a pet caregiver. I currently have 3 animals of my own. A male Australian Shepherd, female Siberian Husky/Alaskan Malamute and an older short-haired black and white kitty. I have also worked at various veterinary/boarding facilities, and am very knowledgeable on how to give medications + insulin. My experience includes dogs and cats but also some exotics: (reptiles, primates, rats/mice, etc.) I am a full time pet-sitter so I’ll plenty of time to care for your fur babies! I love spending time with animals. Nothing brings me more joy than receiving a warm greeting or a snuggles from your furry babies. You can trust that they will receive plenty of playtime, affection, and cuddles when you are away. I treat all animals with the same love and care that I show to my own pets. Your insights are valuable, and there is no such thing as giving me too much information when it comes to your pet. I’ll stick as closely as I can to their provided daily routine when caring for them. If your pets are used to sleeping in your room and you prefer, I can stay there. If not, the guest bedroom is completely suitable. It is important that your pets feel at ease during the night, so I am flexible to accommodate their habits. Your pet's comfort is a priority for me, and I am here to make their stay as pleasant as possible.
Reviews
Ale took such great care of my pup! She was responsive, keep me up-to-date and my dog was happy and healthy when we returned! We will be repeat customers!
Ale did an awesome job watching our girls! We had to travel to see family on very short notice and Ale was available. She sent pics the entire time, stayed in our home and made our dogs feel extra comfortable. We will definitely be looking to rebook in the future!
Ale is reliable and caring— Her flexibility and excellent communication made the experience stress-free. Bruno and Arya were well taken care of and our home was as good as how we left it.
This is my first time using Alejandra. She took very good care of my pups and my house while caring for them. I will definitely use her services again.

Safety, trust & environment
Trust and Safety is extremely important to me! I understand entrusting someone with your pet can be a nerve-wracking, please let me ease that worry! On the first day of the stay, I allow the pets to have their space until they become comfortable with me. It may take a full day, (especially with cats), but some pets are quick to welcome me into their home. I adapt to each pet's unique personality and respond accordingly. I strive to mirror your daily routine as closely as I can when caring for your pets. In situations where I meet animals that are cautious/nervous of new people, I’ll calmly sit on the couch and engage in my own activities while speaking to them lovingly and soothingly from time to time. This approach helps them to become familiar with my presence in their space and eventually welcome me at their own pace. I avoid imposing attention on timid pets, as too much attention on timid pets can sometimes make them feel overwhelmed. **No other person or animal will enter your space without authorization/instruction from you.**
Information Alejandra R. would like to know about your pet
What is your pet’s regular schedule? (feeding times, potty times, and how long are the alone for/or house trained). Is your pet okay being with other animals? Where does your pet like to play, hide or sleep? Do they have a favorite toy/treats? Does your pet have any allergies, dietary restrictions, or any medications ?
A typical day
When it comes to your pets stay, they’ll have the lead! If they’re in the mood to play, we will engage in playtime (both inside and outside). If they seek cuddles, I’ll happily oblige, as who wouldn’t? lol Most cats do prefer their independence, in which case I’ll sit nearby and talk to them until they are ready to interact.

Petsitting is something I truly enjoy because it lets me appreciate the different personalities of the pets. *I will always recommend doing a meet and greet, it’s important that your pet feels comfortable* :) I do charge an early and late fee. Before 10am: $35 and after 3pm: $35 for house sitting. Please don’t hesitate to ask me any questions! :)
