Information Alejandra S. would like to know about your pet

Communication is key! I want to prioritize the safety and comfort of myself and your beloved huddle of fur. If your doggo is nervous or scared of anything in particular, allergic, reactive, or sensitive to anything, I’m sure we can work around it as long as you tell me!

A typical day

Big fan of long walks (or even going on runs) with doggos! Love having a partner to check out the amazing trails around. Also happy to play fetch with them and get some energy out while you’re away!

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Alejandra and I love pets! Cats and dogs alike. I’ve taken care of pets (dogs and cats) since I was 12 and have had my own dog since she was a puppy. She recently passed and my love for pets have only grown. They are family and I want to make sure you feel comforted that your beloved pet is in good hands. I have taken care of animals on short timeframes, dropping in to check on them and take care of their needs along with in longer timeframes (housesitting and staying with them or hosting them in my apartment). I am really responsible and recognize that each pet has their own habits, routines and preferences. If given instruction, I am happy to create a space for your pet where their routine and expectations are as they would be if you were home!

Alejandra took great care of my pup. She was responsive, sent us updates throughout our trip, and kept Hazel well-exercised. Couldn’t recommend more!
