Domestic and exotic pet caretaker

Pet care experience

I have 9+ years working in the animal field with domestic (cats, dogs) and exotic animals (rats, turtles, birds, rabbits, snakes, chinese water dragons, ferrets, etc). I've gained experience working with a diverse range of animals with specialized needs through my previous work as a Student Worker & Animal Care Attendant at the San Diego County Animal Shelter, as a Veterinary Assistant at a local family owned veterinary clinic, private pet sitting, while also volunteering for the Santa Cruz Animal Shelter and Monterey Bay Aquarium. I can administer subcutaneous fluids, medicate animals, be attentive to their body language, and provide comforting company when ill. Most of my previous work pet sitting was with animals with chronic conditions and quirky personalities. I'm a nonprofit worker so I love humans too! I'm new to Los Angeles and using Rover to help pay for grad school. I'd love the opportunity to become familiar with LA via your pets!

Hire Ale, she's amazing! I worked with Ale at a veterinary hospital where she worked as a veterinary assistant. She is a fast learner, a hard-worker, dedicated, always goes above and beyond what is asked of her, and has an immense amount of passion for all animals. Fur, scales, feathers, you name it! You can relax knowing she is dependable and will take excellent care of your pets. Plus, you have the added benefit that she can medicate your pets if need be and she has been trained to identify when an animal is not doing well and what to do about it. If we lived closer to each other, I would hire her instantly!

I have had the pleasure of knowing Alejandra for over 14 years.  I have worked as an animal welfare professional for over 30 years and worked with Alejandra as a colleague as well.  She was hired at the shelter for her love of animals but succeeded and gained the respect of everyone working there for her demonstration of professionalism, compassion and attention to detail. I would not have anyone else watch my own animals except Alejandra.  I am confident in her abilities to care for all kinds of animals and have seen firsthand her ability to not only give them the love and care they need, but also pay close attention to keeping enclosures clean and sanitary and all dietary care is given correctly.  Alejandra has an amazing work ethic and will take great pride in all the details concerning pet care is done correctly.  I know people who are looking for a pet sitter often worry about someone in their home, but Alejandra is extremely trustworthy and respectful.  She also loves “animal people” and will listen to your instructions, follow them to the “T” and get as much information as she can about your pet(s) so you can rest assured your pet(s) are getting their needs met. I recommend Alejandra for your pet sitting needs and know you will find her work, her love of animals and her enthusiasm for their well-being a great asset.  You will not be disappointed!

Ale worked for me for several years as a veterinary assistant. She proved very capable and helpful around the clinic. She has great compassion for the animals. She is also very responsible and trustworthy. She always is ready to go the extra mile to help out when her help is needed. She did pet sitting for many of my clients and they always had good things to say about her. I would hire her without any reservations to take care of my pets when I was away. Jeffrey S. Grudin, DVM

Alejandra has always done an amazing job caring for our pets. She was attentive, knowledgeable, and thorough. Alejandra understands the unique needs of each pet and was able to easily provide individualized care for Eileen, our special needs rescue who has ambulatory issues and needed a special diet and exercise. Alejandra truly loves animals and cares for them as though they were her own. Highly recommend her!
