Do you want a rad dogsitter?
Pet care experience
I am utterly obsessed with doggies! I have had dogs since I've been a kid and have been pet-sitting and house-sitting since I was 14. I dedicate my time pet-sitting solely to the pet, I make sure they get plenty of walks and exercise, as well as just quality time - because you don't want your pet to get lonely! I can remedy that! :-)

Aleksandra was such a life saver for me. I work night shift as a nurse and my usual overnight help was unable to watch my new puppy for me when I was working so she stepped in at the last minute. She was super attentive and caring and it meant a lot that she took notes on certain things I did specifically with my new pup in regards to commands/training/reinforcement. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter. I’m not usually comfortable with strangers staying over in my apartment, especially when I’m not home, but she was the exception. Thank you so much for your help with Ghost!
Aleksandra was amazing! She stepped in at the last minute this week as a substitute walker and my dog warmed up to her so quickly. We can’t wait to work with her again in the future!!
Aleks watched my pig for 9 days. She was very attentive and respectful of her strict diet and needs. When I reached out to check on my precious angel Aleks was always quick to respond and even sent picture updates of my pet. 10/10 animal care giver, highly recommend.
Aleks has watched over and taken care of my 120 pound boxer when I was gone on vacation for a week. She was able to handle my large dog despite him being as tall as her when he stood on his hind legs. She followed the diet I had for him as well as making sure to keep him active with walks and playing outside with his favorite tennis ball by the courts in the nearby park. I'd recommend her as someone who loves all kinds of animals from dogs and even cats

I only have a kitty right now, and she's very easy to take care of. We have a mutual understanding of respect in my home, so we get along very well. Whether it comes to dogs or cats, I make sure to not force them to do anything they don't want to do, while making sure they're safe and fed.
Information Aleksandra K. would like to know about your pet
For me, how they interact with other dogs and people is most important. Lots of times on walks, someone will ask to pet the dog, and I want to be prepared for those situations. I want to know if we have to cross the street when we see other dogs I want to make sure I keep myself and the dog safe, as well as the other people we come in contact with.
A typical day
I like to take them on a lot of walks, since I feel like most owners have busy lives and do the best they can with exercise. Since I'm usually staying at the house most of the day, I like to go on 3-5 walks a day, even around the block. During the walks, I like to run around a little and if they need exercise, toss some sticks or a toy, just to get they're energy out!
