Pet care experience
Albeit I do not own a pet, I love animals and always have. From the time I was young, I have always wanted a pet. I would beg my parents for a goldfish at each fair we attended in those summers. When I got a little older, I graduated to hamsters, hermit crabs, & a pet-sitting "business" around the neighborhood for cats, dogs, fishes, ferrets, & more. Because I showed such responsibility & care for others' pets, my mom felt I was responsible for a pet of my own. That is when I got to own my first cat & had him for 17 years. When I moved to DC in 2011, I missed my cat but could not afford to own a pet in the city. Because of that, I pet-sat for some colleagues off-and-on throughout the years. When I moved in with my roommates, I would take care of their dogs while they were on trips or away overnight, so I am more than used to boarding with an animal & sleeping with one as well. When I lived with one roommate, I cared for her dog multiple times when she was not in the city. During those walks or when we would just be in the apartment, I would send my roommate pictures & videos so she would know he was okay. If it seemed he was experiencing separation anxiety or was having some potty problems, I would share those with her as well. This is when I started to gain confidence that I can work another animal's routine in with mine. I also took care of a colleague's cat in 2018 for a few days. I sent her a picture each day to ensure that she knew that the cat was doing okay. When the cat started to vomit the one night, I inspected it, relied on my previous knowledge as a cat owner & monitored the cat for another hour or so. I also contacted my friend who is a veterinarian to ensure that the cat's symptoms were normal.

Our dog Sophie is always excited to see Alesandra, and is well taken care of ☺️
Alesandra is fabulous! I highly recommend her for house sitting. She provided excellent care to my dog and was in contact regularly with updates and photos/videos. Very comfortable leaving my dog in her care.

Home
Information Alesandra T. would like to know about your pet
Let me know what preferences or little idiosyncrasies the dog has so I am able to cater to those needs. I prefer to keep things the same for the dogs as I do not want to ruin their routine.
A typical day
Usually, I use the dog’s current toys and longer walks to keep them active. I do my best to keep to the dog’s normal routine, but work hard to take them on longer walks if they want one.

Availability
Currently, I telework daily due to COVID at my parents' three-story home. They both love dogs and are equally as loving/caring. Dogs help my dad who has early on-set Alzheimer's. Usually, I am always around and if I am not, my mom is. I follow the owner's directions with respect to walks, eating habits, and its habits in a house.
