Highlights
Pet care experience
I have horse training experience
Animals gravitate toward me because they know I respect them but also guide them. Just last night a group of people were chasing their dog to get her back in the car. I stopped to help and as soon as I called her name she came right over to me. I have watched a friend of mine train her dogs and know that communication with the dog is about keeping consistent in communication. Dogs want to please - it's in their nature as a pack member. I am really good at picking up clues as to what the dog needs like you would have to do for babies. Their facial expressions say a lot. I work from home and so am available to attend to their every need. I have a rolling office and so can work from anywhere. I work from home and need breaks! I love having a dog to go for walks with me! I have a large back yard but do not leave pups outside unattended. I will take them to Mueller for a run around the lake or if I'm short on time I go to the middle school just up the road for a good run. Tomlinson's is close by and I believe strongly in giving animals the food they need to keep them healthy. I have a water dish that constantly circulates water and only put purified water in the dish. Although dogs tend to drink whatever water they find ha ha! I have a fenced yard and live on a street in a neighborhood rather than on a busy street. During rush hour there is a bit more traffic but nothing overwhelming. I have soft coverings on all my furniture so fur babies feel right at home. Somewhere on my page it says crate is required - I'm trying to edit that but cannot find it! Crates are NOT required.

Ratings and reviews
Alessandra confidently handled our dogs (nervous pit mixes) and allowed them time and space to warm up. Our dogs had lots of attention when they were ready. It can be difficult to find an in-home boarding spot without other pets, so this worked out great! Alessandra’s home offers a fenced yard and lots of walking paths.
Alessandra took great care of Gimli and sent lots of pictures.
Alessandra was fantastic. From the day I requested the boarding she was incredibly transparent about the fact that she had an upcoming move but that she would be able to accommodate the request, the general location she was moving to, and the fact that she would have a new roommate which would only increase Molly's exposure (with one person in the house at all times able to watch after the dog). She was professional, deeply and genuinely caring if animals, always prompt with her communications, shared plenty of photos, and kept both me and my wife separately abreast of developments over the 10-day stay. Our dog was very well cared for and noticeably happy and comfortable when we picked her up. We will absolutely look to her again the next time we have a boarding need.
We had a great experience with her. She was kind, reliable, and very attentive to my dog’s needs. She treated my dog like her own and made me feel completely at ease. I truly appreciated the updates and care she provided throughout. Highly recommend!
Alessandra was fantastic! She has great communication and sent lots of photos and videos while we were away. Our dogs seemed very happy in her care and we would definitely recommend her!
We used Alessandra while we were away for a long weekend for our two high energy Aussie’s. Alessandra was wonderful with them! We met ahead of time for a meet and greet. One of our Aussie’s can be moody but she took to Alessandra right away. We got daily updates and they were well taken care of. We will certainly be using her again!

Schedule
I work from home for the most part and I’m often able to bring the dog with me for property showings. It’s very rare for the dog to be alone. However, I will have to create an up charge if your dog is one that can never be left alone, I have only met one of those owners requested me to never leave their dog side and they had no problem paying extra for my time

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced yard a very large home with no carpet downstairs. The neighborhood is very quiet. I have no pets. I am a realtor and when I am at your home, I treat it with extra special care as I would any of my real estate clients you have to be a stellar citizen to be able to have a license, I go above and beyond
A typical day
While I am new to the Leander area, I have been an awesome since 1995. I am excited to explore the surrounding parks with my new friends your dogs! There is a park six minutes from my house, my neighborhood is very quiet and will be good for a quick walk during the day. We are also 20 minutes from balcones park and just a bit further to the water. I have a doggie door to the backyard that I can either leave open or close. The yard is completely fenced. I have not met a dog yet that I could not a fast bond with yet they are always very happy to see mom and dad again!
