Availability

I’m a student, so I have plenty of time during the summer months and during the holidays. Sitting and drop-ins work fine with my own cats' schedules as I have family they hang out with and feed while I’m gone. My schedule is flexible and open!

Safety, trust & environment

I listen to owners as they know their pet best. Willing to follow even the most hyper-specific directions to ensure everyone is comfortable and safe.

Information Alessandra L. would like to know about your pet

I'm pretty open to all dog breeds for walking, drop-ins, and house-sitting. Please be honest about any behavioral issues I should know about before hand.

A typical day

I like going on walks and exploring nearby parks. I enjoy reinforcing any tricks dogs know by practicing them with them. I've also done a lot of redirection work with dogs who are particularly barky or anxious. If there are toys or a yard to play in, that’s always fun. For cats, if they have toys, I love to play with them and give them lots of pets!

Pet care experience

I grew up with both Cats and Dogs and have experience as a pet owner, having 2 cats of my own. I also have a lot of experience as a sitter/boarder and professional dog walker! I’m comfortable administering medicine and dealing with aging pets' needs. I have some experience with puppies and kittens as well. I have worked with high-anxiety animals and am not afraid to work with them in the ways they need. I have equal experience with cats and dogs and love them both! I also love and can easily handle multi-cat/multi-dog households as well as mixed cat/dog households. House Sitting, Dog Walking, and Drop-Ins: I have a lot of experience with house sitting and drop-ins, so no need to worry. I am very trustworthy and dependable! I’m good at following even the most specific directions. I’ve seen it all :) I know many beautiful walking routes in the area. I am comfortable with dogs who pull and are reactive. Please be honest about any behavioral issues. The only times I have had to cancel a booking were due to an emergency with my own cat requiring an immediate vet visit, and when my father suddenly passed away. The owners were very understanding both times. Let me know if you have any questions.

Alassandra was a consummate professional. We being quite attached to our huckleberry, left a very extensive list on what our dog is accustomed to being very pampered and attentive dog owners. She followed everything to a tee including upkeep of the house for the days we hired her for. Daily updates with photos and description of the day’s activities. Huckleberry was in good hands. Highly recommend her. Thanks again alassandra.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
