Safety, trust & environment

With my experience caring for dogs it was at home with a fenced/gated backyard and with constant supervision! Taking them outside every couple of hours for potty breaks is essential and monitoring their food and water intake to make sure they are happy and healthy is vital!

Information Alessandra R. would like to know about your pet

It is important for me to know how many pets I will be caring for, if they are taking any medication, what their personality/social levels are like, if they have any food/treat sensitivities, what their bathroom routine(s) is like, etc.

A typical day

I love to make sure cats and dogs are getting different kinds of enrichment whether that be outside on a walk or inside with toys for dogs or indoors with different toys for cats!

Pet care experience

I have experience taking care of dogs since I was 10. I have owned 2 dogs in the past (male and female) and have experience training them to sit, paw, etc. Love playing with them to make sure they get enough enrichment and taking them on walks!

Alessandra is someone you can fully trust with your pets. She has hands-on experience with both cats and dogs—walking, feeding, playing, training, giving baths, and even giving oral medication when needed. She’s especially great at reading an animal’s mood and adjusting her care to make them feel comfortable and safe. She has spent time caring for her family’s dogs in the past and also helped look after a shy adult cat recovering from a medical condition post-surgery. She is really great with both high-energy pets and those that need a slower, more gentle approach. Your pet will be in good hands with Alessandra!

Alessandra is a compassionate and reliable pet sitter with experience caring for both cats and dogs. She has helped raise and care for her family’s dogs over the years—handling everything from daily walks and playtime to basic command training, feeding, bathing, and even giving medication if and when necessary. She is very patient, consistent, and always attuned to each animal’s individual needs. She has also cared for a shy adult cat long-term, including during recovery from a urinary condition (FIC), so she understands how to work with pets who need a gentle, attentive approach. Whether your pet is energetic and playful or quiet and reserved, Alessandra creates a safe, loving environment where they can feel at ease. If you’re looking for someone responsible, communicative, and truly passionate about animals, Alessandra is a fantastic choice.
