Stanford alum active pet care
Pet care experience
Hello! I am a local recent graduate from Stanford University (M.S. Earth Systems, 2016), and I am thrilled to offer my services to care for your furry family members! I have lived with and cared for dogs of all shapes and sizes my entire life: a Sheltie who lived to 15 years, a 6 month old Pitbull-Border Collie mix, and, most recently, an 8 year old special needs pug. I have taken care of special needs and older dogs, and I have experience in walk/leash/potty training for puppies. Given the flexibility of my work as a remote research consultant, I am available to stay at your house or drop in on your dogs as needed. I am lucky to be based from home and can spend most days watching over your pets, so long as I get my work done! Additionally, I am a runner (both road and trail). This means that for active and spritely dogs, I can provide long, strenuous exercise during the day, while for older and slower dogs, I can provide shorter periodic walks throughout the day to keep them moving. I have dog-sat for families in the Palo Alto and LA/MV area since high school (I graduated from LAHS in 2010). I am very familiar with local trails, landmarks, vet offices and pet stores. My local pet-sitting network has mostly consisted of word-of-mouth recommendations, but I wanted to take advantage of Rover's network to offer my services to a wider area! For the time being, I am very lucky to work from home and can provide exceptional, catered care for nearby pet owners. If you're looking for a responsible and seasoned Stanford alum to care for your pets, feel free to give me a shout. I'd love to help care for your furry family members.
Reviews
Easy to communicate with add highly reliable.
Needed a last minute walker and Alessandra was kind of enough to respond! My pup liked her and that's all that matters to me ?
Alessanadra loves animals and has cared for them lovingly all her life. She is reliable, trustworthy and kind and she treats all her furry friends as though they were her own.

Information Alessandra S. would like to know about your pet
Any potty/urinary troubles? Any history of biting? Typical bathroom habits of the dogs, energy levels throughout the day, etc. No particular breed preferences, but I am most experienced caring for small- to mid-sized dogs.
A typical day
Walks to local parks and trails! I am a big outdoor runner, and would love to take dogs with me on my excursions. I also enjoy taking long walks to downtown areas to run errands; your dog would be in excellent company on my walks!
