Pet care experience
Animal Lover Willing to Travel
Hi All, My name is Alessandria but I prefer to be called Alekx and no the K is not a typo. My hair color is subject to change but it's just dyed hair braided into my natural hair. I have been caring for animals professionally since 2006, until 2013 where I took a leap in a different field of work. I use to move all over the country but I am home and hoping to start pet sitting as my main job. I have a guinea pig by the named Tikka Teacake and she is a little siren but she is my 3rd guinea pig. I am a non-smoker and prefer days curled up with fluffy creatures and a good book. In regards to my experience I have worked at pets resorts such as Sunny Acres where I had a few loyal dogs that I dearly miss. I have owned large dog breeds my whole life and grew up with pure breed Rottweilers, German Shepherd mixes, and my current lovely mutt. I have been doing home pet sitting for over a decade.

Safety, trust & environment
A safe home is one your pet recognizes as the pack den. I care for all pets with repetitive training, health care checks, grooming, and dental care as long as they will let me. I love to make a home pet safe by avoiding choking hazards and loose cables. (Mainly because my guinea pig is a little menace). Medications are taken with timers and usually snuck into foods. I like keeping basic training habits are maintained so that the pets do not unlearn anything their humans have taught them.
Ratings and reviews
Alekx takes wonderful care of our home and our two pups, especially going above and beyond when they need medicine administered or are not feeling well and have made an extraordinary mess. We appreciate her attention to detail so much. Very communicative and trustworthy.
We always have a great experience with Alekx. Communicative and will go out of the way to accommodate our pups.
Alexz was a wonderful dog sitter. Despite getting a terrible cold, she continued to care for our dog and was communicative and forthcoming the entire time. She asked ahead of time how often she should check in. She offered lots of photos throughout the day and every evening gave us a daily summary. Alexz was attuned to Gus’s needs and behaviors, noticing that she was itching at her paws and kept us up to date. Due to her cold, she told us that she sanitized everything she touched to protect us and our baby from any potential germs. The house was spotless when we returned. We highly recommend Alexz.
Alessandria kept my three dogs for a week. They were all fine when we returned. Regular updates were sent with pictures. The house was clean when we returned home. I would definitely use her again.
Alekx was an amazing dog sitter! I came home to a clean, tidy house that looked exactly the way I left it. My dogs were happy, well cared for, and it was clear they had received lots of love and attention. She sent daily photos and updates, which gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. I had also forgotten to ask her to feed my fish, but she took the initiative to check with me, and I really appreciated her thoughtfulness. I would absolutely recommend Alekx to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and proactive pet sitter. I would happily book with her again!
Great communication and came home to very happy pups!! Will definitely book her again for our next trip and it of town. Thank you so much!!

Schedule
I usually spend most the day when I am at home entertaining my pets or letting them have free run of the backyard with regular check ins. I make sure that their food is good for their stomach, their daily exercise if playing outside with a normal dose of petting and grooming. I recently got off of medical leave so I have started short nightly walks and we work out together to stay happy and healthy. I am a big night owl so I love watching my dogs snore about.

- If they have any aggression towards people, objects, or other animals. Are anxious, noise reactive, prone to running off, or front door trained. Any allergies, how they take their food, and basically any information to keep the pets comfortable and close to their regular routine while I am their caretaker. Though I must say I sleep with a closed and locked door for fire and safety regulations, so sadly night wandering dogs are not my forte.
