Drop-in Care for your Pets

Pet care experience

Hey there! I'm Alex, growing up on a small ranch in Colorado I had cats, dogs, sheep, goats, and horses. I have been a Certified Cat Person my entire life and I have always had at least two fur babies in my home. I am currently a enamoured cat mom to our rescue cats Toby (15) & June (14). I am also a proud Grandmerm to my daughter & sons cats: Cory, Clarice, Nilla, & Obi.

Alex took fantastic care of our cat while we were gone. She checked in on her, scooped the box, gave her treats, and played with her. Alex even brought in our packages for us while we were away. Fantastic first experience and we’d use Alex again!

Alex was reliable and did a great job keeping our two cats entertained while we were on vacation. Loved getting the updates and photos!

Alex quickly responded to my last minute request and met me and my dogs the same day. She was very kind and professional. My dogs loved her and she sent pics during her check-in. I would recommend her to anyone.

Safety, trust & environment

Being a pet parent, I understand how important it is to know your pet is well taken care of while we have to be away. I offer drop-in visits and dog walks while you are at work, vacation, or busy with other life events. Cats: as your cat sitter I will stick to your specific feeding routine and litter schedule, replenish water, and will make sure to give your kitty playtime/pets/scratches once they feel comfortable with me. Dogs: I understand that every dog is different, that’s why you get to choose what each visit looks like. Visits can be spent either walking the majority of the time, a short walk with playtime inside, or sitting inside getting cuddles and belly rubs. Feeding, water replenishment, and medication can be included if required at no extra cost. While you are gone longer than one day, I can also: Bring in the mail/packages Take garbage to the curb for pickup and return receptables after Leave on/rotate lights so home looks occupied Open/close curtains or blinds Wash food and water bowls Water plants Medication: I am comfortable administering oral vaccinations as three of my previous pets took medications daily If you ever have questions/concerns during your time away don't hesitate to reach out via text or call. I absolutely love making new animal friends and getting to know their unique personalities. Can't wait to meet you and your fur baby!

Information Alex J. would like to know about your pet

Their schedule and routine. Canines: are they crate trained and potty trained, do they like to socialize, how comfortable are they on the leash, what are their likes and dislikes and dislikes and favorite activities. Felines: do they like cuddles and pets, are they active and like to play, how are they with new people, what are their likes and dislikes and favorite activities. Does their appetite change when you are away?

A typical day

Walks will be in your neighborhood. They will be either leisurely and relaxing, with ample time to explore, or at a faster pace for exercise. You and your pooch will decide.

Weekends are no problem if you are going away for up to three weeks. Notes: any days that I am unavailable will be blocked out, however if there is a day that you need and my calendar is closed feel free to reach out to see if something can be arranged.
