Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. No matter the service you choose, you can expect dependable, high quality care and plenty of love. For drop-in visits, I tailor each visit to your pet’s unique personality whether that means energetic play, gentle attention, or a calm, reassuring presence. My goal is always to create a stress free, safe environment where your pet feels completely comfortable and cared for.

Information Alex P. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for your pet, I like to learn as much as possible so I can give them the best, most personalized care. Helpful things to know ahead of time include your pet’s routine, feeding schedule, and any medical needs or medications. I also appreciate knowing their temperament. How they do with new people, other animals, or certain situations. Details about their favorite toys, triggers or fears, energy level, and any quirks or habits are super helpful too. For dogs, things like leash behavior or recall are great to know, and for cats, preferences around play or hiding spots make a big difference. The more I know, the better I can make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and right at home while you’re away.

A typical day

A typical day with me is all about making your pet feel happy, comfortable, and cared for in a way that fits them. I love learning each pet’s unique personality. Whether they have favorite toys, funny quirks, or specific routines. And I always lean into what makes them feel their best. For dogs, that usually means getting outside for walks or even a run (weather permitting), plus plenty of playtime, attention, and relaxation. For cats, I’m all about engaging play sessions (I love getting a kitty to chase a toy it’s the cutest thing!) balanced with calm, cozy time if that’s more their vibe. No matter the pet, I focus on creating a day that feels fun, safe, and familiar just like you never left.

Pet care experience

I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life and grew up in a home that regularly fostered both cats and dogs, which gave me experience with pets of all ages, personalities, and needs. That background taught me how to be patient, adaptable, and attentive especially with animals who may need a little extra time to feel comfortable. I stay active by walking and running with my neighbors’ dogs, so I’m very comfortable handling different energy levels and making sure pets get the exercise they need. At the same time, I truly love the quieter side of pet care too, providing plenty of affection, attention, and cuddles so they feel safe and loved. Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life, and I treat every pet like they’re my own.

Alex was amazing! She took care of my 11 week old golden retriever Auggie. I am very protective over my baby but I knew he was in good hands with her. I was very pleased with her communication, her professionalism and care for my little man. Highly recommend her for any of your pet needs! 10/10
