Highlights
Pet care experience
✨experience you can trust✨
Hello there! I love creating relationships centered around trust and communication - with both people and animals. I have over 20 years of experience pet sitting cats, dogs, chickens, rabbits, and fish and I grew up with cats, dogs, guinea pigs, and rabbits. My current pet family consists of two rescue cats and a rescue Lab/Pyrenees mix. I also have a personal interest in positive reinforcement behavioral training. I provide exceptional attention to your pet companions during visits. My house-sitting rates include care from the evening through the morning, as well as a midday check-in on weekends and days when I work remotely. A Note on Fee Adjustments: My base rate is for clients within an 11 minute travel radius. If you're outside the radius, I am happy to care for your pets at an adjusted rate. Adjustments For Drop-Ins and Walks: --Within 11 minute travel radius, regular rates --12 minutes or more, an additional $1 per minute/per visit. Ex: 15 minutes, +$3 a visit. For House-sitting: --If you don't need midday or fully overnight care, I am happy to adjust my house-sitting rate to accommodate your needs. --Within 11 minute travel radius, regular rates --12 minutes or more, an additional $2 per extra minute. EX: 15 minutes, +$6/day.

Safety, trust & environment
Communication is key so that you can trust in your pet's well being and relax while you are away. I provide ample pictures and detailed information about your pet's mood and behavior so that you have a crystal clear picture of how your companion is doing. I care for pets with empathy and prioritize your routine and schedule for care. Your care instructions will be respected, and your pet will be treated with the love and care that I give my own animals. I always follow your animal's body language and cues as to how they want to be interacted with whether it comes to giving pets, cuddles, playtime, or quiet time. For everyone's safety, all activities that I will do with your dogs will be on-leash or inside fenced areas.
Ratings and reviews
I always come home to happy, relaxed critters, and a tidy home. My babies love Alex!
As always Alex was communicative and made me feel at ease that my cat was well taken care of!
I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Her attentiveness and communication were exceptional from start to finish . Every update was detailed, thoughtful, and genuinely reassuring. She truly cared about my cats’ wellbeing. When an ice storm was incoming there was a real possibility of the power going out, she didn’t just check in she went above and beyond to make sure my cat would be safe and comfortable no matter what happened. If you’re looking for someone who treats your pets like their own and keeps you fully in the loop while on vacation, this is the sitter you want. I’ll absolutely be booking again. Thank you Alex!
Terrific and well done as always!! Ty!!
Alex goes above and beyond to take care of our cats, treating them like her own, and making sure they are safe and well loved. 100% recommend.
Alex did a fantastic job! She was quick to reply and communticated well with us while we were gone. She was also great with our two kitties! They were both in good moods when we got back, so I know they appreciated her.
