Pet care experience

My day job is as an engineer but I have experience working with all kinds of animals over the years, including small and exotic so I am able to drop-in on your little buddies, too! 🐶🐱🐍🐰🐢🦄🐹🐸🐭🐦🐠🦎🐀 With pets of my own, I know what it is like to hire someone to care for your best friend. While no one knows your pet(s) as well as you do, I seek to understand and gather information for our time together so that they feel as secure and comfortable as possible in your absence. I accomplish this by maintaining boundaries and schedule to help them feel more secure, and maybe even compensating while you’re away with extra fun and one-on-one attention! 🤩🥰 I provide detailed updates based on their schedule and provided instructions so that you feel confident in my level of care, and have peace of mind. 🌸 Safety is my number one priority ✅ and I will ensure I have adequate information prior to your departure to achieve success when booking with me. I am flexible with scheduling to accommodate you and your pet(s) as much as I can! Additional skills include grooming, medication administration/management, and senior/vision impaired care.

Awesome detailed updates and lots of pictures! I have a large, very anxious, reactive dog that requires medication twice per day. Alex did amazing!

Safety, trust & environment

My first visit will typically be lengthier, as I am establishing the care routine and verifying that everything is in place. I maintain a checklist 📝 with core tasks based on our discussions, meet and greet, and any additional communication during the booking. For each visit, I provide thorough updates to confirm that each core task was completed as required, and in the necessary order, if applicable. I provide extra photos 📷, and if needed, take extra time to be patient with nervous or anxious pets. 🥰 My timeline is their timeline. I ask for feedback the first couple of visits in case there are any adjustments. With you being the primary owner, you are the expert and I want to ensure the best care according to you! I can also perform additional tasks at your home such as watering plants 🪴, adjusting thermostats or lighting 💡, and taking mail/packages 📦 as needed. Prior to departing, I check over your home to ensure that your pets will be safe until I return.

Information Alex S. would like to know about your pet

For dogs, cats, or any exotics pets: health information, preferred vet name and number, favorite toy/game/activity, and usual schedule. This is Alaska, so if you will be out of service a local emergency contact is also vital. It would also be helpful to know of any reactivity triggers/fears, etc. For drop-ins, please let me know if you’d like me to check thermostat, plants, adjust blinds/lighting, etc. in addition to any other routine.

A typical day

Once I’ve established trust with your pets, that’s when the fun starts! Tell me what their favorite toy is and how they like to play, and how and where they like to be scratched. ?
