Highlights
Pet care experience
Friendly and responsible pet care!
I've cared for friends' and neighbors' pets for 15+ years. I ensure their necessities are taken care of (food, water, walks, etc.) but I also love to stay longer to take the time to play for their mental engagement (and mine!) when possible. My own late beloved dog lived to be nearly 16, so I'm also comfortable with providing prescription meds and taking more time/ patience to respect aging pets. I can handle multiple pets at one time or younger pets, too. I work full-time remotely, so I’m usually flexible for weekday visits in the morning, afternoon, or evening. Weekends and holidays are also usually open. I respect house rules! If any rooms are off limits or there's a specific diet/walk schedule, I try to enforce that with your pets. My late dog and I had success when sticking to our schedule and I'll make every effort to stick to yours. I'm a frequent communicator, so if any issues arise you'll know right away! If all is well, you'll get a text and several photos of your furry friend before I leave. Summary below of what I typically provide for each type of visit. House sit routines often differ with each pet and their unique routines, so if you have any additional needs or asks, I will work with you in advance to determine a great schedule and modify any payment details within the Booking, if necessary and agreed upon. 30 min Drop-in visit (cat): + Feeding (refill feeders, provide canned food, etc.) + Refill water + Scoop litter boxes + Provide any oral or topical medications + Play time with toys, treats, etc. if enough time remains 30 min Drop-in visit (dog): + Feeding + Refill water bowls + Provide any oral or topical medications + Play time with toys, treats, games, if enough time remains after food/water/potty/meds + Quick potty walk of ~5 minutes. If you think your dog will need longer, please book a Walk separately or a 60 minute Drop-in Visit. I always pick up poop, please provide your own bags and let me know where best to dispose of the baggies! House Sit (cat): + Feeding/water fill twice a day + Scoop litter boxes twice a day + More time for play! + Option to stay overnight at your place with your pet. + Option to complete several, longer visits throughout the day without staying overnight. House Sit (dog): + Feeding/water fill twice a day + At least 3 walks (am, noonish, pm) + More time for play!

Ratings and reviews
Alexa was so great! She did a meet and greet ahead of time so my dog felt comfortable with her before the walk, which I really appreciated. The walk went smoothly and she kept me updated the whole time. Will definitely book her again!
Alexa did a great job!
Alexa has been wonderful! She’s super responsive, easy to communicate with, and very sweet. I can tell she’s very comfortable around dogs, which immediately put me at ease during the meet and greet. So happy we found her!
Alexa was reliable, thorough, flexible, and communicative when caring for our three cats. She did a great job and was even able administer medication to our spicy kitty. We really appreciate her attentiveness and would love to have her sit for us again in the future!
Alexa has watched my dog, Chloe, on many occasions and given exceptional care and attention! Alexa consistently gives her lots of snuggles and treats, but also makes sure that she feels comfortable and safe during storms and fireworks (anxious dog). Thank you, Alexa, for being a wonderful pet sitter!
I've trusted Alexa for over a decade to provide excellent care for my Lab as he progressed from the active puppy stage well into his senior years. She has always been communicative, responsible, and caring. I can't recommend her enough!

Schedule
Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work remotely, which gives me a flexible schedule and plenty of availability throughout the day. I’m also very active and love being outside, so I genuinely enjoy getting out for walks and spending time with dogs. I’ve always loved animals, and caring for them is something I look forward to.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I try to avoid bringing dogs to dog parks/exercise areas in apartment complexes unless I see that there are absolutely no other dogs present. I will also never take your dog off their leash on a walk, even if they are trained to do so. Even if your pet is superbly trained, there's no way for me to guarantee that other dogs are equally well-behaved, especially any unleashed dogs with whom I am unfamiliar. Your pet's safety is a top priority and I will gladly take them on a leashed walk instead to get them their exercise.
