Currently, I’m not working as I’m looking for a position in research, so my schedule is very open. Aside from reading and exercising, I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for dogs. Being around them would bring me so much happiness, as it reminds me of my own dog and cats back home, whom I miss deeply. This opportunity fits perfectly into my routine and would help fill that gap by allowing me to share my love for animals. I normally exercise at 7-8am and then prepare my meals, I go to the park to read, I also stay at home those windy and rainy days. I have three parks next to home.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fence yard, but since I do not have a dog/cat, we barely use it. However, there is plenty of space for our little friend. Also I have a bag that I used to take my dog when he was a baby. I have 2 roommates who are lovely, they occasionally are at home but basically is just me during the day.

Information Alexa J. would like to know about your pet

To provide the best care, it’s important for me to understand each dog’s personality, habits, and specific needs such as allergies and illness. I’d love to know about their energy level, favorite activities, and any fears or anxieties they might have. Details about their diet, health conditions, medications, and grooming preferences are also essential. Additionally, understanding how they interact with other dogs or people will help me ensure they’re comfortable and happy during our time together. Thus, I will like to know if they are comfortable in public spaces or if they prefer going out to non crowded parks, if they like children or if that makes them feel uncomfortable. It is essential to me to know about their routine! ?❤️

A typical day

I love engaging dogs in a variety of fun activities to keep them happy and stimulated. We’ll go on long, adventurous walks to explore parks, play fetch or tug-of-war for exercise, and even have some downtime for cuddles and relaxation. For dogs who love to run, we’ll enjoy a good jog together, while those who enjoy a calmer pace can indulge in sniffing out new scents during leisurely walks. Every activity will be tailored to their energy and preferences, ensuring they have the best time possible!

Pet care experience

As a lifelong animal lover, I do care for every dog/cat as if they were my own. I provide personalised attention, from tailored diets to playful park runs and soothing grooming sessions. I understand that every dog is unique, and I’m committed to ensuring their happiness, comfort, and wellbeing. Building trust and creating meaningful bonds with the pets I care for brings me joy, and I dedicate myself fully to making sure they feel loved and secure. Taking care of our best friends is more than a job to me—it is what fulfills my soul. Each walk, grooming session, or playful moment makes me the happiest person ever and brings a sense of purpose. Knowing that I’m making a dog/cat feel happy, safe, and loved is what drives me. It’s not just about taking care of them, it’s about building a bond that makes us both happy. This work enriches my life, and I’m fully dedicated to every little friend I meet.

Alexa looked after my inlaws Akita called Seren. She was brilliant from the start with her communication. She looked after Seren for 4 days over Christmas and kept us informed every day with pictures of her going for a walk and in the house. I would highly recommend Alexa as nothing was too much trouble and we never had to worry as we knew she was well looked after. Thankyou so much Alexa you were brilliant.

Alexa is lovely and looked after Charlie very well. Very kind, responsive and accommodating to my requests, sent me plenty of photos whilst she had Charlie and he seemed to have a great time with Alexa, enjoying the one-to-one attention! Will definitely book with Alexa again if I need someone to look after Charlie.

My puppy was full of energy all day, and hopefully Alexa supported us taking her outside four times a week. Lovely Alexa we miss you! 🐶
