Henlo hoomans! I’m Alexa and am proudly one of the few native (West) Seattleites who has always lived in this city. I have lived on Beacon Hill, Capitol Hill, Seward Park, and currently reside in West Seattle again so I am very familiar and comfortable in my hometown. Growing up, I raised two of the cutest Dachshunds, Mia and Tyson. (Tyson was actually born right in my garage!) I lived with Stoney, an older German Shepherd while frequently taking care of a Schnauzer-Poodle aka Schnoodle named Gizmo. I have even been honored as a godparent to a couple corgis, Stewy and Rilo. As you can see, I am comfortable with dogs of all ages and sizes and have gotten along with practically every breed I've encountered, even those who usually have trust issues. I live in West Seattle near Westwood Village and, if comfortable with car rides, can bring your pup around Lincoln Park or Alki. Westcrest off-leash dog park is nearby if you prefer your pup to socialize. Of course, neighborhood walks around your home will always be an option for a quick jaunt. In addition to Rover's insurance, I am backed by my own insurance offered through the Pet Sitters Association. This means you can breathe easier knowing that your pup (and house) get better coverage by booking with me. Pet care is my full-time career. In addition to Rover, I operate my own pet care business. I am licensed with the City of Seattle and privately insured. I have a fairly flexible schedule as I do not have the traditional 9-5. Your furiend is my priority. For Housesits, I will stay w your furiend in your home in whatever routine is most comfortable for them. This will limit the stress factors for when their best friend (you!) is away.
