Pet care experience
I’ve had extensive experience with dog and cat sitting, including with my own dog since I was 12. I have dog and cat sat for multiple households, working with dogs of various ages and sizes. I take pride in ensuring the dogs I care for get at least a solid hour or two of exercise each day, on or off leash, when their age and health permit it.
Reviews
Alexa provided great care for our crew! She was able to provide medication to my elderly cat every 12 hours and accommodate our giant 165 lb English mastiff’s needs. House was tidy when we came home and she even did laundry after one of the cats made a mess! We will definitely be using her again!
Alexa was on time and our dog loved her straight away! We will be happy to have Alexa walk him regularly.
Alexa was so lovely! She stayed at our house from Thursday-Sunday and took care of our dog. She took him on lots of adventures, gave him SO much attention and was sure to keep us updated while we were away with the sweetest photos. She even had a vehicle specifically to transport your pets around! I highly highly reccomend and will book with her again if we ever need our sweet guy taken care of! She was fantastic in our home and left it even cleaner than we left it. I was super impressed and so happy! Thanks so much Alexa!
Alexa was a big help with my pup when I had to work out of town. Daily updates with action shots of the adventures she took Winston on. Very professional and kind. Thanks Alexa :)

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced in yard at my home, and clutter is contained in shelves and drawers, to prevent pets getting ahold of anything they could chew or swallow. I live near many parks and trails and have a spacious car to travel with pets to parks. I am meticulous about ensuring pets are clean and dry following any walks to prevent odour or the risk of any sores from moisture.
Information Alexa N. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know in advance if your dog has any history of reactivity in certain situations or contexts, so that I can be well prepared and alert on walks to avoid any stress for your pet.
A typical day
I aim for at least two walks a day, one is typically a shorter walk around the neighbourhood or at a dog park, depending on the dog’s comfort/reactivity level. I value this one because I’ve learned the importance of socializing my dogs as much as possible! The other, is a longer walk to get some solid exercise and burn some energy. If the dog I am with is good off leash, I prefer somewhere like Copley Ridge or Cable Bay :)
