Grad-student Tripod Mom Loves Cats!

Pet care experience

I am a flexible, reliable, and communicative worker and I love animals! Dogs have run in my family my entire life, and there is always a special place in my heart for golden retrievers. Ill take your dog on a good long walk to the park and make sure he gets plenty of pets and a treat for good behavior. I will also send you a snapshot of our walk route and a picture so you can see exactly where I took them, what time, and for how long. I have cared for cats for over 10 years, whether that's changing the litter, playing with them, replenishing food or water, or refusing to let them scratch up your chair! Ive also delivered insulin shots to diabetic cats, and have no problem administering medication to dogs or cats with proper instructions. I helped give training to a family member's puppy, and have walked a variety of dog types in New York City. In addition to pet care, I have experience house sitting and being respectful of other people's private spaces. If you would like me to water any plants, just let me know!

Alexa was punctual and listen to my instructions. Pictures were sent throughout the day. She walked my energetic dog over 3 miles which allows me to relax when I got home. I would request her service again!

Friendly, professional, and prompt, Alexa will make sure to attentively and actively care for your dog. She will always match the energy of your pup, and might even enjoy walks more than they do!

Alexa was warm and friendly with our Golden Retriever Lucy for several years. Equally important, we could trust her in our home. She walked and played with Lucy on a regular basis in all kinds of weather, and had to deal with the salt, ice and Lucy's frozen paws. They would take long walks together, and Lucy would return exhausted. Alexa even had to administer medication to the dog once when we were away and she took care of this seamlessly. She’s been around cats and dogs for years.

Looking for a very, very responsible, prompt, dog-loving dog-walker? Alexa is that person and so much more! She took care of our new puppy as a summer job while we were at work. Alexa would come over, do the feeding and walkIng, but then she’d get on the floor and play with our little Whiskey. Or Alexa would run Whiskey around. And if anything was amiss (like Whiskey had blood in her mouth from losing a baby tooth), Alexa let us know right away. I never had to worry about Alexa showing up as she Always came on time. Wish we still had Alexa nearby as we miss her kindness, spirit, and doggy affection!
