Furbaby obsessed nurse

Pet care experience

I've been a caregiver of all kinds for all my life. I'm currently in between nursing jobs over the holidays. I foster senior dogs myself and have adopted a bonded pair, seen a senior female pitty riddled with cancer to the end (RIP), and have a few ‘foster fail’ who is the love of my life. So total I’ve had four dogs and still currently two are with me and are my world! I am also a Master educated nurse with lots of random fun bizarre life experience. I’m a returned peace corps volunteer as well.

Alexa house and pet sat for us while we were away for 6 days. She was extremely easy to communicate with and provided me with tons of pictures and updates of my pup! Alexa was the first non-family member to keep Mac and it was our first time being away from him for this extended period of time. Our pup has separation anxiety and can become a little growly when uncomfortable. After meeting Alexa and providing her with care instructions for Mac I knew he would be in good hands! She truly is a dog lover and kept our boy at ease while we were away. She was flexible with her timing for us which was helpful with our crazy flight times! She took our dog on his walks everyday, threw the ball for him, provided him with plenty of cuddles and love. Mac was very at ease and calm when we returned and our home was kept in the same shape (possibly even a little better) as we left it! It feels good to know your home and your fur baby are in good hands while you are away! I would 100% recommend Alexa to anyone looking for a sitter!

Alexa has become my dogs’ new best friend! Having two dogs, it’s not the easiest task for one person. She was so patient with my dog who takes a bit to warm up to new people. I came home to some very happy pups. Alexa was also super flexible and worked around my (and my dogs) schedule to meet beforehand and coordinate pick-up/drop-offs. I would recommend her in a heartbeat!

Alexa is a very professional, caring, and compassionate human being who loves spending time with animals. We served in the Peace Corps in Uganda together where I adopted the dog love of my life and she was so kind and tolerant of my dogs whenever she would come to visit. She's very responsible and I know you'll be satisfied and trustworthy of the care she provides for your pet.
