Professional of All Things Animals
Pet care experience
I am an animal lover that grew up with dogs, cats, horses and moved into a career with lions, tigers, wolves, bobcats, bears, cougars, lemurs, and more! I worked as a veterinary assistant throughout high school, then became a wildlife behavior specialist, so I’m a professional in any and all things animals! I was an animal trainer at the San Diego Safari Park and have a masters of wildlife science through Texas A&M University. During my free time, I enjoy lifting weights, reading, running, hiking, pet sitting, listening to podcasts to learn anything new and doing outdoor/ adventurous activities! I’ll walk, run, hike, swim with your dog, you name it. Your pets will be treated as my own (aka SPOILED) and your home will be cleaner than I found it. I can’t commit to adopting pets of my own at the moment, so I have to get my fix pet sitting!
Reviews
I can not thank Alexa enough for her sweet caring of our Pipit! Our 6 month old puppy had not been to a sitter yet and we were a bit nervous but Alexa’s calming and joyful presence made us feel at ease. Not to mention her vast experience working with animals! My Pipit adores her and we have already rebooked for future with Alexa! Thank you again!
My girls had a great time with Alexa! She was very accommodating to my dogs including my one who is a few weeks post surgery on her leg. She was very responsive with pictures and communication and I will absolutely be using her again in the future! She made our trip out of town completely worry free. Thanks again!
Alexa is everything you want in a pet sitter. My dog was immediately taken with her and she makes you feel like your pet will not only be well cared for, but be spoiled during her stay. She kept me updated throughout the stay with pictures and videos. 10/10 would recommend.
Our first experience with Rover was a BREEZE thanks to Alexa! We wanted someone in our home with our pups while we were gone and Alexa was the perfect person to do that. She was professional, accommodating and went above and beyond to make sure our pups were cared for in the comfort and familiarity of their own home. We have one senior dog and on
