Pet care experience

The Cat Whisperer

I know how worrisome it can be to leave your pet for any amount time, especially one who has needs. I have experience administering most every type of medication to cats, from pills to slurrries to subcutaneous fluids. I notice the little things, love to play with cats, and I have a way of making them feel at ease.

Safety, trust & environment

If I'm boarding an animal, especially a cat, it's very important to me to follow the same guidelines as if I was fostering. Home visits are different. While it's less stressful on the cat, not all cats are eager to meet new people, so I take the time to develop trust.

Alexander went above and beyond! Our auto feeder quit working and he made extra visits to ensure Amber and Gracie were still fed. Our kitties were well cared for and happy when we returned home. Will definitely book again!

We had the absolute pleasure of having Alex care for our senior cat, Daisy, while we were away for 10 days on our first real vacation since she began having health issues. To say we were nervous to leave her is an understatement — but Alex gave us peace of mind from the moment he stepped in. He was incredibly communicative and responsive throughout, always keeping us updated and never making us feel like a burden for checking in. What truly stood out was how deeply he cared about Daisy’s wellbeing. When she had a bit of a health hiccup during our trip, Alex went above and beyond — handling the situation calmly, thoughtfully, and with genuine compassion. Knowing he was there when we couldn’t be meant the world to us. We came home to a content and well-cared-for cat, and we know that’s because of the love and attention Alex gave her. I wholeheartedly recommend Alex — I would trust him with Daisy or any future pet without hesitation. He’s truly a gem!

Alexander was kind, professional, dependable and provided updates about my cat while I was gone. He was flexible when I needed to modify the dates of care. He was responsive to messages. I would completely trust my cat with him again. Thank you Alexander.

Alex has that perfect combination of compassion, kindness, and sound judgement that makes him an especially trustworthy critter caregiver. He knows how to meet animals on their own terms, allow them to warm up to him (which they very quickly do!), and calmly respond to any unexpected situations in a way that prioritizes the animals' safety and comfort. He's receptive to each animal's own routine, mindful of their needs, and a lot of fun--my own critters adore him. I highly recommend Alex to take top-notch care of your pets!

Alexander is a very caring and intuitive animal lover. He enjoys engaging with pets on their terms to make sure they have a positive and fun experience. He really has a heart for our furry family members and will take phenomenal care of yours when you're away or need a helping hand. I would highly recommend him.
