Safety, trust & environment
A dog needing to be walked is always in my view a top priority, and I adjust those walks based on each dog’s individual needs, whether that’s a short 10-minute walk or a longer, more active one. When indoors, I stay attentive and present, while also respecting your dog’s space. I like to remain nearby so I can monitor how they are doing, but I allow them to approach me for attention at their own pace. I believe every dog, like every person, benefits from having both companionship and personal space, when wanted. I am also comfortable with crating and feeding your dog if requested, and will follow any agreed-upon routines and schedules. Most importantly, I carefully follow all owner instructions to ensure your pet receives the exact care, comfort, and attention they need while in my care.
Information Alexandra A. would like to know about your pet
If your pet requires medication or follows a specific diet at set times, please let me know in advance so I can provide the best possible care. I am also happy to follow your usual walking routes to help maintain your dog’s sense of familiarity and routine.
A typical day
I enjoy engaging dogs in activities like tug-of-war and fetch, providing both physical exercise and mental stimulation, whether indoors or outdoors depending on your preference. I also enjoy longer walks and occasional jogs if your dog has higher energy needs. At the same time, I am just as happy to slow things down, whether that means sitting beside your pet, offering comfort, and giving them attention when they need it most.

Loving & patient care for your pets
Pet care experience
I have been around dogs from an early age, caring for both large breeds like German Shepherds and small dogs like Maltese through family and friends. I gained the most hands-on experience when I raised my own dog, Coco, from puppyhood. I learned to handle everything from potty training to teaching basic commands like sit and stay. Through this, I learned that dogs need patience, consistency, and a calm, attentive owner who can understand their individual needs. In addition, I volunteered at Carefree Lodge retirement home, where I worked with residents with cognitive conditions such as Alzheimer’s. This experience taught me how to adapt to different personalities and situations with patience and empathy. I believe that these skills would translate well into caring for pets, as every animal is unique. My experience working with children at camps and at a therapeutic horseback riding facility (CARD) has also strengthened my ability to stay calm under pressure, think quickly, and problem-solve in dynamic situations. I truly believe every pet deserves attentive, responsive care, and I would be happy to provide that for yours..
