They're all good dogs! (+ cats too)

Pet care experience

I have been around dogs my whole life. Professionally, I have pet sit consistently for six clients who are my friends, colleagues, and relatives, which has also included house sitting. While I don't own a dog, my parents have an American Bulldog, Westie, and a Maltese who we've had since 2010 and are all best friends with each other. And if you have a cat, I love them too and have also pet sit for them. By day, I'm a public transportation analyst (if you want to talk transit, I'm your girl!) in the Financial District. If you'd like to book me for house sitting, please know that I have 9am-5pm schedule on weekdays, but with notice, I'm more than happy to come home straight from work to take care of your animal and house sit. In my spare time, I love to knit, read, bike around the city, and attempt to solve the New York Times Crossword Puzzle. Also, while I am not CPR certified for dogs, I am for humans and was honored by the Highlands, NJ Police Department for performing CPR on an unconscious cyclist, who has recovered. I am also a volunteer Fire and Safety Warden at my job and a former Community Emergency Response Team member with the City of Hoboken, in which I'm trained for light and search rescue, disaster medical operations, and managing volunteer deployment, so if there' s an emergency situation regarding your human household, it is likely I am professionally trained to respond to it.

Alexandra loves doggos and has always taken great care of my pup when she has visited. She is patient and friendly, and knows how to properly care for dogs.

Alex is a natural with dogs - whether it's her dogs that she grew up with or her friend's rambunctious (yet very sweet) puggle, she is responsible (she even pet sits for her colleague's dog!), patient, and will definitely love and take care of your dog as if it was her own - I would know! You can trust that your pupper is in good hands with her.

Alexandra has pet-sat our 3 dogs many times. She takes very good care of them. They now seem to think she is part of the family. She stops by to see how they are doing whenever she comes up this way. You will be happy with her as a dog-sitter.

Alexandra is our favorite dog sitter! Our dog Mia can be picky about who she accepts into our home, but she fell in love with Alexandra right off of the bat. Alexandra listened to our instructions about Mia's quirks and followed them to a tee. She walks Mia more than we do, plays with her at the park and generally shows her a ton of affection. Mia is always dog tired (haha) by the time we come home, and sad when Alexandra leaves. Highly recommended.

About Alexandra A.

Skills

15 years of experience
Oral medication administration
Senior dog experience
Special needs dog experience
Can provide daily exercise

Information Alexandra A. would like to know about your pet

For my safety and your dog's, I would like to have an honest assessment regarding how aggressive and/or territorial your dog is. If there are strong signs of either, I feel it will not be a good match. Otherwise, I'm open to all breeds!

A typical day

I will ask where you like to go on walks as I understand that there are some dogs who love exploring new places (and I love going out to parks!) and there are others who like to stay close to home. I'll also ask what their favorite activities are as I know some are more energetic than others.
