Pet care experience
Caring for Critters Big & Small
I have worked as a Veterinary Technician for the past six years, caring for companion animals, agricultural species, wildlife, and exotics in both Florida and Massachusetts. My lifelong passion for animals has driven me to develop skills to care for all needs. I started my career in shelter medicine and moved on to working with companion and agricultural animals full-time. During this time, I have assisted in providing life-long care to thousands of pets, covering anesthesia and monitoring, dentistry, grooming, and regular care in and outpatient settings. I have always pet-sat for my clients over the years, allowing my patients to remain in the comforts of their homes, and have fostered hundreds of shelter pets and exotic animals who need intense care. I later moved on to wildlife rehabilitation, where I have been a part of over 1,600 cases successfully returned to the Everglades. Our sanctuary had over 400 permanent residents whom I used operant conditioning to train for cooperative care and voluntary medical procedures. I also worked with Ambassador Animals during educational presentations to groups of all ages about responsible pet ownership and conservation. I have since returned to Massachusetts, where I resumed companion animal medicine and training before deciding to leave in-clinic practice. I love taking care of dogs and cats, and would like to continue to share that passion with my community. Whether your pet is elderly, medically complex, or has a demanding training or enrichment schedule, you can trust that they will receive the highest quality in-home care from a veterinary professional. Depending on the pet’s temperament, nail trims are included free of charge at your request.

Safety, trust & environment
Whether your pet simply needs feeding and quiet time or requires round-the-clock supervision and interaction, I respect the wishes of pet parents and am devoted to giving pets the care and comfort they deserve. Providing that care in their home, especially during times of need, is deeply fulfilling to me. I look forward to working with you to create a personalized plan for your pet, giving you peace of mind while you’re away.
Ratings and reviews
Alex is fantastic. She is professional, compassionate and very dependable. We are very grateful to her for the incredible care she provides for our special needs dog. She is a rare find.
Alexandra is wonderful! My dogs love her and so do we. We can highly recommend her.
Helped me out last minute and was extremely patient with my dog who can get scared of new people. Would definitely use her again!
Alexandra was terrific, highly recommend! Great communication from the time we left until we returned! She clearly cares deeply about taking care of all animals. Could not have felt better about leaving our dog, and our home in her hands!!
Alexandra has exceeded our expectations. Due to her attentiveness, personal commitment, and skillfulness, we were not only comfortable leaving the dogs and house in her care, we knew they were happy, active, and in great hands! We cannot wait to work with her more. A real gem in the doggie care business! Much appreciation to Alexandra.
We are so grateful we met Alex! Could not ask for a better dog sitter. She went above and beyond to take care of our baby and our home while we were gone for almost a week. We received daily updates with photos and she even took care of a cut on her paw! Her experience and humble personality, made us feel so comfortable leaving our pup in her care. We came back to a tidy home and happy pup! We will definitely be calling her back to sit again in the future!
