Experienced Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

I'm not just an animal lover, I've been trained and vetted as a foster and volunteer through multiple shelters and foster organizations. I've been a pet sitter on and off since 2013 as well as being a pet owner my whole life. With me you will receive high-end professional pet care from someone trained to care for animals in the convenience of your own home, or mine. I'm also well versed in caring for animals with anxiety and special needs and can administer most forms of medication. I've fostered animals as young as 4 weeks old, as well as elderly animals with end of life care. I am very active and love high energy dogs and large breeds. I can wear out the most energetic breeds and puppies. My back yard is fenced in but completely paved, however I'm a block away from the closest dog park, and love taking pets on multi-mile walks/runs when needed. (*I will not take dogs to a dog park or around other dogs without it being specifically approved by the pet owner) Please note for boarding requests: I have two (friendly) cats but have the ability to separate them for the duration of your pets stay. I do ask that any pet that stays here is non aggressive towards cats. Elsie particularly loves when I watch puppies as she loves playing with them. I NEVER leave visiting pets and the cats together unsupervised out of an abundance of caution but have never had any issues come up.

Our one and only. Pretty sure our pets love her more than us, but that's fine by us!

Alexandra is wonderful! She was easy to communicate with and I know Bingo was well taken care of while we were away in NYC. I appreciated the picture updates and responses about how Bingo was doing since it was our first time away from him.

Information Alexandra B. would like to know about your pet

What your ideal care schedule is for your pet. Any concerns, watchouts, or things to avoid. And whatever expectations you have or need for them to have the best stay possible!

A typical day

I do my best to replicate the house rules that you have at home. Feeding schedule, training, whether pets are allowed on furniture, sleeping in bed vs crate etc, all is up to your preferences! It really depends on what's best for your pet. I've seen pretty much everything when it comes to pet parents preferences.

I'm currently on a remote team for work where I WFH the majority of the time. I can accommodate pets with most schedule needs, but we just need to communicate about pet's needs in advance. For boarding requests I also have pet camera so I can make sure everyone is thriving while I'm away from my home. Any pets that cannot be alone for at least 3-4 hours will be considered a "constant care" request at a constant care rate. This is something I can accommodate depending on schedule.
