I am an Animal Lover
Pet care experience
I grew up with dogs and I love them. I also love cats. I have helped friends pet sit for their neighbors pets. Animals are my peace of mind in this crazy world!
Reviews
This was our 2nd booking with Alexandra as dog & house sitter, for 10 days this time. She was enthusiastic and conscientious, just as before. She seems to truly enjoy spending time with our dog, and the dog likes her. The dog was happy and healthy upon my return, the aquarium fish and chicken were fine, and the house was tidy. Job well done!
Alexandra did a great job caring for our dog and household for a week. The dog is a very active Malinois, requiring walks twice daily. The dog is shy with strangers, but Alexandra handled her with sensitivity, and they both warmed up to one another. The household included three aquariums and a chicken, which required care as well. Alexandra went above and beyond the call of duty when a power outage struck, just as we were boarding our plane. With help from a neighbor who lent her a generator, she hooked up the aquariums to power, and continued to live in our then cold and dark house, despite 2-3 days without power. Our dog surely appreciated her care and company, and the fish survived just fine. The house was well in order, too. Many thanks, Alexandra! We will be delighted to hire her again to house- and pet-sit for us.
Alexandra was a perfect sitter and companion for my little Nala, while I was away for the weekend! She sent me updates each day along with adorable, photos and videos. I came home to a very happy kitty, and I couldn’t be more grateful! Thank you Alexandra!
Alexandra did a really great job caring for our two pups and our home. She really goes the extra mile to be helpful and make sure the pups are happy and well cared for. We plan to ask her to back in the future.

Safety, trust & environment
I do live with parents and I can make arrangements with them if needed. Just need to know how well trained the dog is prior to taking them in my house. And I have a fenced yard so the dogs would be safe!
Information Alexandra B. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know how well the dogs behave on a lead and what training issues they might have. Are they good with sitters and walkers that are not their owners? Would the owners be okay with me correcting inappropriate behavior like pulling on a lead or excessive barking at others? Do the dogs have a specific routine that they have followed by their owners?
A typical day
I can take the dogs for walks and hikes as well as to the dog parks. I can even watch them at home and make sure they get food and water. And of course walks and play time.

Availability
I can work part-time or full time! I would love to be able to schedule times with clients so they can do what they need to do. I am pretty much available mid mornings to early evenings (which can carry over to overnight pet sitting) Mondays-Fridays. I have chunks of time in between online classes and I prefer jobs like dog walking and pet sitting since times are very flexible!
