Fun-loving and experienced sitter
Pet care experience
I grew up observing and helping my grandparents breed Great Danes since I can remember. The way the cared for their dogs is what I carry with me now - love, empathy, and making them feel like family. I would help them walk, feed, bathe, and care for them from puppies that are weeks old to dogs that are in their elder years. This then led to me taking care of neighbors and family friends pets (dogs and cats). I have been reliant to help take care of their pets from overnight to a month long. This included taking them out for walks, playing for extended periods of time, feeding, bathing, changing litter, etc.
About Alexandra C.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I understand that each pet is unique and has their own personality. I never want to overwhelm a pet or make them uncomfortable, which is why I use a slow approach to see how the pet responds. I extend my palm for them to smell and react, so I can gain their trust. I care for pets in a mindset the same as babysitting a child - understanding that the responsibility is placed in my hands, ensuring they are safe and well taken care of.
Information Alexandra C. would like to know about your pet
I am very cognizant that all dogs are different and will need time to adjust to new people. With this, please let me know the personality and any traits of your dog so I can make them feel comfortable.
A typical day
Whether your pup likes to stay indoors or loves to be adventurous outdoors, I can fit the specific need your pup has. I enjoy to go on long walks with my own pup, go to the dog park or play fetch in our fenced in yard. I love playing tug or fetch with the toys my pup has. Or if your pup is more laid back, I will give them all the cuddles, pets, and belly rubs they want.
