Safety, trust & environment

Day Care Services: Walks, hikes, dog park trips, and vet visits — always tailored to each dog’s needs and energy level. I can be with your dog one-on-one or provide company and play time by bringing along my dog Molly. Molly is gentle and patient with puppies and has a consistent temperment. She is more likely to meander companiably or parallel play than she is to tussle so is the perfect companion for your senior pup or your more reactive dog that needs positive experiences with other dogs. In-Home Care (Dogs): Offered only once I’ve built a relationship and know the dog is safe with my cats and rabbits. In-Home Care (Small Pets): Rabbits or other small animals welcome for day care/overnights if penned. Outdoor Safety: Backyard is enclosed but not fully secure at the back — all outdoor time is supervised. Front yard is unfenced, so dogs are always leashed.

Information Alexandra D. would like to know about your pet

It’s important for me to know about any medical needs, medications, or mobility issues, as well as your pet’s behavioral quirks — such as anxiety, reactivity, or triggers. I also like to know their daily routines, favorite activities, and comfort items so I can keep them feeling safe and at home. Finally, it helps to know how they do with other animals, children, and new environments to ensure everyone stays happy and secure.

A typical day

Depending on the pet’s needs, we might go for a walk around the neighborhood, a hike on local trails, a swim at the dog beach, or a play session at the dog park. At home, I keep things balanced with rest, cuddles, puzzle toys, and calm companionship so pets feel happy, stimulated, and secure.

Care For Pets Great & Small

Pet care experience

Hello! I’m Alexandra. I am a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, and other small pets. I bring a calm, reliable approach to pet sitting, along with a background in both medical and behavioral care that allows me to support pets with a wide range of needs. Over the years, I’ve raised, minded, trained, and cared for everything from bouncy puppies, cantankerous cats, to fragile senior pets. I am skilled in administering subcutaneous fluids, injections, and oral medications, and I’ve supported paralyzed animals with their daily hygiene and comfort. I have also provided end-of-life care with gentleness and compassion, ensuring that pets feel safe and loved at every stage of life. As a rescue advocate, I have worked with a variety of animals experiencing anxiety, reactivity, and high energy. I always focus on patience, structure, and positive engagement. I strive to pay close attention to body language and subtle signals, which helps me to connect with pets who may be shy, nervous, or misunderstood. Aside from medical or behavioral needs, I believe in the little things like walks at the right pace, enrichment that keeps pets interested and engaged, and those quiet moments of affection that help them feel secure. Every animal has their own personality, and I love tailoring my care so they can truly thrive.

Can't recommend enough! So attuned to animals and my dog immediately felt at ease. Was very flexible, great communication, and had full trust that my dog would be safe, well cared for and loved. Will be booking again!

Helped me with a last minute dog park trip when I couldn’t get my pup out for exercise! Punctual, kind, and great with dogs!

Alexandra is one of the most caring people I've had the pleasure of getting to know. From caring for her own pets to looking after my fur baby, I know she's got our pets best interest at heart.
