Pet care experience
Greetings! A quick note about my experience with animals: I grew up around dogs - a golden retriever named Rusty, a poodle named Pierre, and a Coton de Tulear named Sinatra. I love being around all types of dogs and cats and get a lot of fulfillment just by being in their company. I have a way with animals that leaves both of us better off for being together. It's been helpful, too, that my aunt is a veterinarian and that I've spent time helping out at her practice in PA. She has been a dependable resource for me over the years and I am constantly picking her brain about various ideas and topics. Until two years ago, I had a cat named Simba who was a very dear companion for 13 years. I had adopted him in NYC, was his third owner, and steadily built trust with him over the years. I administered insulin shots to him twice daily once it was clear he was diabetic and I adapted my caretaking strategies and mannerisms in stride. Needless to say, I have learned the necessity and benefits of meeting each animal where they are and establishing trust and safety from there. I can offer you the following things: -sincere care and affection for your pet -long leisurely walks for exercise and change of scenery -timely feeding/brushing -easy availability to update you on how your pet is enjoying our time together.
Reviews
Alexandra was great! I could tell she really engaged with my kitty and had fun doing it. She even got my kitty to walk on her spinning wheel! I highly recommend Alexandra. She went above and beyond what was asked. XxxOoo...
Thank you so much for taking good care of our girl so we could venture out a few times during our visit. We feel very lucky to have met Alexandra and we were very comfortable with her keeping our Momo while we were away for a few hours. She sent photos and updates and even made her dinner ☺️
We loved having Alexandra! Very attentive, great with our puppy, Momo. Hope to have her back. Highly recommend.
Alexandra is a lovely soul and is taking very good care of our cat Maggie.

For caring for pets in your home, I approach my care for them no differently than I would the care for my own pet. Focused attention to keep them engaged, I talk to them and we keep each other company. Feel free to contact me with any questions. I'll look forward to speaking with you.
Information Alexandra D. would like to know about your pet
Any details and information you want to share about your pet's personality and history will be helpful for me to keep in mind during our time together.
A typical day
Depending on your pet's preferred routine we could find ways to stay engaged at home with play time or explore the creek and network of trails we have in town, soak up the sun (with treats and water in tow, of course) and get some exercise while smelling and seeing the best nature has to offer in magnificent Sedona.

Availability
I enjoy having animals feature into my daily life whenever possible -- I am currently working from home part-time and have flexibility in and control of my schedule for visits and stays. The more notice provided of your preferences for the booking, such as the frequency of time outside, the more flexibility I can offer to arrange my schedule to meet your requests.
