16 to 40 lbs

I am currently only looking at house-sitting services. I look forward to meeting you! Since I can't own a dog, I look forward to taking care of yours as if it were my own. I have a regular 9-5, so I will walk them in the morning, and if they are close to my workplace, I will do a quick drop-in midday, followed by an evening walk.

Safety, trust & environment

I am pretty active so I try to get them exhausted (weather permitting). One walk in the morning, feed them, walk in the afternoon, and the last walk before I go to bed [ if am working from home]. If I am at work; one walk in the morning, when I come back from work, and before bedtime. All very short but enough for a business to be done, lol.

Information Alexandra D. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if the dog has been house-trained, any quirks s/he may have, feeding schedule. Your dog must be well-trained, friendly, and show no aggression towards other dogs. Must be CRATE trained! While you may describe your dog as 'easy' with no issues.

A typical day

You let me know what is fun for your dog, and I will accommodate that. Are they park lovers? Sure? Do they take a particular walking direction? Why not. I want to make sure the pet has fun and is mentally stimulated as well. I am flexible and adaptable.

Pet care experience

Hi! Thank you for checking me out! After a long hiatus, I am back on the app. I am looking forward to adding housing sitting to my services. I have been in this pet business for a minute and I am now looking forward to meeting some great pets! Please contact me if you have specific questions. I would love to get to know YOU, as well as your pup. So, I would love to have an initial meeting to see if we would match and get to know each other (human AND dog) before deciding to take each other on. Thank you! About this sitter: Hey there! Thanks for checking out my profile. I am currently looking to take care of your pup while you are out. I notice that there are lots of dog owners who would benefit by having their dog (s) being walked during the day and I am happy to offer my services and drop in on your pet. I am also offering the service of looking after your pup while you travel out of town if you are comfortable with it. I do request that we (You and Pup) meet up to see if there will be a fit. I do request that your pups are crate trained, friendly and house trained. Thank you so much and feel free to look at my reviews! Why I love dog sitting I have been a fan of dogs since my childhood. I have always had a dog from the time I could speak! Meet my pets I don't own any pets! So please do not forget to provide me with the necessary items for your dog (s)! My experience administering medication I am only as comfortable as the owner would be comfortable with me administering meds. In a perfect world, I would rather not take on this responsibility in case something goes wrong, but I have done it!

Alex did a great job caring for our dog Hank! She was patient as he got used to his new surroundings and made sure that he got plenty of walks!

She did an excellent job with my shy doggie. My dog was a little nervous for the stay but Alexandria did well with her for the two night three day stay. I would use her services again.
