Your dog in a safe and loving home!
Pet care experience
WARNING: The rate will go up to $40 on Aug 1st. So any bookings done after august 1st will be up by $5. Those who have booked with me previously will be charged the current rate of $35 (NO CHANGES for y'all). Hello! Thank you for checking my profile! 1. I do NOT have a dog! Please bring all necessary items for your pup. 2. Do bring your pup's crate. I don't put them in there while being at home, but until I can trust your dog in a new environment while I am out running errands, it will definitely help! [Too many peeing accidents and anxious dogs ...] 3. IF you need a dog sitter on Wednesday, please do not send a request ON WEDNESDAY. I would like to meet your pup at least 2 days to one day prior to the day you are interested in. It's just a courteous thing to do as I may need to shift things on my schedule here and there. 4. NO PITTS! Not that I hate them...my building just won't allow them. :( I am trustworthy, I promise! If you have no other choices and anxious about leaving your pup, I hope you will consider me! I will provide personal and detailed care for your pup as per your instructions. I have regularly dog sat before and now would love to take my skills with your dog! My perfect match is a house-trained dog, quiet, friendly, easy-going, and not aggressive with other dogs. Your dog MUST be crate trained. Puppies will be charged an extra $10; they may be cute but they're work! I am available for temporary day/night care if you are out of town or have family coming over. If you so wish, I can send you photo updates while your pup stays with me so that you are worry-free. 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 both of you 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. 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!
Reviews
Alex is amazing! Handled my husky with ease. Highly trusted and will book again soon!
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.
Alexandra was great! She kept us updated and sent pictures. Our Ning looked just as good and happy as when we dropped her off. We would definitely use her for future bookings.

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. I have had that same dog chew my furniture and pee on my floor while left alone. If it's a new dog, i keep them crated while running very short errands.
A typical day
No fun parks around me but I take them around different areas so they don't get too bored on their walks. Your dog's sleeping arrangement: My living room. I don't let dogs in my bedroom or any sleeping places. The time I'll spend with your dog All day while I work from home which is about 3 days per week and sometimes weekends.
