One-Pet-at-a-Time Sitter!

Pet care experience

Reactive dog? Anxious dog? Dog who doesn't like men or other animals? I'm a dog-sitter with independent pet-care insurance coverage who is here to help! I've taken care of dogs for as long as I can remember; small, big, energetic, lazy...I've seen it all. I'm very educated on trauma and how it impacts behavior, and I've spent ample amount of time caring for dogs with histories of trauma. I care about the health and well-being of all animals which will show when I meet and spend time with your pet. I will take into consideration all information provided to me by the pet's human regarding the pet's regular routine to ensure consistency. I will make sure the temperature of the apartment is appropriate for the pet's needs, and I will always make sure water is plentiful and food is given on schedule. I keep my floors very clean so there is no need to worry about crumbs/people food. I am very attentive and will pay close attention to your dog's way of communicating their needs. When walking dogs, I will tailor my approach to the individual pet, their reactivity level, size/weight, and energy level, as well as instructions from the pet's human. I will pay close attention to the weather to ensure your dog stays safe in extreme temperatures.

This was my second time leaving my dog Ryder with Allie- just like last time, she was awesome! Super communicative and responsive, sent cute pics and updates, and Ryder seemed very comfortable in her home.

Alexandra was amazing. She sent me regular photos and updates, was extremely flexible with pickup and drop off, and totally understanding of my dog’s extreme anxiety issues and reactivity. Hope we can use her again to board our dog in the future!

Allie was so great with my dog Ryder! This was his first time staying with her, and I could tell he was comfortable at her place right away at the meet and greet. She sent lots of updates and cute pictures throughout the weekend, and he looked very relaxed and comfy in all the pics she sent. Will absolutely be contacting her again next time I need someone to watch him!

Information Alexandra E. would like to know about your pet

How is your dog around strangers (human and animal)? Any favorite parks? Are they reactive to squirrels, cars, birds, etc.? Any behavioral concerns? Any allergies? ****Please know that I will not use prong collars or other aversive tools while caring for your pet.

A typical day

There is no typical day because different dogs have different needs! If appropriate, I would love to take your dog to a park and allow them to take in all the smells. If your dog does not do well around other people or animals, I will make sure to walk down less crowded streets and avoid parks. Regardless, I will give them lots of pets and make sure they are given opportunities for movement and exploration!

My partner and I are transparent with pet parents regarding any plans we have outside of the home so we can make sure your pet isn’t alone for longer than they are used to. We also have a pet cam that will be plugged in anytime we leave the house, so eyes can be on your pup even if we aren't home.
