Dog, cat, & small animal care!
Pet care experience
Hello! You may have seen me around town walking my hound and my kitty in his chariot (that is, his stroller). I grew up with a "pack" of usually 5 dogs and 3 cats at a time! My family took in rescues - hunting beagles that wandered onto our property and area shelter babies. I developed a sense of responsibility and deep love and compassion for our beloved furry brothers and sisters. So it's no stretch that I'm now working part time to take care of yours!! I'm offering: Half hour to hour walks Longer walks/park or hike field trips for your adventurous pups Cat walks! I provide the kitty stroller Drop in visits for dogs, cats, birds, bunnies, ferrets, gerbils, hamsters, piggies, small flying marsupials - anything else? Let me know! Daytime or overnight sitting I recently fostered two 2-week old chihuahua puppies for several weeks, and I have a good deal of experience making sure elderly puppies and kitties are comfortable and attended to with great patience.
Reviews
She is wonderful!!!! She treats our babies like her own, we are blessed to have her
Alexandra stayed at our house and took care of our two cats for 2.5 weeks. She was absolutely amazing! She played with the cats everyday and gave them so much love. We didn’t worry about the cats at all while they were in her care. She gave us daily updates with pictures of our fur babies. We returned to a spotless house and very happy kitties. We will definitely be using Alexandra again.
Thank you ☺️. I was happy that Toco and Alexandra hit it off right away .
Alexandra was fantastic! She took very good care of our fur baby, Toco. Alexandra provided frequent updates on Toco’s care, which helped us relax and enjoy our family reunion. I’m excited to have found someone local to utilize in the future. I highly recommend her for anyone looking for a mature, responsible animal lover to take care of your fur babies. Thank you! Alexandra.

Safety, trust & environment
When I go to your home, I will take my time to give your animals plenty of love and play in addition to any walks/feeding they need. Their emotional well-being is of utmost importance.
Information Alexandra F. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know how friendly your dog is with other dogs, cats, and children so that I can know whether or not to let them say hi to others on walks.
A typical day
After a morning snuggling in bed, the dogs and I venture out for a morning walk'n'sniff around the neighborhood. After a yummy breakfast, we can go on a field trip! Belle and I like to go hiking at Carl Sandburg, walking at Rhododendron Lake Park (walking distance from my house) and Flat Rock Park. We can then have some quality time together napping and cooling off before evening playtime, walks, and - most importantly - dinner!

Availability
I currently care for my gorgeous girl, Belle, with one medium and one looong walk a day (and if you've ever walked a hound, you know that can be an ordeal: they have to sniff EVERYTHING). We like to go on field trips to parks and hiking at Carl Sandburg! If you are wanting your pet to get a bit of socialization with another dog who is extremely sweet, I would be happy to walk your dog(s) with Belle - but that is up to you.
