Casual walks for loved ones
Pet care experience
Hello! I previously worked in Tribeca Manhattan as a dog sitter while I balanced studies as a student. During my years I began to appreciate the company of a good companion, met many a friend, and even helped train a puppy or two. Now I am looking to continue the rewarding experience of helping owners keep their loved ones happy and healthy with a bit of outdoor stimulation, exercise, and companionship. I bring my small child in a wrap with me for walks during weekdays. If you have preferred routes or orders, I will work with you to make sure your dog gets a routine or similar experience so that they can enjoy their time as stress free as possible. Feel free to contact me with questions and concerns, I look forward to meeting your furry friend!
Reviews
Alexandra was great and very accommodating in our last minute booking. She is very nice, prompt and professional. I’ll be booking with her again in the future!
We are so FORTUNATE to have Alex providing exceptional care to our puppy, Sailor. Alex is incredibly knowledgeable of dog play, discipline, guidance & overall domestication. She is prompt, and follows through with all requests. Also, I love the updates and pictures Alex includes on visits. We offer our sincere gratitude, Alex. You ROCK, like a SAILOR on the blue-green seas!
Alex is a cousin on my wife's side and lived with us for several years while she was attending college in New York. She helped take care of our two dogs (Aussie and German shepherd) and two cats. She was organized, responsible and loving with our animals and I have no doubt she will be a great caretaker for anyone's pet.

Safety, trust & environment
Ensuring there is trust by mimicking familiar routines and established habits is key. I am there to assist the dog in leading a healthier and happier life, especially if they are often home alone. Watching their responses to commands, how they are motivated helps me keep them safe.
Information Alexandra H. would like to know about your pet
I have already walked and cared for a variety of breeds and sizes. I am comfortable with all dogs so far but a must is to meet the dog with the owner before hand.
A typical day
Walks can be determined by owner if there is a preference. Otherwise we will stick to nearby sidewalks and when possible, wooded trails. If there are toys your dog enjoys, we can include those as a playtime for bonding in the house or yard.

Pet care is a side job for me. My other full time job is taking care of my baby. I dogwalked with my firstborn already with the help of this app 3 years ago. Happy to do the same again!
