Safety, trust & environment

I’m not a “guesser”, I’ll always ask you a question if I’m unsure of how you’d care for your pet in a certain situation. I enjoy keeping pet parents updated with photos or messages throughout the day, so you can be confident your furry friends are happy, safe, and well cared for. My flexible schedule allows me to adapt to each pet’s routine and make sure they feel loved and comfortable while you’re away.

Information Alexandra H. would like to know about your pet

The two primary questions to keep everyone safe would be: 1. upon opening the door, will they try to bolt? let’s keep this from happening in any way possible! 2. general temperament? i’m not afraid of a pup who may be a bit “aggressive”, everyone has a resource to guard. Just let me know what makes them the happiest and most comfortable to keep us all safe and having the best time possible.

A typical day

I’m happy to fit your pets needs or just go with the flow. I’m someone who adores being outside, so your pup will get plenty of steps in!!!

Pet care experience

I won’t just care for pet, I give them a fun, loving, and (overly) attentive experience. I’ll talk to your pets like they’re friends, play with them on their terms, and genuinely care for each one as if they were my own. With years of experience caring for cats, dogs, and even rats, I really understand different personalities and needs. I’m reliable, responsible, and full of playful energy; I make sure your furry family is happy, safe, and loved while you’re away.

She expertly handled my semi reactive puppy and he adored her! Made me question if he is even reactive at all..you could tell he felt safe with her instantly. She was not phased with him at all- highly recommend!

Alex did amazing job at taking care of my pet chinchilla!! She spent time playing with him and made sure my chinchilla’s cage was stock up in fresh hay, food, water and toys. 😊
