About Alexandra H.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I understand that every pet is unique, with their own personality, routines, and quirks. My approach is to honor their individual needs, whether that means a quiet, non-intrusive visit or a playful session with their favorite toy. As a courtesy, I also bring in mail and packages, can water plants and refresh kitchen trashcans before your return from extended trips.
Information Alexandra H. would like to know about your pet
I'd love to discuss your pet's unique needs and daily routine. If your pet requires medication, please include their diagnosis and method of administration, i.e. oral syringe, in food, or injection, with your request. I like to schedule a 15-20 minute meet and greet within 2-3 days of your booking request to go over the details, meet your pets, familiarize myself with your household (where pets eat, location of food and litterboxes, cleaning supplies, etc) and go over any questions we both may have.
A typical day
I provide one-on-one attention, clean and fill food and water bowls, scoop and dispose of waste and provide any medications or therapies as directed. I also check to make sure any shy or hiding pets are accounted for before concluding my visit. I always stay the full 30 or 60 minutes and make every effort to consistently arrive on time for your scheduled booking. I only accept a limited number of bookings per day and do not stack bookings or give you a vague window for my arrival. I'm happy to send pet photos and text updates during my visit.

Cat care experience
When it comes to your cat's well-being, nothing is more important than trust and experience. Over the past 30 years, I've had the privilege of getting to know countless cat personalities, from feisty ferals to pampered purebreds, caring for tiny newborn kittens up through soulful 20-year-old seniors. When you entrust me with your pets, their health, safety, and happiness are my top priorities. I am Insured, Red Cross Certified in pet first aid, and treat every pet client as cherished family members. I offer a professional, reliable, and deeply caring cat-sitting service, recognizing subtle cues that indicate a happy, healthy, or stressed cat. You can relax knowing your kitty is in the hands of a true cat enthusiast who understands their unique needs. I look forward to discussing how my experience can bring you complete peace of mind while you're away!
Reviews
Alexandra was great with both of my cats. She was very caring, she was on time and she spent quality time with them both. I felt she went above and beyond of what I expected from a sitter. When I got home, my cats seemed very happy. The photos she sent me were great! I know my cats loved her!
Alexandra is so good with my dog and is very professional and quick to communicate. She also has been very flexible and helpful when i have come into last minute changes. I'm very happy to have found her.
She was able to help me out at the last minute and was so nice and flexible when my plans changed.
Alexandra will care for your pet as is they’re her own, she’s the best!
