Lifelong Cat Lover! *CATS ONLY*
Pet care experience
I helped take care of my own beloved cat MayMay growing up, as well as guinea pigs, hermit crabs, a crayfish, and assorted fish! I have helped with remedies/medications, even for my betta fish. I also worked at Hidden Pond Nature Center for 3 years, including the care of frogs, turtles, salamanders, and snakes (including bathing!). While working in DC, I started caring for my friend's sweet cat Sylvester while she was on trips - he has anxiety and requires crushed up medications and extra attention. I also stayed at her place for a week to take care of him. Currently, I have 3 goldfish named Ok, Tober, and Fest who are nearly 4 years old. I absolutely love animals with a particular fondness for cats, love spending time with them, and am very invested in their care. I am also generally a devoted, detail-oriented and experienced caregiver, having been my grandma's primary caregiver (including coordination of intensive healthcare) for months this year.
Reviews
Alexandra was fantastic. We booked her for a drop-in visit over Christmas and she was very friendly and communicative. She spent great quality time with our kitty and sent plenty of photos and videos, which were nice to receive when you’ve been away from your pet! She followed our instructions to a tee as well. Would recommend and we would love to book her again whenever we next leave town.
Alexandra is a truly wonderful person and petsitter. It's always hard to leave a pet alone, especially when your pet is elderly. With out 19 year old cat, Midnight, anything can happen. We were worried Midnight would be lonely and anxious without us, until Alexandra came along! She went above and beyond with pictures and videos, and spending quality time with Midnight. I feel very lucky to have her as a pet sitter. I hardly think Midnight noticed we were gone!
Alexandra is GREAT with all animals, but she especially loves cats. She does an amazing job pet sitting. She'll make sure they're well taken care of, and she will definitely give your pets all the love they deserve!

I have a spacious 500 sq ft apartment to host your cat, complete with cat proofing and designated play and litter box areas. The noise level is quiet. I am also approved to foster cats, and if I happen to be fostering a cat at the time we can discuss more details.
