Pet care experience

UnLEASHing quality care 💞🦮

I've been caring for many different kinds of animals for nearly 22 years and been caring for pets on Rover for 3! My parents raised show dogs, my grandparents had livestock and horses, and of course every kind of pet under the sun (lizards and guinea pigs included!) My goal is to provide the same top quality love and attention that you do, no matter the service or time of day!

I am so thankful for Ali. My dogs are well cared for on a lunchtime visit each day and I feel better knowing she is there.

This is the second time booking Alexandria. She is reliable and communicative, and was flexible when I needed to adjust a date. I will definitely book again!

Alexandra was great and such a big help when I needed drop ins and walks for a week with Bodey. Very easy to talk to and adjust things when needed. Will definitely use her again!

Schedule

I have an entirely open schedule and availability. This means I'm able to provide the love, attention, and care your pet needs and deserves whenever you need! If you don’t see a pet-care package that suits your needs, please reach out with what you’re looking for and we can figure it out.

Safety, trust & environment

In both my home and yours, safety and comfort are my top priority. I adjust my care to the needs of each individual pet, medical and dietary needs included! Collars are worn during any stay, air purification systems are in place for those with breathing problems, and I have security cameras installed inside the home. With these safety measures, I can guarantee a calming space full of play and snuggles for every pet while their family is away.

Pets

A typical day

I believe that, as a caregiver, it is my responsibility to accommodate my life to their needs. From puppies needing multiple "business breaks", to dogs on a strict walking routine, my goal is to fit into the schedule you specify and already have! Each boarding and daycare dog is offered a complementary dental chew and human-grade treats if none are provided.
