Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable Care for All Breeds
I've grown up around animals my whole life, including horses, dogs, cats, birds, even miniature donkeys of all ages, and I've never gone a day with less than 8 pets! In addition to owning several loving pets, my mom and I have rescued many pets from unsafe situations and helped nurse them back to a healthy condition, which has given me experience with animals of all personalities, backgrounds, and needs. I've cared for dogs my entire life, and have experience caring for up to 5 dogs at once. I am very comfortable handling both high energy and more relaxed dogs, and I adjust my care to fit each dog's individual needs. My responsibilities have included feeding, walking, supervising playtime, bathtime, dispensing oral medication, and making sure each dog stays safe, happy, and well cared for. Back home with my parents, I have two loving dogs - Millie who is a highly energetic dog who can't get enough playtime and Fletch who just wants love and affection 24/7. Caring for them has given me experience understanding different temperments. I also have experience overnight pet sitting for a dog and cat simultaneously while also baby sitting three children all with different schedules as well as daily check ins on a farm which included caring for several dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, and birds, so I am very reliable and comfortable managing multiple tasks at once while maintaining routines and giving attention and exercise as needed. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. Note* I am more than happy to also care for any pets other than dogs/cats!

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I provide care in the client's home to keep pets comfortable in their familiar environment and maintain their normal routine. During daily check ins, I make sure pets are fed, have fresh water, and recieve attention, playtime, or walks depending on their needs. I also handle litter box cleaning for cats and any basic household care related to the pets. For overnight stays, I stay in the home to provide consistent care, companionship, and supervision throughout the day and night. I am very detail-oriented and follow instructions closely, maintaining feeding and exercising schedules and make sure pets feel safe, relaxed, and cared for while their owners are away. I also pay attention to each pet's individual personality and adjust my care to fit their comfort level, whether they are energetic and playful or more shy and independent. In addition to in house pet care, I have no trouble taking pets for walks outside of the area whether that is a dog park, around the neighborhood, or by the lake per owner request. I would also be willing to take pets to a coffee shop for a pup cup if that is of the owner's interest! My top priority is to keep pets safe, healthy, and stress free by maintaining their routine and giving them reliable, attentive care.
Ratings and reviews
Just pick this woman and relax. Its gonna be hard to find someone better
Alex stayed at our house with our dog and cat for 3 nights and she was amazing. Super communicative, I loved all of her updates and pictures. I was never once worried about them! She was very respectful of our home - it looked just like we left it. We will definitely request Alex again for our next trip!
Alex is completely reliable and cares about the dogs in her care. She goes above and beyond for her clients and is always friendly and easy to work with. You won’t find a better person to help with your pets.
Alex recently stayed in my condo and watched my french bulldog, Hazel. I cannot say enough great things about Alex! She took Hazel out on numerous adventures and always sent photo updates. Alex would be sure and text if she had any questions as well. She was absolutely wonderful and I know Hazel misses her already. I will definitely book with Alex again.
Alex was wonderful as always!! Thank you so much for being so loving, attentive, and communicative!! We appreciate you so much 🫶🏼
Alex is by far one of the best dog sitters we’ve ever had. She took amazing care of our dog and our house. Her communication and updates were perfect and our pup absolutely loved her. If you are looking for someone to take care of your pets, look no further! Thank you Alexandra!
