Safety, trust & environment

I don’t offer boarding in my home, but I’m happy to care for pets in their own homes, where they feel most comfortable. When staying with a pet, I follow all care instructions closely whether that includes feeding schedules, medication, walks, playtime, or just keeping pets company. I always aim to maintain their normal routine and keep them happy and relaxed. I also make sure to keep your home tidy and provide regular updates, so you have peace of mind while you're away. I am currently not accepting any house sitting bookings, but would be more than happy to help with drop-in visits.

Information Alexandra J. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I should pay attention to, or any triggers that I should be aware of. Additionally, please let me know if your dog requires medication.

A typical day

I love keeping pets engaged and happy, so I always try to tailor the type and length of activities to their personality and energy level. For dogs, I like taking them on walks, playing fetch, or even practicing simple tricks if they’re up for it. For cats, I make time to play with their favorite toys like feather wands or laser pointers, and give lots of affection if they enjoy it.

Pet care experience

While I’ve never had a dog of my own, I’ve had plenty of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all sizes and energy levels. Family and friends have trusted me to walk, feed, and care for their dogs while they’re away, and I regularly join a friend on her dog-walking routines. I have only been using Rover for 2 summers now, but I love working with so many different pets while I am home from college! I’m comfortable with dogs of all energy levels, temperaments, and breeds -- I would love to care for your dog next :)

Alexandra is a fantastic dog sitter! She was very considerate with our anxiety-riddled dog and made sure she was safe and sound while we were away. I would trust our pets with her anytime.

Second time Alexandra checked in on our cat Zoe. She did another great job and sent us great updates and pictures!

Alexandra did a great job looking after our two cats for 6 days. She provided in depth visit write ups with plenty of pictures. We would definitely recommend her for your pet sitting needs!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
