Alexandra can care for
Availability
Pet care fits into my routine really well because I have a flexible full-time job. I’m usually in the office about three days a week, but my schedule isn’t rigid and I can work from different locations or from home when needed, especially when I’m pet sitting. Because of that flexibility, I’m able to plan my day around feeding times, walks, and check-ins so pets stay on their normal routine. I generally walk dogs in the morning and afternoons, so it’s easy for me to build that into my day. I’m also available for morning, evening, and overnight care depending on what’s needed.

About Alexandra K.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their normal routine as consistent as possible so they feel safe and comfortable while their owner is away. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walk times, medication, and any specific routines or house rules. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, whether that’s walks, playtime, or just quiet company depending on their personality. I’m also careful to respect their space and adjust my approach if a pet is shy or needs time to warm up. I keep the home clean and tidy, including feeding areas, water bowls, and litter boxes if needed, and I’m comfortable handling any messes or accidents. I also provide updates and photos so owners know how their pet is doing while they’re away.
Information Alexandra K. would like to know about your pet
Important things to know about a pet ahead of time are their daily routine, feeding schedule, walk needs, and any medical or medication instructions. It’s also helpful to know their personality, whether they’re social, shy, anxious, or reactive, so I can adjust how I interact with them. I also like to know about any triggers, house rules, or behaviors like leash pulling, crate routines, or anything specific that helps keep them comfortable and safe.
A typical day
With dogs, I like to keep things simple and fun based on their energy level. This can include walks, extra time outside, sniffing and exploring, or playing with their favorite toys. For more active dogs, I enjoy longer walks and playtime to help them get their energy out. For calmer dogs, I’m just as happy spending time with them, giving attention, and keeping them company. I always try to make sure pets are comfortable, engaged, and happy while their owner is away.

Pet care experience
What sets me apart is that I have experience caring for dogs mainly through family and friends, including medium and large dogs, as well as puppies and senior dogs. I’m comfortable following set routines and making sure everything stays consistent, whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, or daily care habits. I also have experience with leash-pulling dogs and basic training routines from working with my own dogs, so I’m comfortable reinforcing good behavior in a calm and patient way. I feel confident handling a wide range of situations and I’m happy to follow any specific instructions an owner provides. With dogs, I like a balance of walks, playtime, and downtime, but I always follow their lead, some dogs want lots of attention and activity, while others prefer space and quiet company. I’m comfortable with both and focus on making sure each dog feels safe, relaxed, and cared for. I also have experience with cats, and I enjoy working with multiple types of animals in a home. Overall, I’m reliable, patient, and focused on making sure every pet is well cared for while their owners are away.
