Availability
I currently work from home, so my schedule is fairly flexible. If you have a pup, I have raised several puppies of my own - so I am great at reinforcing positive behaviors as well as keeping their brains working. My kids are 6 & 9 and would only be around during the weeks before 8am and after 3pm. But my children are dog savvy and understand how to appropriately interact with both dogs and cats.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced yard for potty and play. I also have a variety of dog beds through the house. More than likely if your pup is staying with me, they will be hanging out in whatever room I am in and be offered frequent play and potty breaks. My dogs aren't allowed on furniture due to the number of dogs we have and pet hair - but we let our doggie guests do whatever they are used to at home. We have multiple dog beds through the house, a chair specifically for the dogs and laps - I would love a lil lap dog buddy!

Information Alexandra K. would like to know about your pet
I have several baby gates and play pens (along with my multiple pets), so I can easily move dogs around as needed to accommodate our doggie guests. (Meaning if multiple dogs will overwhelm your pup, I can keep mine away to ensure yours feels comfortable and at home) We can do unaltered puppies if under 6 months. If over 6 months would prefer fixed pets only, but happy to discuss. I do have cats, but your pup wouldn't be left alone to interact with them. If your dog has a high prey drive, my house may not be the best fit due to having cats. If your pup just wants to be near a human and get some extra love and attention during the day, my home will be perfect.
A typical day
Because I work from home, your pup will be at my side the whole day. If your pup has energy and likes to play, we can play in the yard several times a day.

Pet care experience
At the young age of 7, I would go door to door asking neighbors if I could walk their dogs. From there my love of animals continued. My first real job was at a petting zoo - I have worked with farm animals, exotic animals, reptiles and of course dogs and cats. I was a behavior specialist at our local humane society and have continued my career path with animals. Because I work from home, I thought it may be a great opportunity to offer my services to families that need it! I have a passion for animals and will treat your pets as if they were my own.
Reviews
Alex was an amazing pet sitter -- we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She took such great care of our cat and gave us total peace of mind while we were away. We really appreciated that she scheduled a meet-and-greet beforehand so we could get to know her, which made us feel even more comfortable leaving our pet in her care. She was always easy to communicate with, super responsive, and very professional throughout the entire process. It’s clear she genuinely cares about animals and goes above and beyond -- even giving us updates on our fish as a thoughtful bonus! We would absolutely recommend Alex to anyone looking for a reliable and caring pet sitter, and we’ll definitely be booking with her again!
Thank you Alexandra for taking my monster out today! I never know how she’s going to act with strangers and I’m so grateful she was receptive and got out and played and went potty while I was at work all day.
Thank you so much for taking care of Max. He loved it!!
Yesterday I dropped my eight-month-old poodle puppy off at Alexandra’s house for Doggy Day Care. Besides his litter mates he really hasn’t had much exposure to playing and meeting other dogs, so I was a little concerned. Alexandra explained how she would introduce him to her dogs and make sure he was comfortable before letting them get to know each other. When I saw the pictures she sent me of all of the dogs playing together I knew I had found the right person. If dogs could smile, I would say that Milo was very happy after a day of fun and interactions with Alexandra and her dogs. I would highly recommend Alexandra to anyone who wanted the best of care for their dogs. Sharon G.
