Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced pet sitter/dog walker
As a former veterinary receptionist, I have extensive knowledge of animal health care and am prepared to administer medication and treat minor wounds. I have also worked as a professional dog hiker. In this role I walked up to 8 dogs of various sizes in the mountains near Victoria, BC, Canada. Through this role, I gained extensive experience as an obedience trainer. I am comfortable caring for dogs of all breeds, ages and sizes, as well as cats, birds and reptiles. I have been taking care of animals my entire life. I was the owner of an adorable labradoodle named Max, who passed away in 2020. Since then, I have been a reliable dog and cat sitter for many friends, family and neighbors.

Alexandra also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
As I am not permitted to have animals at my current home, I am extremely eager to house-sit or drop in to your home to care for your pets. As a former veterinary receptionist, I can ensure a safe environment for you pets and am prepared to care for them in the case of a medical emergency. As a former professional dog walker, I am also eager to drive to your home to pick up your dog for a big mountain hike or a simple walk around the neighborhood.
Ratings and reviews
Alex knows cats!! My 2 critters have very different personalities and Alex recognized this so quickly. She made friends with each of them on their own terms and they both adored her. I think they even remembered her when she was back about a year later. Kitty love. Alex is an excellent communicator and overall lovely person. I can't recommend her enough! 5+ stars!
Alex is so great with our two big dogs. One is very choosy about the people he likes and is very nervous and reactive. Alex did a great job befriending him! Alex has stayed at our home in several occasions and is respectful and responsive! 10/10 highly recommend!

Schedule
I am currently a graduate student in the Environmental Philosophy program at the University of Montana. I only have 13 hours of class a week, which gives me plenty of free time to stay at home with your animals and go on many walks. I do not have class Friday-Sunday and am available for full-time care on these days as well as all evenings. I am also able to leave campus in between classes for walks.
