I love dogs more than I like people

Pet care experience

I started fostering dogs and cats when I was around 14, volunteered at a dog shelter in HS, and have become the designated dog sitter for my friends and family. I have fostered close to 100 animals since I started, varying from pregnant moms to newborn pups and kittens to dogs who need a little extra care after a surgery or procedure. I truly love caring for animals and would love to be able to help other people with their furry friends.

Alex was exceptional house sitting for our pup - diligent and attentive. Prompt responses but better yet - proactive to communicate any updates. We love how Alex made a connection with our dog and will absolutely look forward to her support next time we travel! Thanks!

Alexandra does a great job caring for our dog. Our pup's response to her when she sees her says it all. Her tail starts wagging and she runs to see her. It is a great comfort to know that our "fur baby" is looked after be someone she loves to be with and is excited to see! If you need a great, caring person to look after you "fur baby" do not hesitate to call Alexandra!

Alexandra has been watching my vizsla Ruby for years whenever I am out of town. Ruby is somewhat high maintenance (specific diet, takes medicine for allergy, high energy, not friendly with big dogs) and Alexandra always takes great care of her. She sends pictures and updates often about Ruby, especially when we're away for more than a day or two. 10/10 Recommend Alexandra if you ever need a dog walker/sitter!

Hi! I will be biased as I am Alexandra's father, but I can unequivocally vouch for Alexandra's passion and love for dogs, cats, and most all animals, but particularly dogs. As a family, we have fostered hundreds of dogs (mothers, pups, cancer dogs, etc) for San Diego's most well known "No Kill" animal rescue and shelter. We raised our children to be compassionate companions for these dogs in need. On top of her unbridled love for all dogs, she is an extremely friendly, reliable, respectful, responsible individual who could be trusted with caring for an animal as well as respecting the sanctity of an individuals home. I have supreme confidence in her ability to be an amazing sitter/walker and all around outstanding employee and person. You would do well to have her as part of your business/organization.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a very trusting and calm demeanor with animals that I think lets them bond to me quickly. I love to give cuddles and belly scratches (if the dog wants them of course) and I know how to get a dog to come to me. I am a patient and loving person, so that is how I am with animals as well.

Information Alexandra L. would like to know about your pet

I like to know any info a do owner would find useful. The most important are: how they get along with other dogs (on and off leash), if there’s any breeds they don’t interact well with, any other animals they don’t interact well with, and anything the dog is particular about (doesn’t like being picked up, doesn’t like his paws touched, etc).

A typical day

I love to play with dogs, usually a good game of catch or tug-of-war (really whatever the doggo prefers!). I am from San Diego so I know lots of trails and walks that I like to take in the area.
