Safety, trust & environment
My day genuinely revolves around animal care. My plans are structured around my dog, my vacations structured around my dog, my friends chosen by who my dog likes. :) My girl loves cuddling on my couch or in bed and loves having activities to do like puzzles, Kongs, frozen lick mats, etc. We love taking long long walks or hikes. She is my best friend and I treat her as such. She was a traumatized rescue who has taken a lot of time, and will continue to do so. However, I have given her time, attention, training, desensitization, ect. to ensure she gets the happiest and most comfortable life possible. I plan to treat every animal in my care with the same level of attention and love. The animal is always my #1 priority and concern, even before my own. My dog always eats before I do! I know every animal is different, and I am happy to listen to individualized needs, concerns, and requests to give the best care possible.
Information Alexandra L. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your animal has individualized needs or quirks I should be aware of! Please also let me know if there are behaviors I should be aware of. For example, if they chew, get into trash, don't like their paws touched, pull on leash, ect. Also, please let me know if there are any known allergies.
A typical day
I can provide whatever care is best, personalized to each animal! Depending on what your dog/cat likes, we can go on walks, play tug of war, wrestle, cuddle, train, ect.!

Pet care experience
I have never gone a day of my life without caring for an animal. I've had dogs and cats growing up, rode horses, helped on the farm, etc. I recently cared for my childhood Lab (day in day out) and she made it to 16 years old. I also fully trained my Mom's golden retriever from 8 weeks old. I have my own rescue dog now, and she has come so far in training! I have done a semester internship with a Vet Clinic as well. I truly love caring for and spending time with animals and will treat any animal with love and kindness, whatever their needs are.

Reviews
Alexandra is awesome! She made my trip away from home stress free and took great care of my two cats for me while I was gone. She has excellent communication skills and works to make sure you are reassured while away!
Alex was incredible! She was extremely professional and always on time. She sent us detailed communication and photos which made all of our hearts happy. She went above and beyond to care for our 3 cats and I couldn’t be happier we chose her to look after them. We would absolutely book her again. She was wonderful.
We truly appreciated Alex and her careful concern for our animals. Alex went out of her way for a concern she had for one dog. She also exhibited knowledge of animals and their special needs. I felt very comfortable with her care of our senior dog. I hope she is always available when we need someone in the future.
Alex was so amazing with our three cats. She followed all of my instructions perfectly, gave them lots of love and attention, and was able to give my elderly cat her medicine. Alex sent updates and pictures throughout our trip. The kitties were all healthy and happy when we returned. We will definitely use Alex again!
