Idahoan pet sitter!

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Alexandra. For background- I spent my childhood taking care of the animals on the farm and the dogs inside of the house. I was a veterinary technician at the local animal shelters here in Idaho and advocate for animal welfare and spay and neuter surgeries. I spend my free time happily petting dogs at the shelter or going to the dog park.. Animals, mostly dogs, have become my passion and I find great joy in taking care of all dog breeds. This side job at rover will help my experience and keep me happy in life. I am free most days and can work with any scheduling issues. I am kind, hardworking, and loving. I always have the pets' best interest in mind. I decided to step back from working with animals and pursue college- meaning I am home all day studying and providing time for my own animals as well as yours ! If my prices for my services are too high, let me know, I can be negotiable!

Alexandra did a great job watching my 4 month puppy for daycare. Her small dog, cats, and chickens were a great way to do exposure training to get my pup used to different environments. Would definitely use her again!

Alex was just an amazing! She kept us updated on our puppies while we were gone, sending pictures and notes. She was very professional and so loving towards our dogs. We highly recommend Alex!!!

Alex was amazing! She sent photos the entire time I was gone. She kept the house clean and much more. I would recommend her every time. She’s sweet and caring. If you need someone it’s her!

Alex is amazing!! We had another pet sitter booked who bailed the night before our trip and had to quickly find someone on short notice. Alex was more than willing to help out and came over before we had to leave for our trip and it was over a holiday weekend! Honestly thank god the other sitter didn’t work out because I will definitely be rebooking with Alex again! I have a dog and cat who are both not quick to warm up to people and within a day or so it seemed like they were fast friends! She sent so many pictures and videos and all the anxiety of leaving the animals were gone. Highly recommend!!!

I have a bigger house with a fenced yard and lots of safe area for walking. I am a shelter worker for 6+ years and know how to safely and understand dog behavior on walks and in your home. I have placed a hold on dog boarding in my home due to a recent adoption of a new dog that needs time to adjust.

Information Alexandra L. would like to know about your pet

Please know that I have backyard chickens so if your dog is very prey-driven, please let me know. All of my dogs are 11+ years and shelter rescues with special needs. They get along with everyone and are very kept to themselves.

A typical day

I enjoy walks around the neighborhood. There's an incredible space with lush grass that my personal dogs enjoy playing in. There's plenty of trees, shrubs, and long, greenbelt-like, trails to walk on! I enjoy going to the greenbelt and/or Fort Boise dog park. It's incredible watching the view of downtown Boise with a furry friend! I also enjoy Amity dog park very much! It's well maintained, clean, and always has well behaved dogs there! Walking dogs is an adventure for both of us!
