About Alexandra L.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I own a Blue and Gold Macaw but she has a large cage where she can be safely kept away from other animals of needed. I also have a small kennel suited for smaller dogs or cats if your fur baby would prefer a covered area to curl up in. I live in a 2 bedroom apartment so plenty of room to move about and everything is pet proofed due to the parrot, imagine a toddler with bolt cutters for a face.
Information Alexandra L. would like to know about your pet
I believe that before caring for a pet, it’s essential to gather detailed information to ensure their safety, comfort, and happiness. Key things I like to know include: 1. Health and Medical Information Allergies or dietary restrictions. Medications and instructions (if any). Vaccination status. Known health issues or recent injuries. 2. Behavior and Temperament How they react to strangers, other animals, and loud noises. Any fears or triggers (e.g., storms, vacuum cleaners). Are they social or more reserved? History of aggression or biting. 3. Daily Routine Feeding schedule and portion size. Bathroom habits (frequency, location, and routine). Walk schedule and preferred activities. Sleep preferences (crate, bed, etc.). 4. Special Needs or Preferences Favorite toys, treats, or activities. Training commands they understand. Any restricted areas or behaviors (e.g., no furniture climbing). 5. Emergency Contacts Veterinarian information. Owner’s contact details and backup contacts.
A typical day
When watching pets, I ensure they are engaged, happy, and safe by tailoring activities to their preferences and energy levels. Some fun activities I enjoy doing with pets include: Playing Fetch or Tug-of-War: Perfect for active dogs who love to run or engage in playful challenges. Interactive Toys or Puzzles: Stimulating their minds with treat-dispensing toys or puzzles. Outdoor Walks and Exploration: Taking dogs for walks, hikes, or park visits to explore and get exercise. Cuddling and Bonding Time: For pets who enjoy affection, offering belly rubs, brushing, or quiet companionship. Chasing Laser Pointers or Feather Toys: Fun and exciting for cats, keeping them entertained and active. The goal is to ensure the pet feels loved, entertained, and cared for while their owner is away.

Reviews
Alex is incredible - always timely and very communicative. My very shy cat who never likes anyone has even started to open up to her!!
Always super communicative and reliable!
Alex was great! Very responsive and accommodating. I’ll definitely book her when I’m in need of a sitter for my cat in the future.
Alexandra is a wonderful pet sitter with a lot of experience taking care of animals great and small. She took wonderful care of my elderly dog while I was away and made sure she got the best care available while following her dietary restrictions. I would absolutely use her services again and recommend her to everyone.
