About Alexandra M.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I make every effort to treat my clients homes the way I'd like mine to be treated. Muddy paws, spit up, accidents, etc., will always be cleaned up (please leave out materials or let me know to bring my cleaning kit!) Please let me know if you have special requests during drop in visits. I'm happy to grab mail, pick up packages or water plants while you're away. Dog Walking Safety: I'll ask if your dog has a history or reactivity, stress or anxiety to any specific triggers. Aggression or anxiety are never deal breakers, I'll just plan walking routes or activities accordingly. If you live on a busy road, I can provide transportation to a park or trail (additional fee may apply based on distance). Please alert me to any medical concerns, allergies, mobility issues, or injuries.

Information Alexandra M. would like to know about your pet
All pets please provide any info on food or seasonal allergies, any "no pet zones", favorite treats/motivators and vet contact information. For cats specifically please let me know if the are indoor/outdoor, indoor only or if they are prone to bolting so I can be vigilant entering or leaving the home. For dogs please provide any and all information relating to challenging behaviors. Reactiveness to people or other dogs, pulling on lead, bite history, anxiety triggers, history of ingesting foreign objects, etc. This information is to help me appropriately prepare for visits. Challenging behaviors are not a determining factor for bookings as long as I can provide a safe environment for all!
A typical day
Activities tailored to your pets preferences! Dog drop in visits typically include a 15-20 minute walk, snack and snuggles. Playtime as requested by your pup. Kitty visits include playtime with preferred toys. For anxious kitties or pups I'm comfortable working on building trust with slow introductions.

Reviews
Allie was absolutely wonderful with our energetic crew! Communication was also excellent! Allie is highly recommended!
Allie was fantastic with my fur baby! She played with him, made sure he had food/water, and gave him plenty of love! She went above and beyond especially on the last day cleaning up after a hairball and notifying me about a potential constipation issues that she was able to help him with. I would 100% book with her again if we go out of town.
Saved us on a last minute trip! She was accommodating with our changing plans and made sure our dogs had a great walk!
Thank you as always!
