Reviews
We love Alexandra’s attentiveness, care, and responsiveness to our cats and their particular personalities.
It’s so great to go away and know your pets are in good hands. Alexandra was great! Loved the reports and photos. And our kitties loved her, too!
Alexandra was absolutely wonderful with Joey. We couldn't have found a better person to drop in on him whilst we were out for the day. She even took the time to meet him the night before, and was very patient and sweet as he was rather nervous of her to start. However by the end of the drop in, Joey was well and truly smitten with Alexandra. She was so friendly, and super communicative. Would very highly recommend. It's just a shame we don't live closer so we could have Alexandra come look after Joey more!!
Allie was wonderful. My 3 kitties loved her right away and she was very attentive. She kept me informed and sent me pictures which was great. Thank you.

Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I treat my clients and their homes the way I'd like mine to be treated ☺️ comfortable cleaning up muddy paws, cat boxes, accidents, spit up, etc. I make every effort to keep your home as clean as it was when I arrived. Dog Walking Safety Notes: -All walking visits are single family only, I do not walk clients from multiple households at once. -Maximum of 2 dogs walked at one time -Your dog will never be introduced to other dogs on walks (to avoid transfer of communicable diseases like Kennel Cough, and to prevent negative/unsafe interactions) -Chest harnesses may be recommended for pullers -Please let me know if your pet has a history of ingesting foreign objects so I can be extra vigilant on walks
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 your 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.
