Availability

Pet care is my primary focus, so my schedule is built around the needs of the households I support. I’m able to accommodate a wide range of care styles, from regular drop-ins to extended stays or continuous presence, depending on what helps pets feel most settled. I do have occasional in-person commitments outside of pet care, but with advance planning these can be moved to accommodate your needs. This structure allows me to provide attentive, reliable care while maintaining the routines and stability pets depend on. I’m fortunate to have a husband who takes care of our pets while I’m gone so I can focus on your family.

Safety, trust & environment

I provide structured, detail-driven care designed to integrate smoothly into established households. I prioritize continuity of routines, emotional safety, and clear communication, allowing pets to engage at their own pace—particularly those who are anxious, sensitive, or accustomed to predictability. My approach is calm and observant, with careful attention to daily transitions, medications, and household expectations so pets remain settled and homes remain undisturbed.

Information Alexandra M. would like to know about your pet

I request detailed information about routines, medications, behavioral sensitivities, mobility needs, and household systems in advance. This includes how pets interact with each other, any triggers or handling preferences, and expectations around access to spaces. Understanding the full household dynamic allows me to maintain consistency, anticipate needs, and provide seamless care without disruption.

A typical day

Activities are selected based on each pet’s role, temperament, and energy level within the household. This may include structured walks, enrichment activities, calm play, confidence-building exercises, or quiet companionship. I focus on activities that support emotional balance and reduce stress, particularly in multi-animal environments where stability and thoughtful pacing are essential.

Warm, Detail-Focused Pet Care

Pet care experience

I specialize in calm, structured care for multi-pet households, anxious animals, and pets with medical or behavioral considerations. I’ve completed formal coursework through Animal Behavior College and have extensive real-world experience managing complex routines, medications, and long-term care needs. As a pet owner myself—including dogs requiring daily medication, mobility support, and emotional regulation—I understand the importance of precision, discretion, and consistency. Clients trust me to respect both their pets and their home while maintaining stability in their absence.

Alexandra has been so amazing to work with. She understands the behavior of our high-strung little dog. I feel confident she is treating our pet with a ton of patience and compassion. She is also easy to communicate with and leaves our house in great condition. I would happily recommend her!

Always love having Alexandra care for our pets and our home! We know they are well loved and cared for when we come home to tired and happy pups.

Ali was extremely easy to communicate with and also flexible as our needs evolved. I appreciate how much she put us at ease when it was our first time using Rover. Her calm presence, knowledge of dog behavior, and attention to detail to care for our dog while keeping routines in placewere all very appreciated and I look forward to working with her again in the future!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
