Years of experience, loads of love!

Pet care experience

I have been dog-sitting and house-sitting for family and friends since I was in middle school, and I have never had an unhappy customer. I thoroughly enjoy caring for pets, and I love doing what I do. I have cared for small dogs and gigantic dogs, and a few cats here and there. I’ve walked dogs and spent multiple days and nights at houses to watch the dogs. I play with the dogs (and the cats, though they’re not usually as into that) and get all their energy out before bed. If they usually sleep with their humans, I’ll let them sleep with me too if they want to. I’m very good with and love all dogs, even ones that are generally iffy with new people, and cats seem to LOVE me, though they aren’t my favorite animals—dogs do win me over there. I do watch cats, and I will clean litter boxes and provide the care for them as well. No animal will be left behind, I promise! I do work full time 3pm-11pm with a rotating schedule. For the most part, I know what my schedule will be ahead of time, but some nights I may be forced to do overtime with little notice (overnight shift would be what I would be forced for). However, this means I’m almost always home all morning to spend time with you’re fur babies!

Alexandra did a wonderful job! I have a very skittish doggy and she took to her very quickly. Belly rubs and all! Alex didn't mind getting a bath from my other girl. Looking forward to using her again!

Alex was great! She stayed with my chihuahua for multiple nights at my place. My dog can be shy and is quite loyal to me. I was nervous to have someone watch her but she sent me multiple pics a day updating me on her. She was quick to answer. It made me feel relieved and it was nice to see my dog warming up to her more and more! At the end, my dog was being playful and loving towards Alex! My place looked great and she left me a really sweet note about Bella letting me know how she did. I will definitely book Alex again and would recommend her to others!

Alexandra was GREAT! She took such good care of my pups! We were away for a week and I usually get super anxious about leaving our two dogs. Alexandra send photos and updates all week and this made taking a vacation so nice. She communicated with me regularly and she left our home spotless too! She even fed my daughters' fish. Very respectful, responsible and over all great pet sitter!!!!!!! Look forward to having her back to stay with our pups soon. Thanks so much Alexandra!

Information Alexandra M. would like to know about your pet

How often they need walked, how often and how much food they eat per day, if they are good with other dogs (in case we go to a dog park or pass dogs on a walk), if they need any medications daily, vet information in case of emergency. No breed preferences, I love them all!

A typical day

We’ll get up in the morning and go potty outside, maybe have a walk if they’re used to that, then enjoy some delicious breakfast, and another potty trip outside. Then we can hang out inside and play with a gazillion toys, or lay around on the couch, or throw a ball outside. We can even just sit outside and watch the birds if they want. There’s even a dog park nearby that we can drive to!
