Highlights
Pet care experience
Your pet’s new bestie!
I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember! I have worked in an animal shelter and vet clinic as a veterinary assistant caring for a variety of animals. I have had the privilege of fostering 100 animals (mostly neonatal and orphaned kittens!). I currently have three cats and an 18 year old Crested Gecko. Two of my cats are fosters that never left- both have cererbellar hypoplasia, or better known as wobbly cat syndrome! I have pet sat for many kinds of animals including cats, dogs, guinea pigs and reptiles. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend! Please note: I do not use flexi/retractible leashes to ensure safety. I am happy to bring my own slip lead or standard leash. Please, let me know if you have questions!

I want to hear all about your pet! What do they like, what don’t they like? What are their quirks and preferences? I want to learn about them because I want to make sure I am caring for them the way you would.
Ratings and reviews
She was always on time, followed my dog’s boundaries and routines, and took great care of everything. She communicated well, caught a scheduling mix-up, and gave a temporary medication correctly. I really felt like I could trust her with my dog and would definitely ask if she is available and use the service again
I have personally known Alex for many years as a friend and a colleague in veterinary medicine. Alex has often been my pets caretaker when I am away, happily caring for my dog, my cats and my pet geckos. She has always been loving, gentle, and kind to my pets, to others pets and to the animals who had not found homes yet. When she pet sits, she is highly communicative, easy to reach and will send daily pictures of how everyone is doing. Even my shyest cats have come to absolutely adore Alex! I couldn't recommend her enough. When Alex watches your critters, you'll know they're in good hands. She has wide background knowledge of dogs, cats, reptiles and even farm pets, extending from behaviour to health. Her own pets are treated as beloved family members, and there is no doubt others pets will be treated the same.
My cat loves Alex because she put in the dedication to figure out how to gain her trust. Alex paid attention to my cat’s body language and preferences so well that my cat came to trust being picked up by her. She’s allowed very few people to pick her up. Alex earned that.
My cat, who dislikes most people, loves Alexandra. Alexandra has watched my cat several times. Alexandra has also helped with putting on my cat's flea and tick meds and nail trims.
Alex has watched my dog Elliot multiple times, takes very good care of him and follows his schedule and needs accordingly. Big animal person, so know your pets will be in good hands
She’s taken care of my five guinea pigs several times while I’ve been away on longer trips overseas, and I’ve always felt really comfortable leaving them with her. Five guinea pigs can be a lot to keep up with, but she’s always been reliable, patient, and great about making sure they’re fed, clean, and well taken care of. It’s such a relief knowing I have someone I trust with them when I’m far away. She really cares about animals, and I’d definitely feel comfortable having her watch my pets again.
