Pet Stylist & Care Expert | 6 Years of Experience

Pet care experience

Hi there! I’m a fully trained pet stylist with over 6 years of experience in pet care. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, breeds and ages—including nervous and reactive pups—and understand the unique care each pet needs. In addition, I've cared for birds (including exotic parrots), fish, and rodents, so I’m well-versed in a wide range of pet care. I’m certified Canine Behaviour & Psychology and in Canine First Aid and CPR, ensuring your pet is always in safe hands. Currently, I own two wonderful German Shepherds and 3 naughty birds! My experience as a pet parent has given me a unique perspective on the bond we share with our pets. I'm flexible and happy to accommodate your pet’s needs—whether it’s grooming desensitization, handling or more personalized care for your furry (or feathered) companion.

Lexi was brilliant with our puppy Maple for daily dog walks. Her updates were wonderful, especially the photos and her love and care for animals shines through. We look forward to booking her again in the future and we couldn’t recommend her enough ⭐️

Our first experience of using Rover and couldn’t recommend Alexandra enough ! We have two large breed dogs and she was really great, confident and competent. Her reports were always brilliant and let us know how the dogs were getting on while we were away. Thank you from Major & Lola :)

Safety, trust & environment

I believe that a trusting relationship is the foundation of great pet care. Your pet will always be treated with the utmost care, respect, and compassion in a safe, secure environment. I prioritize their well-being by ensuring a calm atmosphere, using gentle techniques, and being mindful of any special needs. I also take great care in looking after your home, ensuring it remains a safe and comfortable space for both you and your pet.

Information Alexandra O. would like to know about your pet

To provide the best care for your pets, it’s important to know any special needs or preferences they may have. Please share details such as any medical conditions, allergies, or dietary restrictions. Let me know if your pet is on a specific medication schedule or requires any treatments. Understanding their behavior, likes, and dislikes is also helpful—whether they prefer a certain toy or style of play or need extra attention during certain times of day, or have any fears or sensitivities. The more information you provide, the better I can ensure a smooth and positive experience for your pet!

A typical day

A typical day with dogs begins by ensuring they feel comfortable and settled. I start with a quick check-in to make sure they have everything they need, whether that’s food, water, or a walk. Depending on the day’s schedule, I might give them a grooming session if needed, some playtime or other enrichment. I make sure to tailor the day to each dog's individual needs, always providing a calm, enjoyable experience that leaves them happy and well-cared for. When caring for cats, I focus on their comfort and privacy, as I know how important their space is. I start by making sure they have food, fresh water, and clean litter, before spending time with them if they’re social. For elderly or sick cats, I follow their specific care routines, such as administering medication and offering extra attention. Everything is done quietly and gently to avoid causing any stress. Rodents, like hamsters, guinea pigs, or rats, need a bit of extra attention to their living spaces. I start by cleaning cages, ensuring their bedding is fresh and they have plenty of food and water. Afterward, I offer them time out of their cages if they enjoy handling or interaction, always being gentle and mindful of their small size and delicate nature. With birds, I make sure their environment is clean, their cages are well-maintained, and they have fresh food and water. If they’re comfortable with it, I spend time talking to them and providing enrichment through toys and interaction. For exotic parrots, I ensure that their specific needs, such as a proper diet and mental stimulation, are met to keep them happy and healthy.
