I work full-time Monday–Friday (back around 3pm), but I build my routine around the dogs in my care to make sure they’re happy, exercised, and well looked after. I always do a long walk before I leave for work, followed by another big walk after work and a final walk before bedtime. Weekends are much more flexible. I’m very consistent, responsible, and genuinely love spending time with dogs—your pup will be treated like part of my routine and get plenty of care, structure, and affection every day!

Pet care experience

I’m an animal behaviorist by training, with experience caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. I focus on understanding each dog’s individual needs and behavior to provide calm, consistent, and attentive care. I’m confident working with both high-energy dogs and more relaxed or senior pets, and I prioritize maintaining their routine to reduce stress. I’m also very communicative and provide regular updates and photos, so you can feel confident your pet is safe, happy, and well cared for. First-time Rover users can message me for a discount code to use on their first booking with me!

Alexandria was super patient, communicative, and welcoming. She accepted my request last minute which was a relief. My cat had a really hard first night adjusting at her house since he is so used to our home and she worked so hard to make him comfortable. By the end of his stay they were spending time together and he was opening up and being himself. She made such an effort to keep the both of us feeling better about being apart! So so grateful.

Alexandra is an amazing and trustworthy pet sitter. She took great care of my cats, always on time and very attentive to their needs. You can truly tell she loves animals. I felt completely at ease knowing my pets were in such good hands. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.

Alexandra was great with my cat. She followed my care instructions and was very easy to work with. She made sure send me photos at every visit showing my cat at play and she gave me thorough text updates, so I felt at ease and like my cat was in great hands while I was away. I would 100% recommend Alexandra.

I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better person than Alexandra to look after my dog. A few days into the stay, my dog started acting a bit off and wasn’t eating properly, which isn’t like him at all. Alexandra noticed straight away and messaged me, asked a few thoughtful questions, and actually helped figure out that the cause of this issue was the new brand of dog food I had recently purchased. She kept me updated the whole time, sent photos, and adjusted things to help him feel more comfortable while we sorted it out. You could tell she genuinely cared, and was not just “watching” him. She was really paying attention and thinking things through. Within a few days or so, he was back to himself, and I honestly think that’s down to how patient and attentive she was. When I picked him up, he was happy and clearly had been really well looked after. It made such a difference knowing he was in safe hands while I was away. Alexandra is just one of those people you will like straight away. She’s thoughtful, reliable, and will take care of your pets as if they were her own. I wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.
