Highlights
Pet care experience
Ready to love your pets like my own
I've owned and loved a variety of pets in my 50+ years including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, horses and even a mouse! I have experience with senior pets, have a reliable vehicle for transport or emergencies, and can administer meds if needed. I am energetic and fit, so I love long walks with the pups whether on the trails, at the beach or just in the park down the street. I've been house and pet-sitting for friends for many years and I love caring for animals, they bring me so much joy with their unconditional love.

Ratings and reviews
Alexandra was great! Communicative, pragmatic, experienced. No issues whatsoever
Alexandra came to hang out with our two cats while we were out for the night since our guy just had surgery. It was a last minute booking and she was very kind and responsive. Our vet had to change our cat’s medication protocol and Alexandra was considerate and made sure he got everything he needed. Would definitely book with her again! Thanks Alexandra!
Alexandra was lovely. She went out of her way before Mina’s overnight to meet up with her dog to make sure they’d get along, which was super appreciated. Quick to respond and very calm and personable. Mina enjoyed her stay and highly recommends Alexandra
Alex did a great job watching our two cats!
Alexandra was great at communicating and took such great care of my girl! Roxy looked so happy and I'd be happy to book Alexandra again anytime.
Alex took such good care of our sweet girl! ❤️

Schedule
I have a lot of flexibility in my schedule and can tailor it around the needs of the animals in my care. I do go out though, so pets need to be ok being left alone - no excessive howling, barking or scratching at the door please.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Generally I'm home every day - available for morning, mid-day and evening walks, and usually, potty breaks during the day. In your home, I'm happy to do as much or as little as you need, and though I prefer not to stay overnight, I'm available from morning until late at night to visit, feed, walk, or stay, as required.

A typical day
I’m an exercise nut myself, so I love to give dogs as much time as they need to run and play, whether off-leash or on. I’m a frequent visitor to the UBC trails and dog beaches, and also to the roads and trails at Southlands. Plenty of time to sniff, stretch their legs and just be a dog! But always under my watchful eye and responsible care. When we are at home, your pets will be allowed to roam around my place and make themselves comfortable. Feeding is done according to their normal schedules.
