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.

Dog Walking • Jun 30, 2026

We booked Alexandra for dog walking while we were away and it’s safe to say that our little Otto loved her ! She would always take him on different routes for maximum sniffing and we loved the rover card updates with pictures. We felt completely safe leaving our dog with her and we will definitely book again :)

Doggy Day Care • Jun 17, 2026

Here's a warm and positive Rover review you can use: Alexandra was fantastic with Azstra! She took great care of her and made sure she was comfortable, happy, and well looked after throughout her stay. We had some unexpected schedule changes on our end, and Alexandra was incredibly accommodating, understanding, and flexible, which we truly appreciated. Most importantly, Azstra clearly enjoyed her time with Alexandra and came home happy and relaxed. It gave us great peace of mind knowing she was in such caring hands. We would happily book with Alexandra again and highly recommend her to other pet parents!

Alexandra took great care of our 3 cats over a weekend, providing some updates and photos along the way. She was responsive during the Rover setup process and attentive to learning our cats needs during our meet n greet/orientation. Would recommend her services to others with no reservations.

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.

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.

Pets

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.
