Pet care experience

Care you can count on 🐾 ♥️

I have experience taking care of dogs of all different kinds from a young age! I have a strong love and appreciation for all dogs and their unconditional love. I was an elementary school teacher for 8 years so patience, organization and an intense sense of care are my strongest skills.

Doggy Day Care • Sep 22, 2026

Alexandra was great! She took great care of our 1 year old border collie and took some of the cutest pictures. We definitely recommend using her services and will for sure be asking her to watch Beckham again

Alex is wonderful! She’s a great communicator and very reliable. She genuinely appreciates my very goofy and energetic pup. I can’t give her a better recommendation.

Alexandra was AMAZING! If I could rate the stay 6/5 I would! Lola was able to spend time with Alexandra for two days straight and Lola had such a great time! Alexandra made sure my puppy was following the same schedule/routine that she would at home. Alexandra even provided updates, photos AND a present for Lola! I will be booking over and over! Thank you so much Alexandra!

Alexandra is truly one of the very few people I would trust completely with my dog. She is a dog lover through and through, having grown up with dogs and personally cared for two of her own from puppyhood. Her experience is evident in the way she understands dogs and makes them feel safe and loved. Dogs seem to immediately gravitate toward Alexandra, which says so much about the kind of person she is. She approaches every dog with incredible affection—and is always more than happy to accept plenty of kisses and snuggles along the way! Beyond her natural connection with dogs, Alexandra has built an impressive career in education, which speaks to her responsibility, attentiveness, patience, and genuine dedication to caring for others. She is thoughtful, dependable, and incredibly trustworthy. I would have complete peace of mind leaving my dog in her care, knowing they would be treated as if they were her own. Any pet would be incredibly lucky to have Alexandra looking after them!

Schedule

I am currently in the process of finding a new remote job and am home during the week and most weekends! I love to walk and having a buddy to come with me would make my day. My hours and days are pretty flexible ♥️
