Safety, trust & environment

I am currently available to drop in for your pet as well as take them on walks. I will have any material you deem required. I always have poo bags, an extra leash, treats, and toys. I will always go through some questions before meeting your pet, just so I can be better prepared and meet their needs.

Information Alexandra R. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know any information you find important prior to meeting your pet. This may include breed, weight, behaviours, triggers, preferences, physical limitations, or any specific needs. I typically request a quick meetup prior to bookings to meet your animal and go over your requests.

A typical day

I first like to great the pets and build a connection before diving into activities. Regarding activities, I love walking with dogs, it’s an easy way to get exercise and stimulation in while building a connection. I’ve walked in most weathers so I’m good to go anytime! I know that every dog has different exercise needs and I will tailor myself to those needs. If there is a closed in area, we could play fetch, tug of war, or just run around. Whatever the pup likes to do, I am up for! For cats, I find it very important to approach them slowly and cautiously so I don’t start off on a bad foot. To engage them I try to do whatever it is that they enjoy. This can include playing with toys, pets, cuddling, etc. They have such unique personalities so it’s all about stepping to their beat.

Pet care experience

I have several years of experience with dogs. Many of those years have been with large to XL breed dogs; but I have had the privilege to be with small to medium breeds too! I have experience with puppies, unspayed/unneutered dogs, and administering medication. I have experience with dogs that have behaviours and dogs that pull when on leash. I have rescues so I understand that dogs need time, patience, love, respect, and dedication. I will always cater to what an animal needs, no matter what. I cannot wait to meet your pup!

Alexandra did an amazing job! Our dogs bonded well with her as she went above and beyond getting them to trust her over the 3 day period we needed her to take them out. Our older dog normally only poops for certain people she trusts and she went for Alexandra everyday she took her out. And our new puppy who’s very shy and reserved to new people opened her shell and actually played with her! Alexandra kept us well informed every visit and took lots of pictures to show how our dogs were doing. Definitely recommend Alexandra and will be booking her again for future needs!

Alexandra has 4 pets and takes care of them all very well. She loves and cares for all of them and she notices when anything is wrong with them very fast. They all love her.

Alexandra is a very responsible, kind, caring, compassionate, and loving person. She takes a lot of pride in what she does; she is very punctual and organized. I know her personally, and she has 2 dogs and 2 cats, and she loves animals. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trusted, kind, caring, and responsible person to take care of their pets.
