Availability
I’m a children’s librarian and have a bit of a weird schedule. I work one night a week and one Saturday a month. I’m a single dog mom and have the flexibility to stay with your pet or possibly have your pet stay with me. They just have to be ok with a cranky old dachshund! I can walk your dog before work (8 am) or after work (5 pm) or any time on weekends.

Safety, trust & environment
I’m very careful with people’s pets. The decisions I would make for my own dog aren’t what I will make for someone else’s. Your pet is your precious baby and I will treat them as such. I follow the rules and guidelines set out by the owner and if I’m given the green light to, your pet will be SPOILED. Car rides, couch snuggles, and outdoor adventures!
Information Alexandra R. would like to know about your pet
I would definitely require full instructions on diet and medications as well as any aggression your dog has been known to show. Dogs are complex and have their own feelings so I would like to respect that with them! If your dog will be staying with me or I will be staying with them, my senior dog will have to be present as well and I will need confirmation from you that you and your pet would be ok with it.
A typical day
I love taking my dog to the dog park but will only do so with your pet if it’s what you want. I live on a hiking trail and would take your pup for a nice long walk, a car ride, and maybe even to the lake for a swim. Your dog is a couch potato? Sounds good to me. We’ll get some cuddling in on the couch instead!

Pet care experience
Hi there! My family owned dogs my entire life. My brother and I both cared for all of our childhood dogs/pets. My grandparents raised Fidelco dogs and as I would spend my summers with them, I was always exposed to these amazing little guys. As a teenager I would spend my summers home with our two family dogs. In my early college years, I dog sat for a couple of my mom's previous work friends, sometimes for a week at a time. As an adult, I raised my parent's dog from a puppy and currently own a dog of my own. I've also owned other pets such as cats, birds, and hedgehogs. I love to cuddle and play! I have lots of love to give! I'm the crazy lady you see talking to their dog while they walk them. So if your dog is a good listener and loves cuddling, petting, and fetching, we'll be perfect mateys!

Reviews
Alexandra is just wonderful with our dog, who is always completely happy and calm when we get home! I highly recommend her! We’ve used her services before and will use her again. Thank you for such great care of our doggie!
We couldn’t be happier with Alexandra! We needed a last-minute dog sitter for the 4th of July weekend, and she was absolutely amazing with our 10-year-old German Shepherd, Gus. She came by twice a day for drop-in visits and gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. Gus can sometimes take a little time to warm up to new people, but he quickly became comfortable with Alexandra, which says a lot about her calm, caring approach. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly treated Gus like he was her own. We loved receiving updates and knowing he was getting plenty of attention and care. If you’re looking for someone trustworthy, kind, and dependable, we highly recommend Alexandra. We’ll definitely be booking with her again!
Alexandra was reliable and took great care in making sure the cats were taken care of as we discussed. She cleaned everything up nicely very communicative and again in a heartbeat! Thank you!
Alex again was amazing!!! Always going above and beyond for our pets. It makes going on vacation stress free because we know our fur babies are being well cared for. Constant updates and photos & our pets love her!
