Information Alexandra S. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for a pet, it’s important to know their daily routine, feeding schedule, portion sizes, allergies, medications, and any medical conditions. I also like to understand their temperament, fears, triggers, and how they interact with strangers, children, or other animals. Knowing their favorite toys, walking habits, bathroom schedule, and training cues helps keep things consistent. Emergency contacts, veterinarian information, and preferred local clinics are essential as well. The more details you share, the better I can provide safe, personalized, and stress-free care.

A typical day

When I watch pets, I love planning fun, engaging activities tailored to their personality and energy level. For dogs, I enjoy long neighborhood walks, trips to local parks, playing fetch, tug-of-war, and practicing basic commands with positive reinforcement. If they’re social and it’s allowed, we might visit a nearby dog park for safe playtime. For cats, I like using feather wands, laser pointers, and puzzle toys to keep them mentally stimulated. I also spend quiet time brushing them, offering treats, and giving plenty of cuddles if they enjoy affection. No matter the pet, I make sure they get lots of attention, enrichment, and love so they feel happy and comfortable while you’re away.

A pet’s best friend!

Pet care experience

I have grown up with dogs all of my life anywhere from a German Shepard to a Dachshund. I understand the importance of trusting and depending on those who care for your loved ones (because dogs are a part of the family too). I love long walks around the neighborhood and ensuring each dog is cared for specifically tailored to their needs and owners preference. Would love a dog of my own however living vicariously through my clients and supporting them in their care of their animals is the next best thing! Flexible on the weekends and mornings/evenings during the week. Caring for animals is just as much a stress reliever for me as it is for them and their owners. Can’t wait to help!

Alex has been so dependable & flexible with letting my puppy, Heidi, out! I really appreciate the photos that she always sends and feel at ease knowing that Heidi is getting amazing care while I’m gone.

Alexandra was amazing with Ruby! They were quick friends and she did such a great job keeping Ruby’s schedule in tact and sending updates everyday. She left my home just as she found it and even stripped the sheets and got the mail. Would definitely use again!

We definitely recommend Alex - she won over our anxious dog, left the house clean, and was great with communication.

Alex is a committed, dog Mom who treats her guy as if he were her own child. Her consideration and care of all animals is a testament to her character and kindness. Not only is she deeply committed to the well-being of pets, but she her attention to detail is unparalleled. She will check and recheck notes, locks, and instructions to insure that your pet is safe and thriving.
