Highlights
Pet care experience
always an animal lover
My childhood cat Daisy, is as important to me as a family member. She is the perfect cat and I would not be the person I am today without her and that has left me with a deep love for cats, and by extension all pets. She is a whopping 15 years old as of now, was born in 2011 and adopted 2012, and is still VERY healthy and happy to this day. Before her, there was Max the Maine Coon who lived to 15. From birth I have had cats in the house, and adored them. I have taken part in their care more seriously beginning at age 8-10 when we adopted Daisy and took care of her in my room as she adjusted as a young kitten. 7 years later we found a fluffy orange kitten on a local walk. After nobody claimed him, we took him in. He grew up to be a hefty, incredibly fluffy ball of personality. He is now 8 and as energetic and healthy as ever. Needless to say, I love cats and am very familiar with their behavior and care. All the cats me and my family have owned have lived and continue to live exceptionally long, fruitful, and healthy lives. Additionally, When I was a preteen I loved participating in all sorts of summer actiities, but by fam my favorite was a semi-local summer camp at Animal Adventures, a rescue for all types of animals that hosted opportunities for young people to clean, feed, pet, and otherwie enjoy the company of exotic and native animals such as the capybara, a boa python, and even alligators. It was a foundational experience to fuel my love for animals and their care well into adulthood, a fascination that has never left me.

Qualifications

Safety, trust & environment
For house sitting, I can be flexible and attentive! Depending on the needs, I can (and likely will) spend nearly all the time with your pet. If your pet is shy, I will try to stay within a comfortable distance while keeping track of their well-being, and energetic and social pets will get plenty of love and attention. I care very much about their routines and health and will follow any instructions given, as I am used to an important schedule regarding my own cats’ health.
Ratings and reviews
Although Alexandra did not have a track record with Rover, after meeting her, we felt comfortable leaving her responsible for our house and pets while we were out of the country for a week. She kept regular contact with us while we were away. When we returned our house was in order and our animals cared for. Our dog Margo had clearly connected with Alexandra. We recommend her, and have asked her to take care of our home and animals next month when we are away again.
Quick response and good with our dog
Very flexible and reliable!!!! Alexandra provided amazing care to our rat pack of 7 and we will be booking in the future ❤️
Alexandra took wonderful care of our cats for 3 days. Her love of animals is so apparent. Both cats loved hanging out with her, even our sometimes surly cat Mr. Mox. She stayed for longer than the 40 minutes, playing with them and making sure everything was clean and that they were set for the rest of the day. The pictures she sent proved how happy and relaxed the cats were with her We will definitely rebook the next time we need help!
Alexandra was great! She responded quickly for availability and kept me updated frequently. Zeus loved her as well and he can be tricky sometimes! I would definitely book a walk with her again.

Schedule
My own personal routine for my pet care is simple and effective. I am very flexible when it comes to my availability and am more than open to many following all kinds of particular schedules for your pet’s needs. My daily care for my own pets is as follows: my father and I split the care of the cats when we are both home, but there has been many a time where I am alone for extended periods and in charge of their total care for a week or more. Their litter is scooped at least twice a day, once at noon. They are fed three to four times a day, in the morning, early afternoon, early evening, and night. They split a can of wet food between them for each meal. If we are gone for more the majority of the day, dry food is left out. Daisy has a topical medication applied on the inside of her ear, once at breakfast while she eats and once at night. Left ear in the morning, right at night. Gently holding her scruff while she eats and standing behind her while I apply the medicine makes the process quick and stress free for both of us!
