Senior Pet Sitting with Love

Pet care experience

I'm a 37 year old environmental scientist, working from home to advocate for climate protections across the United States. My husband is a realtor, and we both love dogs. I've had dogs since I was a kid, and grew up with a Laborador, a Norwegian Elkhound, a variety of adopted mutts, and a Catahoula Leopard Hound. Now we're dog parents to an adorable elderly Shiba Inu named Boh and two COVID adoptees, a pair of Miniature Schnauzers named Russell and Schuyler. I'm also an experienced catsitter (you can find my history on the rival site Pawshake, as we used to live in the UK), and I've also worked or lived with horses, parrots, turtles, hamsters and fish.

Alexandra is amazing. My dog Alby has stayed with them multiple times, and he always has a great time!

Alexandra provided her services to take care of my pet, Miso, for a significant amount of time while I had to travel extensively. My little fur baby could not have been happier under Alexandra's care. When I came back to take Miso home, she was content, calm, and in perfect health. Alexandra made sure to keep me up to date on Miso's condition and I never once worried about Miso while Alexandra was looking after her. I highly recommend Alexandra for your dog.

Information Alexandra S. would like to know about your pet

I'd love to know if there's any history of trouble with kids, dogs or cats, or an aversion to walking on a leash. Also any serious medical history that could impact your dog's behavior or well-being.

A typical day

We live in lovely Kendall Ridge, and there are some nice walking trails very close to us, as well as a little neighborhood loop that goes by our mini-park -- any doggy staying with us can expect to visit these 2x daily at minimum. We also have a well-fenced yard with a nice grassy area facing a quiet street for frequent potty breaks and running-around time!
