Experienced & Attentive Pet Pro
Pet care experience
I’ve worked in the pet care industry for over 5 years, including as a kennel supervisor at a dog daycare and boarding facility, and at a canine country club. I’ve cared for dogs and cats of all sizes, ages, and temperaments—including high-energy breeds, senior pets, and those with behavioral or medical needs. I’m experienced in administering medications, keeping pets on consistent routines, and providing safe, attentive care whether it’s a quick drop-in or an extended stay. I’ve also provided in-home care and walks for neighbors, family friends, and repeat clients. I’m confident with multi-pet households, puppies, giant breeds, and cats with specific needs. My focus is always on safety, comfort, and communication—so you can feel at ease while you’re away.

Reviews

Alex watched our dog for a week while we were on vacation and did an excellent job. Alex kept in constant contact with us and sent daily updates and photos. I highly recommend her for any of your dog sitter needs. I will definitely use her services again in the future!

Alex is awesome, she takes really great care of Bentley and he loves her. Highly recommend, and will be using her services again


Alexandra is Amazing!! She was so good with our fur-babies!! Normally our boys are all over us when we come home, even if it is just a trip to the store. Alexandra stayed with them for the day and when we got home, they were like "Oh....you're home..." They were so content and happy! We got regular communications and wonderful pictures! Alexandra is definitely our go-to dog sitter!


Alexandra is wonderful with the dogs!! Very knowledgeable and friendly. Will definitely book her again!
About Alexandra S.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I provide care in your home, where your pets feel most comfortable and secure. I follow routines closely, give updates, and adapt to each pet’s individual needs. Whether it’s cleaning litter boxes, administering medication, or helping shy pets feel safe, I’m calm, patient, and committed to their well-being—just like I am with my own pets.
Information Alexandra S. would like to know about your pet
It’s important for me to know your pet’s routine, triggers, medical needs, and personality ahead of time so I can offer the most comfortable and personalized care possible. Please let me know: ○Feeding times and dietary restrictions ○Any medications or supplements and how they're administered ○Exercise needs and preferred activities ○How your pet does on leash (for dogs) ○Crate or free-roam preferences ○Behavior around new people, kids, or other animals ○Any past history of aggression or fear-based behaviors ○What soothes or stresses them ○Household rules (e.g., furniture access, treat limits, etc.) The more you share, the more I can make your pet feel safe and at home — even when you're away.
A typical day
I love tailoring activities to each pet's personality! For dogs, that might mean long walks, playtime in the yard or park, enrichment games like treat puzzles, or simply some good belly rubs and fetch sessions. For high-energy pups, I’m happy to engage in structured play to help burn off energy, while senior or shy pets can count on gentle care and a calm environment. For cats, I enjoy interactive toys, feather wands, and window bird-watching breaks. I also make time for plenty of affection and cuddles — only if the pet wants it, of course! My goal is to keep their routine as normal and joyful as possible while you’re away.

Availability
My schedule is flexible, and I’m available most days for pet care—including weekdays, weekends, and holidays. I work part-time with short shifts, which allows me to stop by for drop-ins, walks, or overnight stays throughout the day. I’m happy to work around your pet’s routine and am open to last-minute or extended bookings.
