Pet care experience

Experienced & flexible sitter

I’ve had dogs of all shapes and sizes for as long as I can remember. Our home is currently run by a sweet but lazy Beagle-Basset mix, yet I have experience with everything from pit bull puppies to senior boxers. I’m very comfortable around other pets, as well; my childhood cat, Tigger, lived to be 24! Although my mom is still convinced that we got played by a second cat at some point.

Alexandra was extremely easy to work with. She was so caring and kind to my super shy cat. I would definitely recommend her.

Alexandra did an outstanding job caring for my kitty. I was so worried about the heat, but every day she touched based to let me know the temperature in the house. It’s so comforting to have someone as professional and kind as her when I am away. Can’t recommend her enough!

This was Alexandra's second time taking care of our kitties and she always does such a great job, going above and beyond to care for our pets and home. Even our very shy kitty comes out to see her. She is reliable, kind, conscientious, and I would recommend her to anyone who needs a pet sitter.

Alex is awesome! She was very communicative and took great care of my cats while I was away for the weekend. I enjoyed getting updates and felt at peace that they were safe and sound.

No wonder she is a Star Sitter. We felt so comfortable having her watch our two dogs for over a week. She was really great in communicating and updating about how the dogs were doing. Both of our dogs are pretty anxious but they warmed up to her, it was super sweet to get notifications of how they were doing. Alexandra went above and beyond on caring for the dogs, keeping the house clean, and overall being a great sitter. We will definitely use her for our future trips, and we highly recommend her to anyone. We were looking for a new sitter, and we definitely trust her. Thank you :)

Schedule

I’m currently working freelance, so I have a lot of flexibility, particularly during the day - and I love having an excuse to get out of the house and go for a dog walk or cuddle with some cats.
