Availability

Starting on 5/12/25 I’m beginning a new full time job that requires me to be in office (Coventry) M-F 8am - 4:30pm. I will update my schedule frequently to show availability once I switch to a hybrid schedule. On the days I can work from home I will I have the flexibility to be with a dog 24/7. I am an early riser and will gladly do the needful in those scary morning hours. I am a home body and don’t typically go out for long periods of time on the weekends.

Safety, trust & environment

I will ALWAYS make sure there is water for the dog and I fully understand adhering to strict eating rules and schedules. My own dog has a super sensitive stomach, so I will take all food instructions with the utmost seriousness. I’m not the spoil-my-child-rotten type, however, my dog is allowed on all furniture (outside of tick season) and is given at least 3 sessions of fetch or a walk daily. I will respect your home rules even if they differ from my own.

Information Alexandra S. would like to know about your pet

I have always gravitated towards medium to large breed dogs but still have my fair share of experience for the smaller folk. I don’t have much experience with reactive dogs. I have some experience with senior dogs. If there is something you think is worth mentioning, please do! The more info and detail, the better. I want to make sure you’re choosing the best option for your pup, even if that isn’t me.

A typical day

I am always stocked with a leash, chuck-it and most importantly a plethora of poop bags. A fun day typically starts outside with a morning walk or round of fetch. Trips to the beach are always an option. Indoor automatic fetcher and toys galore for those not-so-nice days.

I’m mutts about pups!

Pet care experience

I have 7 years of adult experience, by this I mean actual dog sitting and raising my own pup. However, since I can remember, I have always been comfortable with dogs. I was 9 when my family got our first dog (a boxer!) and since then I always found myself falling into some form of a caretaker role. Of course when you grow up and get your own dog you realize how easy you had it when it was the family dog. By raising and training my own dog, Roo, I have learned more about patience, unconditional love and responsibilities than I thought possible. In college I would dog and house sit for families here and there, usually for weekends at a time so I am comfortable being in YOUR space with your pets for more than just drop ins. Along with being a dog mom, I am a plant mom and will happily care for your plant babies too!

Alexandra was fabulous! I don't think my dog knew the difference between her and me! I felt very comfortable with her in my house and with my sweet pup. She sent lots of pictures and texts. I will definitely use her again and highly recommend her!

“Absolutely stellar experience. From start to finish, their professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine love for dogs shone through. The booking process was seamless, and I felt completely at ease leaving my furry friend in their care. The updates and photos they provided throughout my dog’s stay were not only reassuring but truly heartwarming. It’s clear that they go above and beyond to ensure every pup feels safe, loved, and entertained. I returned to a happy, well-exercised dog who clearly had a blast during their stay. I cannot recommend them highly enough for anyone seeking top-notch care for their beloved pet. They’ve earned a loyal customer for life!”

Ali is a dog lover through and through. Nothing puts a smile on her face like a happy dog, and she is both comfortable and caring around dogs of all sizes. You would be extremely lucky to have her give your best friend a walk!
