Safety, trust & environment

I like to prioritize enrichment/play and food when I care for a pet because feeding time varies based on each animal. Play time is also important because it's their enrichment time and it is what will tire the pet the best way possible at the end of the day. Play time also allows me to bond with the pet and enjoy my time doing so. I find it be the most rewarding part of taking care of pets.

Information Alexandra S. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know their triggers outside and some behavior that they don’t like coming from a human. I would also like to know if there’s any food restriction or if the pet is allergic to anything.

A typical day

My goal is always for the dogs warm up to me so I’ll give them treats and do some commands to bond with them. I always love to trigger their zoomies it’s the most rewarding thing for me. I know they’re having fun and I’m having fun watching them run around everywhere. I always like to ask the owners what the pets preferred form of playing is so I’ll jump into that first thing.

I'm your dog's #1 fan!!

Pet care experience

I adopted my dog at 6 weeks old and he has not gotten out of the puppy phase until he was 4 years old. Throughout those years I've learned to redirect his attention onto something else using treats and words that he can understand. I handle more active/ hyper dogs well during walks and occasionally like to run with them too to burn some energy.

Alexandra was a huge help with a last minute booking. She took great care of our dog, and I know he had a blast. She provided tons of activity and kept us informed the whole time. Can’t wait to book again.
