Pet care experience

Kneading Paws and Wagging Tails

One of my top specialties is last minute visits, with as little as one day's notice. Since I have 15 years of experience with cats and dogs of all ages, I find it easy to care for them and love on them like my own. I can do visits at pet friendly Chicago hotels, especially cats.I can give pets pills (in treats) and topical medications. I must do meet and greets or see video clips of dog's energy levels for all of the ones that need to be taken out for potty breaks, to ensure safety.

Safety, trust & environment

I take a proactive approach to safety and trust including doing live meet and greet trial runs with dogs to ensure I can handle their energy levels. I have pet sitter insurance. I scan the home for potential hazards and alert pet parents to any problems.

Alexandra was a great sitter for Bobby. She kept me posted and updated to all goings on during the visit, which was appreciated. Thanks to Alexandra for making this work!

We had such a great experience with Alexandra! She was wonderful with our two small dogs—so caring, attentive, and reliable. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in great hands and came home to two very happy pups. Would absolutely book again!

I cannot recommend Alexandria enough. She took incredible care of our cat Stanley while we were away. thoughtful updates, great communication, and genuine affection. We came home to a happy, relaxed cat and a spotless space. Truly an above-and-beyond sitter.

Alexandra has taken care of my pet cat, Tenny, many times. She has always been careful to make sure Tenny has everything she wants or needs. She always contacts me if Tenny seems to act differently or if something seems wrong. I would recommend Alexandra to tale care of anyone's pet.

I have known Alexandra Sipiora and her family for around forty years. I find her to be highly intelligent, probably borderline genius. Alex has a love of all animals, but is especially kind to cats, doting on a special pair called Pixie and Dixie. I would trust her with my own pets and even with certain people.
