Vet student w/ 20 years experience

Pet care experience

I am a fourth-year veterinary student, and grew up with my mother who is also a veterinarian. So, I have lots of experience in dog care! I specialized in pets that require advanced medical care. I worked in the veterinary clinic since I was 14, so I am well versed in first aid, as well as general medical care. When not at school, I love to cuddle with your pup on the couch as well as help exercise them in whatever way they love. I am also happy to take them to the dog park if they love to socialize! I live in an apartment.

Alexandra was very professional. She was on time and took great care of my cat. My cat doesn’t normally get comfortable with strangers, but Alexandra did a wonderful job approaching her.

Alexandra was fantastic. A huge help watching my dog Floyd last minute while we attended a wedding at the Mountain Lake Lodge nearby. Her location was right on the way, super convenient. Floyd was a happy boy. Thanks again Alexandra!!

Alex took wonderful care of our two puppies for the weekend. She did an amazing job! We would definitely ask her to watch them again.

Information Alexandra S. would like to know about your pet

During these times when I am at the veterinary hospital your dog will be alone, and if not crate trained they must be well-behaved (no excessive barking, chewing on furniture, house-trained, etc.)

A typical day

I do my best to match your activities with your dog. My apartment complex has a long trail for walks, a dog park, and many fields for fetch.
