I have a steady work-life balance, working Monday-Friday from 6 AM to 3 PM. Pet care fits easily into my routine, as I am available for early morning, evening, and weekend visits. On Mondays, I travel to Duluth for agility training, so I can take pet-sitting jobs in that area. I’m also willing to drive within a 100-mile radius of my home to provide care, ensuring flexibility for pet owners who need reliable and loving service.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s. I take the time to understand each pet’s needs, personality, and routine to create a stress-free and comfortable environment. I’m experienced with shy animals and work patiently to help them feel safe. In a client’s home, I respect their space while ensuring their pets receive attentive care, from feeding and playtime to maintaining a clean environment, including litter box upkeep. Whether it’s keeping a routine, providing enrichment, or offering extra care for special needs pets, I always prioritize their well-being.

Information Alexandra T. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for any pet, I like to learn about their routine, personality, and any special needs to ensure they feel comfortable and safe. It’s important for me to know their feeding schedule, favorite activities, energy level, and any medical needs, like medications or mobility issues. I also ask about behavioral traits—do they have separation anxiety, fear of storms, or specific triggers? For dogs, I like to know their walking habits and training cues. For cats, I check if they’re social or prefer their space. The more I know, the better I can tailor my care to make them feel at home!

A typical day

I love engaging pets in activities that match their energy and personality! For dogs, I offer walks, playtime, and interactive games like fetch or mental enrichment exercises. If they enjoy training, I can incorporate fun learning sessions inspired by my agility experience. For cats, I provide engaging playtime with toys, laser pointers, or feather wands, as well as calm companionship for those who prefer a cozy lap. I also enjoy caring for farm animals, ensuring they get attention and enrichment suited to their needs. Every pet is different, and I adapt my care to make sure they’re happy and entertained!

Pet care experience

My background in training dogs through agility classes, working with shy and special-needs animals, fostering cats, and managing dogs of all sizes at a daycare makes me uniquely qualified. I’ve also cared for farm animals, including geese, and I’m skilled in pet grooming. My patience, reliability, and ability to adapt to each pet’s unique personality ensure your pets are safe, loved, and well cared for.

Alex is absolutely wonderful!! Met with her twice before her 10 day stay here. We went over everything and wrote her notes for reminders. Communication was awesome! I received pictures of the critters, and we messaged 1 or 2 times a day. Asked her to keep the house as it was and it looked great plus the yard was spotless.. she even made cat toys, but the dogs seem to like them more! All around a great experience with Alex! I already have her booked in January!
