Availability
Pet cares fits intentionally into my weekly routine rather than being squeezed in. I work from home part of the week, which allows flexibility for walks, drop ins, and attentive care, and I prioritize weekends and select bookings so dogs receive my full attention.

About Alexandra V.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
Whether caring for pets in my home or in a clients home, I prioritize consistency, safety and individualized care. I follow each pets established routine closely, including feeding, walks, crating, and training preferences. I pay close attention to body language and cues, provide appropriate enrichment and exercise, and ensure pets are supervised, comfy, and happy. Clear communication and regular updates are always included when pets are under my care!
Information Alexandra V. would like to know about your pet
Before a booking, it’s helpful for me to know about your pet’s daily routine, feeding schedule, walk preferences, and any training cues they’re familiar with. Please also share information about medications, allergies, medical needs, behavioral quirks, and whether your pet is spayed or neutered. Let me know how your pet does with other dogs, new environments, or time alone so I can tailor care and ensure a safe, comfortable experience.
A typical day
A typical day usually starts with a long walk, followed by some play or light training before breakfast. If your dog has a specific routine you’d like me to follow, I’m always happy to stick to it. On my work-from-home days and weekends, dogs often get an afternoon walk and additional play or enrichment, like “find it” games where treats are hidden for them to sniff out. Evenings usually include a relaxed, sniff-focused walk, some extra one-on-one attention, dinner, and a final potty break before bedtime. When appropriate and with express permission, I also enjoy taking dogs on leashed morning hikes during quieter trail hours. All routines are tailored to each dog’s energy level, needs, and preferences.

Enrichment Focused Dog Care
Pet care experience
I take a calm, thoughtful approach to dog care and treat every dog as an individual. I try to be really attentive to body language and routines. I tailor care based on what owners share and what dogs show me. I have experience with puppies, and multi dog households. Generally, I try to reinforce existing training with positive methods, and communicate clearly with lots of updates and photos of your pup!
Reviews
Alexandra was great for our trip. Plenty of pictures and our pup loved her. Would hire again!
Alexandra was fantastic! We have booked with her twice to stay with our 10 year old dog. It was clear our dog was well loved while we were gone! She has high anxiety particularly with storms and fireworks, and Alexandra paid particular attention to this for us while we were gone over the 4th of July. She was a great communicator and very respectful. Left our home in great condition and will absolutely book with her again!
Alexandra was great! Would highly recommend and use again. She went above and beyond- sent frequent pictures and updates and even took time to teach our dogs a new trick! We appreciate her help!
Alexandra was great! She was timely with her responses and kept us updated throughout the stay. It was clear she loved on our dog as if it was her own! She was respectful and courteous, and left our home in great condition. We look forward to having Alexandra watch our dog again!
