I work hybrid online and in person - selling art, teaching dance, and doing AI training. It's easy for me to make sure your pets are taken care of on the schedule that works best for them, as I have flexible hours. I always make sure your pets get plenty of attention, meals on time, playtime, and any needed walks. Your pets will have consistent, loving care throughout the day.

Information Alexandra V. would like to know about your pet

I’m comfortable caring for many different breeds and personalities, including senior pets, special-needs pets, and animals who take medication. To make sure I’m the right fit for your pet, it’s important for me to know their personality, daily routine, energy level, and any special needs before confirming a booking. Please share anything that helps me understand how to best support your pet — including behavior quirks, triggers, medical needs, or anything that makes them feel safe and happy. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can provide calm, attentive care.

A typical day

A typical day with me is active, enriching, and tailored to your pet’s energy level. We might start with a trip to a local park for a walk or a run, followed by some playtime or fetch to burn off energy. If your dog enjoys water, we can spend time swimming in your pool for a low-impact workout. I also love incorporating gentle dog-friendly stretching (yoga for dogs!) to help them relax, and yes — I even dance with dogs who enjoy movement and music. Throughout the day, your pet gets plenty of companionship, affection, and fun activities that keep them happy, stimulated, and relaxed.

Trusted Pet & Home Care

Pet care experience

Loving, Experienced Pet & Home Sitter Animals have always been a central part of my life. I grew up caring for all kinds of pets — dogs, cats, rabbits, chickens, hamsters, fish, reptiles, and even a pet lobster! I bring that same lifelong love and calm, nurturing energy into every sit. In addition to doing local Rover sits, I have also done house sits on Trusted House Sitters platform across the US, Canada, and Europe. I’m known for creating a peaceful, reassuring environment for pets and keeping homes well-cared for during longer stays. Experience includes: • Dogs of all sizes (including shy, senior, or high-attention pups) • Cats (kittens to seniors) • Rabbits & small animals • Chickens • Horses & farm-style properties • Long-term house sits • Daily updates, photos, and responsive communication I’m open to long-term, reliable house and pet sits. My priority is always your pet’s well-being — making sure they feel safe, relaxed, and genuinely cared for while you’re away. I would be honored to support your home and your animals with warmth, responsibility, and professionalism. Looking forward to meeting you and your pets! Alexandra

Alexandra was great! We made this booking with little time to spare, but she made time to come meet our shy dog and know all the ins and outs before her stay. She was very communicative, followed care instructions perfectly with our dog who is healing from surgery, and left the house in great condition.

Alexandra was able to accommodate a last minute request! I also really appreciated her flexibility to work around my crazy schedule as well. Most of all, my babies looked relaxed and happy around her.
