Experienced and Caring Pet Sitter
Pet care experience
Hello! I have over ten years of experience caring for dogs and cats for friends, family, and neighbors. I have provided house-sitting, drop-ins, and boarding services. I have experience training puppies, crating when needed, and handling aggressive/scared/skittish dogs. I love learning about each pet to ensure they are cared for in ways they are comfortable with while you are away! I have two pets of my own. A 13-year-old Aussie/Golden Retriever mix named Bruno. He is blind in one eye, loves long walks, and hanging out with other pets. Then there is Kiki, my tiny black cat, who is very friendly, playful, and surprisingly loves being in water! Thank you for taking the time to read my profile, and I hope we can connect to talk about your pet-sitting needs!

Alex took great care of our dog Bruno over the weekend. When we picked him up he was happy and healthy. We got lots of pictures of him playing, going for walks, and napping on the couch. It’s very clear that Alex is an animal lover and we will definitely be back! :)
I am so lucky to have found Alexandra, she takes wonderful care of my dog. She takes my dog for walks and runs. Makes sure the water bowl has fresh water and feeds my dog. Very trustworthy and punctual. Two BIG thumbs - this is who you want watching your furry friends when you are away.
I just wanted to take a moment to recognize how grateful I am for Alex's help. She has been a wonderful support for me in taking care of my two pets (dog and cat). I travel almost every other week for work and have had bad experiences with boarding in the past. When I first met her, she was so friendly and obviously interested in my 8-year-old lab that conversation was very natural and easy. After hiring her to pet sit for me for most of last year, I can wholeheartedly recommend her pet-care/pet-sitting services. She is punctual, professional, and displays a kindness that makes you want to be friends with her. She honors all of my requests regarding treats, distance to walk Sammie, places and animals to be wary of, how to take care of my high-needs cat, and will send pictures during her work. I can't recommend her enough.

Safety, trust & environment
For Boarding - I live in a dog-friendly apartment surrounded by parks. I do not have a yard, but have access to many great walking spots. I have a dog and a cat that are very friendly and love having new friends come to stay. For House-sitting - I have flexibility and am willing to drive for house-sitting needs. I am happy to provide not only pet sitting but can add plant care if needed! For Drop-In Walks - I am flexible and willing to drive where needed. I am happy to walk your pup at times that are most convenient for you/them. I believe safety is most important while pet-sitting, so try to find places that are nature-filled with fewer people/other animals so that we can enjoy nice, long walks with lots of places to stop and smell.
