Pet care experience
I've had dogs all my life of every size, color and personality. Each one has brought happiness in my life. I worked as a Veterinary Assistant part-time for almost 6 years, so I have plenty of experience with all types of dogs and cats. Additionally I worked at The Equine Reproduction Laboratory at Colorado State University, so I have lots of experiences with horses as well. I'm more than willing to help with any pet that may have special needs; I know how to administer medicine, if needed. I currently have an A.S. in Animal Science, a B.S. in Animal Science, a B.S. in Equine Science, a B.S. in Zoology, and I'm working on my M.S. in Biomedical Sciences at Iowa State University. My schedule changes every semester, so if you have any questions about my school schedule let me know! Early mornings and/or late nights work just fine with my schedule. I also know how to care for other animals you may have as well such as, cats, fish, birds, rodents, livestock, and horses. I'm observant, caring, outgoing and, have a high work ethic. I want to provide the best care possible for your beloved pets.
Reviews
Alexandra took really great care of my two cats during my weekend trip. Would book again.
Alexandra did a great job taking care of our two cats, twice a day, for two weeks! so grateful for her availability over the holidays, thorough updates, and patience with Reilly’s need for attention and Jonesy’s twice-daily inhaler.
Alex was fantastic with our cats and rats! She’s dependable, honest, and caring. She also writes very detailed visit summaries and takes clear pictures of all the pets so we know they’re doing well. 10/10 would book again
Alexandra was very responsive and attentive to our needs.

Safety, trust & environment
I always walk your dogs on leashes to ensure their safety on their walks/potty breaks when they need to go outside if a fenced yard is not available. When fences are available I watch them to ensure their safety. I am also very cautious around doors so there are no escapees.
Information Alexandra W. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if any special needs care is needed for your animals, let me know of their typical behaviors, and let me know about anything else you would like me to keep a eye on or take note of.
A typical day
Depending on what the owner wants, I can take the dogs for long walks, take them to a lake or dog park, play fetch or tug-of-war, help with any training or even just being a couch potato.
