Home full-time - lots of attention

Pet care experience

Having grown up with animals, it's quite possible I like them even more than humans! When your pup and I spend the day together, she'll get lots of attention as I work from home. There will be frequent walks: little short work-break walks, and a long walk either along the river or at the nearby dog park. I'll throw a ball or a frisbee until your pup has had enough, and I love a good game of tug-o-war. Work has me travelling often so it's impractical for me to have a dog of my own, but when I'm in town, you'll find me with my parents' senior dog, giving her lots of loving, taking her for daily walks, and giving her both oral and injected medicine twice daily. She went blind a couple years ago, but it hasn't slowed her down one bit. Bonus: I'm a photographer, so you know you'll get some fantastic pictures of your furry friend from our time together.

Alexandra was amazing! From our very first contact, she put my mind at ease. I was a little uncertain about leaving our nervous little rescue dog, but he quickly bonded with Alexandra and I really appreciated that she sent me regular, honest updates about how things were going. She took things at his pace, but also took him on loads of fantastic adventures and I really think he had the best time with her. She also took great care of our home, managing mail etc and took every care that everything was shipshape for our return, including emailing me for info to stock the fridge! I would use Alexandra again without a shadow of a doubt: I couldn't think of a safer pair of hands for our (slightly neurotic) pup

Over many extended stays in our home, Alexandra has proved to be an excellent dogsitter. She walks (or runs) the dog regularly and reliably gives medications to her--including an insulin shot twice a day. Highly recommended!
