I am currently a Vet Assistant and I spent 5 years as an Exotic & Marine Mammal animal trainer. My unique background allows me to combine medical knowledge with expert behavioral insights. Your pet will receive individual attention tailored entirely to their unique personality, routine, and needs. Whether your dog requires high-energy enrichment or your cat prefers quiet companionship, I adapt my approach to keep them completely comfortable. What I Offer: Medical Care: Expert medication administration, including oral meds, topicals, and injections. Behavior & Routine: Strict adherence to your established training schedules and house rules. Patience & Trust: Experienced in reading animal body language to comfort anxious or shy pets. Peace of Mind: Full medical and behavioral oversight from a certified industry professional.

Alexandrea was very accommodating. It was very little notice and she was very helpful. She was very respectful and responsible and I would highly recommend her. Punctual and responsive when you need her. Thank you for your service

Alex has watched our dog Bailey numerous times. Bailey absolutely adores her. We have used other dog sitters in the past, but non are as good and reliable as Alex. We highly recommend her and will be using her again in the future.

Alexandrea is highly recommended as pet/dog sitter. She loves all pets and enjoys spending time with them. She is very compassionate and animals respond to her and get excited when she enters a room. She has a big heart and goes above and beyond to make pets feel loved. She has watched my dog and two cats several times and they hate to see her leave.

Schedule

I work full-time as a veterinary assistant from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM, which means your pet will have a highly structured routine and professional monitoring outside of those hours. Because of my medical and training background, I am strictly disciplined with scheduling to ensure your pet never misses a meal, a bathroom break, or a medication dose.

Cats

Let me know if you have any special requirements for your pets! I can prepare meals, mix supplements and administer medications, both oral and injectable. If you’re working on certain behaviors through training I can help maintain those as well!
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
