Highlights
Pet care experience
foster mom turned sitter
As a lifelong dog lover, I've taken care of dogs of all shapes and sizes. Since I’m comfortable with adult dogs and seniors, I'm familiar with tricks to give meds and I'm careful with each dog's mobility or medical needs. I believe that patience and consistency is the key to handling any dog, whether they’re adjusting to a new environment, going on walks, or learning new tricks. Recently I’ve gone from dog mom to cat mom! For years, I fostered cats! I usually worked with adult cats who were on the shyer side to help socialize them for their forever homes. Beside behavioral fosters, I have also cared for medical foster cats with health concerns, mobility issues, and physical disabilities.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Each pet has a different personality and I like to go at their pace. I care for pets how I would treat my own pet. I'm very familiar with getting to know a new animal considering I've fostered frequently. I've pet sat for family & friends. I can adjust my care to what your pet needs. Whenever I go into someone's home, I am respectful and clean. I have accepted home visits ranging from a week to two months. Each time, I make sure to leave the house as clean as possible. My priorities are your pet's safety, comfort, and I'll assess situations through walks or play.
Ratings and reviews
Alexandria is lovely and a cat expert! We have cats that are still being introduced and being kept separate. Both have specific needs like our older cat needing medicine and our younger being a crazy energizer bunny and she managed both perfectly. We are so glad she was there to care for our cats while we were away!
Alexandria was amazing taking care of our two kitties and very anxious pup for the weekend. She was very accommodating and gentle with the pup and followed all the directions I gave her and then some! She even stayed a bit longer to give our pup dinner when we were held up on the way home from our trip. You can tell she is very experienced and good at dealing with animals with all sorts of temperaments, from anxious to outgoing. Would definitely recommend her services!
Took great care of the kitties!!!!
Couldn't be better. So communicative and loving of our pups. A really great, reliable person. Highly recommend.
Alexandria did a great job looking after our kitties for the weekend. Definitely recommend if you are looking for a caring and attentive sitter!
Alexandria was absolutely amazing. I would recommend her a thousand times over. Alexandria watched my two dogs (one senior and one 1.5 years) for about 5 days. She was very commutive and responsive with all correspondence, including picture updates. The younger dog was recently adopted so Alexandria had to keep up with his ongoing training and high energy. She made my trip stress free.

Schedule
Monday through Friday, I work from home. For walks & drop in visits, I like to go early in the morning before work. For afternoon visits, I prefer to stay close around Washington Heights. Since I work remotely, I can spend time with your pet all week for house sitting. On weekends, I have more flexibility.
