Pet care experience

I love the responsibility and satisfaction of caring for another life. Dogs are so full of love and need, and I feel such a strong connection when I’m around them. I love discovering their different personalities, and it's such a treat to be able to spend my time getting to know them. I love giving my son, Alexander, the chance to be around different animals as well! He loves dogs — all breeds — and just lights up when he gets to meet a new pet friend. He's incredibly gentle with animals. I think it's special to grow up around animals, and I want to give that to him. I'm not able to get my son a dog just yet, but I love having him around animals, and he LOVES it, so these experiences are very important and precious to us. He is learning so much from caring for animals, and he is so naturally gentle and sweet that we make pet friends very easily. I, personally, grew up around a lot of pets. I had dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, and birds. I started caring for animals by pet sitting for multiple families, which made me realize how much I need animals in my life. So I went full-time into the pet sitting business, and it’s so rewarding. Alexander says the three words he would use to describe himself are, "I am an explorer, I'm friendly, and I love dogs!" I would describe Alexander as gentle, curious, and hilarious. I would describe myself as compassionate, nurturing, and an explorer. With a pup nearby, we’re an even happier bunch! My son and I have taken many horseback riding lessons, and learned all about caring for them as well as riding them. Alexander also has two fish named Link and Zelda. We have cared for all kinds of pups from a Bichonpoo to Rottweiliers and Boxers. We love snuggling and playing with animals, and we’d be glad to care for just about any kind. We are committed to providing the best service to our clients and pups. We are truly at that dog's service, and treat that responsibility very seriously. We get down and love on our pets, talk to them a lot, and even make up voices for them! We love observing them and learning what makes them happy and interested. We always stay in direct contact with human clients. They get many photos and updates, and they know we do everything they ask of us AND MORE.

Alexandria did great with my 3 dogs! She sent pictures and updates every day, and I came home to a clean house and happy dogs!

Alexandria was amazing! She is super nice and friendly. I have used her twice, one for the weekend and then for the Thanksgiving week. She took very good care of my two cats. She came to meet my cats prior to her drop-in visits. She sent daily updates and pictures and was very prompt with text replies. I didn't worry once about her taking care of my babies. I would highly recommend Alexandria, she's absolutely wonderful!

Alexandria house sat for our two senior dogs during a recent trip. She communicated regularly and sent pictures - which we love! The pups were happy and so were we. Will hire her again!

Information Alexandria C. would like to know about your pet

I think it's very important to know how to read body language with dogs. Are they super energetic and excited? Are they feeling more hesitant and shy? I believe in approaching them respectfully according to their personalities and moods. Meeting them with an open heart and letting them come to you is important. Treats (if allowed) are pretty special too!

A typical day

Of course, our schedule would first and foremost reflect the desires of the owner/client. My son and I love walks and playing fetch most of all. I also make a point to spend extra cuddle time with your pup throughout the day! My son and I hold extensive conversations with dogs, so they'll never feel left out or ignored :) Meals will ALWAYS be on time. There's nothing worse than being fed late — trust me, I know. We love taking dogs on walks, exploring the parks of Portland, and dog parks. Alexander really loves the dog parks the most. If your dog doesn't like being around other dogs, we can enjoy a pleasant stroll down a quiet nature trail or neighborhood. If your dog likes more excitement, we’ll gladly walk the pedestrian walkways of PSU and splash in the fountains! We also love movies, video games, and books and would love a cuddle partner for these activities! Alexander says, "I love cuddles! I love when dogs sit next to me. I love playing with dogs. I want to meet all of them."
