Pet care experience
Responsible pet care
Your pet won't just be watched, they'll be genuinely cared for. I’ve spent over 20 years caring for animals of all kinds, and that experience has taught me how to support pets with every temperament and need. Whether your pet is energetic, shy, playful, senior, or requires specialized care, I take the time to understand their routines, triggers, and comfort cues so they feel safe and secure from the moment they arrive. I’ve worked with puppies to seniors, small to large breeds, multi‑pet households, and pets needing medications or structured routines, giving me a strong foundation in reading behavior, building trust, and adjusting care to match each animal’s personality. My favorite part of pet care is building trust. Nothing makes me happier than seeing a shy, anxious, or reserved pet relax and let their personality shine. Some of the most rewarding feedback I receive is when owners tell me their pet seemed more comfortable, playful, or affectionate than usual. I pay close attention to body language, routines, and emotional cues so pets feel safe, understood, and comfortable being themselves. And when those moments happen, you'll get to see them too. I love sharing photos, videos, and updates so you can enjoy your pet's adventures while you're away! 🛡️Safety First, Always I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, and I take that responsibility seriously. My goal is to give you peace of mind by providing attentive, thoughtful care and keeping you informed every step of the way. I actively supervise pets both indoors and outdoors rather than simply being nearby. I pay close attention to body language, energy levels, routines, and any signs of stress, anxiety, excitement, or changing needs. During walks and outdoor time, I'm mindful of surroundings, unfamiliar dogs, wildlife, weather conditions, and anything that could impact your pet's safety or comfort. I also have experience introducing dogs to one another thoughtfully and at a pace that keeps everyone comfortable. By recognizing signs of curiosity, playfulness, uncertainty, stress, or overstimulation, I can adjust interactions appropriately and help create positive, safe experiences for all pets involved. I believe great pet care comes from being engaged, observant, and proactive. From the moment your pet arrives until they're safely back with you, their well-being is my top priority. 🌟Personalized Care for Every Pet & Every Owner No two pets are alike, and neither are their owners. Some families provide detailed instructions, schedules, and preferences. Others simply want peace of mind knowing their pet is in experienced hands. I genuinely enjoy both approaches. I'm naturally detail-oriented, attentive, and precautionary, so I carefully follow every instruction provided. At the same time, my years of experience allow me to confidently care for pets whose owners prefer a more relaxed approach. Whether you prefer frequent updates or occasional check-ins, detailed summaries or quick messages, I'll adapt to your communication style while providing the same level of attentive care. Your pet's care stays consistent regardless of how much or how little direction you provide.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Alexandria hung out with Caesar on short notice without needing to meet him prior, which I really appreciated because I’ve ran into people on here who are biased against pit bulls. From first interaction, I felt really at ease because she was confident it would be a smooth interaction, and I have no reason to believe it wasn’t. She sent plenty of pictures and just made me feel like Caesar was loved the entire 1.5 hours she was there with him. When I book someone to hang with Caesar, I honestly want him to not think about me during that time (and he is my shadow). I 1000% felt like she gave him the attention that had him not looking for me. I could not recommend her more.
Alexandria was amazing! She was communicative, prompt, and sent daily updates with photos and videos. She was super flexible and accommodated our last-minute request without question. We will absolutely book her again for future sitting needs!
STAR SITTER!!! Alexandria is communicative, attentive, caring, and thoughtful. She left detailed updates, photos, thoroughly followed care instructions, and was flexible overall! An outstanding option for any pet! How do I rate 10 stars? 10 out of 5 stars is my rating. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Alexandria was amazing, took great care of our Milo. Easy to communicate with and responds quickly. Can’t recommend enough!
Alexandria watched our puppy and we had zero complaints. She offered and initial visit to make sure we were a match, and to get to know us and our dog before booking. She was very professional about all her questions and listened thoroughly to our pups routine and schedule. She kept us updated with pictures and was very flexible with us. I appreciated her very much and will rebook when needed.
Thanks for being so kind and attentive to George. I will definitely be comfortable using you again.

Schedule
Pet care fits naturally into my schedule, allowing me to provide reliable, consistent attention throughout the week. Monday-Thursday: I work 8 AM-4 PM just minutes from home, so I can stop by during lunch for potty breaks, walks, check-ins, and extra attention when needed. Fridays: I work remotely, which gives me even more flexibility for walks, playtime, enrichment, and companionship throughout the day. Weekends: My schedule is open, making it easy to accommodate overnight stays, extended visits, and last-minute bookings. Because my routine is consistent, pets settle in quickly and receive steady, dependable care. Whether your pet enjoys activity, companionship, or simply a predictable routine, I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and cared for during their stay.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
🤍A Calm, Low-Stress Environment One of the things pets benefit from most in my care is that I don’t have any animals of my own. This means visiting pets receive my full attention in a calm environment without competing for space, affection, or supervision. For many dogs, especially anxious, young, senior, shy, or independent dogs, this can make a huge difference. They often settle in more quickly because the environment is quiet, predictable, and focused entirely on them. Your pet's routine becomes my routine. Whether they enjoy long walks, playtime, cuddling on the couch, frequent potty breaks, or simply relaxing nearby, I take the time to learn what helps them feel most comfortable. My building includes: • Private pet park- a safe, enclosed spot for pets to stretch out, play, and enjoy fresh air during their stay • Quiet park nearby for peaceful walks- ideal for pets who prefer gentle environments over the hustle of community dog areas • Pet wash room- perfect for muddy paws, quick rinses, and keeping pets fresh and comfortable during their stay • Elevator and stair access- every pet gets an option based on their comfort and mobility needs All designed to help pets feel comfortable, safe, and cared for. For boarding/daycare, pets who prefer space from other pets can enjoy a one‑household stay. 💛Extra Support & Attention My partner is also a lifelong experienced animal lover and often spends her days off with me. Pets naturally gravitate toward her kind, playful energy with them. She provides an extra set of eyes, hands, and attention, which can be especially helpful for puppies, active dogs, and multi-pet households. Like me, she respects your pet, routines, and home, and takes their care seriously. 🏡 House Sitting: Respectful Pet Care & Home Care When caring for your pet in your home, my goal is for you to return to a happy pet and a home that looks exactly as you left it. I come fully prepared with my own laptop, hotspot, meals, and daily essentials. I don't require Wi-Fi, snacks, streaming services, or household supplies. Most of my time is spent playing with, walking, cuddling, grooming, or simply spending quality time with your pet. I closely follow feeding schedules, household rules, training routines, and walking expectations. I also: • Bring in mail (just lmk)/take out trash • Vacuum pet hair (just lmk) • Keep food and water areas clean • Tidy up after myself • Wipe down surfaces I use • Handle pet-related cleanups • Respect all security measures and gates You'll never have surprise visitors, smoking, parties, or drinking in your home. I treat your home with the same care and respect I would expect someone to show mine. One of my strongest qualities is being a respectful house guest. Your home, routines, and pet's comfort matter to me.
A typical day
Every pet has their own personality, routine, and comfort level, so I tailor each day to fit their individual needs. For energetic dogs, that might mean longer walks, play sessions, enrichment activities, and plenty of opportunities to explore. For seniors, puppies, or pets who prefer a quieter pace, I focus on gentle walks, cozy downtime, and a calm environment where they can relax and feel secure. My goal is to make your pet's stay feel as familiar and stress-free as possible. Whether they're an early riser ready for adventure, a couch cuddler who loves companionship, a playful explorer, or a professional napper, I adjust to their rhythm rather than expecting them to adjust to mine. Throughout the day, pets receive regular potty breaks, exercise, affection, mental stimulation, and plenty of one-on-one attention. I pay close attention to their energy level, mood, and preferences so they stay comfortable, engaged, and happy. I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals and love being outdoors, so walks are never rushed. If your dog is enjoying the sights, sniffing every interesting smell, or simply taking their time, I'm happy to slow down and let them enjoy the moment. My priority is making sure every pet feels safe, understood, and right at home.🐾 At the end of the day, I want you to come home to a happy, relaxed pet who felt safe, loved, and understood while you were away.

- Here are a few simple things we’ll go over together, just so I can understand your pet’s routine and what helps them feel comfortable: • Training cues- Words or signals they know • Furniture rules- Whether they’re allowed on couches/beds at home. I’m happy to keep them off if you prefer • Food rules- Whether a little safe human food is okay or off‑limits • Noise sensitivity- Whether loud sounds bother them or they’re generally unfazed • Notable quirks- Habits, triggers, routines, or must‑knows that help me keep them comfortable • Update frequency- How often you’d like to receive updates/photos. I tailor this to whatever feels right for you I gently weave any special needs, medications, calming preferences, or routines into their day so everything feels familiar and comforting. If they have any "no-go" zones, allergies, triggers, fears, or unique habits, just let me know. Every pet communicates differently, and no behavior, quirk, or special need is ever viewed as a burden. I enjoy getting to know what makes each pet feel safe, understood, and comfortable so I can tailor their care accordingly.☺️
