Fur babies are my Life!

Pet care experience

I love dog sitting, and I've ALWAYS been around dogs! I am an all-around animal lover, although dogs are my favorite. I'm very connected to my inner child and have always been the one who takes the family dog out for walks, a run, and/or to play. Playing with them is definitely my favorite part. I now have my own home, living with my partner Raine and our fur baby Kya! So I can take on boarding! I've pet sat for family friends, neighbors, and clients since I was a teenager. I'm always excited to meet some new furry faces! I am pretty flexible when it comes to availability, however, I do work part time as an IA in a special needs preschool classroom (Tues-Fri, 8:45-3:15). Being part time allows me to spend more time with your pet(s)! This is nice especially if you have cuddler(s)! I will care for and cuddle you're furry babies as if they were my own! I have no worries about certain breeds or sizes; I've watched pets under 10lbs and some over 100 lbs. I love Pits and watch a Rottweiler pretty frequently. Our dog, Kya, is a "pocket-sized German Shepherd" she is only 32 lbs, as she is a mix that we rescued! She is very excitable, and loves other dogs (all sizes and puppies too)! She is very vocal, as Shepards are, so your dog must be okay with a playful, noisy friend. She regularly goes to daycare to see her friends and has a lot of experience around other dogs! She has all her vaccines, including her flu vaccine!

Alexandria was our Christmas miracle -- she saved the day. She's super polite, friendly and professional, and we are grateful. She took good care of our dog.

Alexandria is amazing! She is my go-to sitter! She’s fast at replying and flexible with dates and time. She’s very respectful of my home and my dogs love her! She leave the house cleaner than when she found it. She also fulfills all my needs and sends lots of pictures of my pups!

This was the first time I had someone stay at our house overnight to watch our 8 month old puppy, Latte. Alexandria was wonderful! She is very sweet and Latte took to her right away. To get used to each other before the trip, I had Alexandria take Latte to puppy training class and had her do a house visit while we were gone all day. Alexandria was responsive when I texted her when on vacation and sent me daily photos of Latte. We came home 12 days later to a happy healthy pup and a clean house! Before she left, she even threw in a couple loads of sheets and towels she used in the laundry. I absolutely recommend Alexandria and would have her house/dog sit for us again!

Alexandria watched Moxie, our 11 month old Shiba Inu, for 2 1/2 weeks in our home. She kept our high energy pup entertained and took her for daily walks. She also provided pictures to keep us informed of their adventures together. When we returned from our late night flight, we found Moxie happy and healthy, and our house clean and organized! I would highly recommend Alexandria to anyone needing pet/house sitting services! All of us, including Moxie, are looking forward to next time!

Unfortunately our yard is not yet fenced, but I can easily take your pup out to potty on leash (which is what we do with our dog currently.) I can easily crate you pup if that is your routine or if you're booking during my work hours.

Information Alexandria F. would like to know about your pet

I am flexible with special needs or behaviors, all I ask is that you disclose ahead of time so I can prepare and accommodate appropriately. I also went through training with our pup in an intensive training camp, which was more about training the owners! Because of this, I know A LOT about dog behavior!

A typical day

I am flexible to the needs of your specific pup. If your pup is a lap dog, I'm a cuddler! If you pup needs lots of attention and playtime, my pup and I have LOTS of energy to keep them entertained! I live near a park (fenced) if you pup likes to play fetch and I have a nice loop through my neighborhood that I like to walk regularly! If your are comfortable with it, I also love taking dogs on drives with the windows down so they can have a great time in the wind and getting out sniffs. I do have couple extra doggie seat belts that attach to your pup's harness, because safety isn't just for us humans!

I'm currently working part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to play and cuddle you up! I'm available for boarding Friday-Monday (when I don't work so your puppers won't be alone)! I can board during the week, however, your pup would be in the house alone for about 5 hrs. So it would depend on your comfortably with that schedule and your dog's potty schedule!
