Your Cat's New Favorite Aunt

Pet care experience

🙌 Reliable Communication 😍 Attentive and Loving 🏳️‍🌈 LGBTQIA2s+ Friendly I'm Xand (Alexandria) and I know the stress of picking a catsitter can be awful! I'm here to change that with 20 years of experience. 🎉 I'll spoil your cat the way only their favorite Aunt can! I started catsitting to offer cat owners peace of mind while they're away. Unlike many sitters, I specialize in cats ONLY and understand their behaviors. 😸 When I foster-failed our cat, she was terrified of people. I had to understand how to make her feel safe. I use those same techniques to help my cat clients come out of their shells! ✨ I spend the time to understand exactly what you need for your cat and to learn how your cat likes to be loved. I send high-quality pictures and full description after every visit so you know how your cat is doing. NOTE: I have been a pet parent to many senior cats who had conditions including cancer, heart murmurs, GI issues, and arthritis. I'm not scared of potty accidents, throw-up, medical issues, or complicated instructions. Here is how a typical day looks: 💌 Grab Mail and Packages 🚪 Carefully Enter House 😻 Cuddles and Playtime 🥣 Food, Meds, and Water 🚮 Litter and Water Plants 😿 Say Goodbye and More Pets 🔒 Carefully Leave and Lock Up Get $20 off your first sitting for new Rover users with Promo Code: ALEXAG81029

Xand was amazing with my kitties! They absolutely loved her from the beginning which is not common for them. I appreciate all the attention to detail and felt very confident leaving my babies in her care. Thank you!

Was delighted Xand was available again to watch our two boys! We feel great knowing they are in good hands, as they are instantly comfortable and at happy. Xand continues to do an amazing job with attraction to detail, both with remembering things I'd forgotten to note since last time we booked, as well as what toys and types of play our cats like best. I look forward to the peace of mind during future trips knowing these two fuzzballs are under Xand's care.

Alexandria truly cares for my cats as if they were her own. I always look forward to the daily updates and photos, and she handles health & behavior issues with my fur babies with grace and expertise. Would not hesitate for a moment to recommend Alexandria to anyone looking for top quality pet care.

🚪 In entering your home, I always open the door just wide enough to prevent escapes for those that like to door dash! Once I'm in, I like to softly announce that I'm in the home so that the cat isn't startled. I also remove my shoes (always wearing clean socks) to respect your home!

Information Alexandria G. would like to know about your pet

I have a full checklist of things that I go through with you in 15 minutes during our meet and greet to make sure I'm taking care of your pet exactly the way you need! The questions include everything from favorite toys to health conditions to house care so you don't have to worry while you are away.

A typical day

When you choose me as your petsitter, I've got you covered with all the essentials! First off, I'll make sure to grab your mail and any packages that come your way. Then, I'll carefully enter your house, treating it as if it were my own. Once inside, there are some serious cuddles and playtime! I'll shower your precious baby with love and attention. When it's time to refuel, I'll make sure to serve up their favorite meals, administer any necessary medications, and keep their water bowl filled to the brim. Of course, I'll take care of the not-so-fun stuff too. And I'll even water your plants while I'm at it. When it's time to say goodbye, I'll give your fur baby extra pets and affection before I carefully leave and lock up. With me as your sitter, you can relax knowing they are in good hands.
