Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced Animal Lover
Hi, I’m Alex! I’ve done informal pet care for friends and family for about 15 years - if anyone goes out of town, they call me first! Since losing my childhood cat & dog, I’ve struggled to get another pet, but I have so much love to give 💗 I’ve taken care of cats from kitten stage to geriatric palliative care, as well as dogs of all shapes and sizes. Guaranteed to take cute pet photos!

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I think animals thrive more while remaining in their own environment, so I prefer drop in visits or house sitting over stays in my home. I’ve done up to a 2 week stay with a pet while their owner was abroad. I do have the space for smaller animals within my condo for animals who don’t mind being uprooted!
Ratings and reviews
Alex was so loving and attentive to our dog when she housesat for the weekend. She sent us daily updates and pictures which was very much appreciated! She also left our home spotless. We would happily book Alex again! Thank you! :-)

The situation was that my then girlfriend, now fiancee, and i were heading to san antonio and needed a dog sitter for our first time away from our husky puppy. We sought the help of Alex to help watch him while we were away. When we came back out pup was happy and in fact cleaner than when we left him since Alex took it upon herself to clean him up a bit before we got home. Alex is amazing and i hope rover highly considers her to help care for animals who need it.
I highly recommend Alexandria for any pet care position. She has stayed in our home several times and has always taken exceptional care of our two dachshunds. It’s clear how much she genuinely loves animals, and our dogs absolutely adore her. Alexandria is incredibly responsible, trustworthy, and attentive. She keeps us updated, follows care instructions perfectly, and treats our home with respect. We always feel completely at ease knowing our pets are in her care. Anyone would be lucky to have Alexandria looking after their pets — she goes above and beyond every time.
What can someone say about Alex? That love of animals has been a core value her entire life? That she takes care of her companion animals like they're her children? That she understands them on a deeply emotional, even spiritual level, and they respond to her? That I am inexpressibly grateful for her expert care of my pets, of all kinds, many many times over? Yes. All of this, yes. And it's still not enough to capture how big her heart is, and how sharp her intellect. Alex is steady in an emergency, decisive when she has to be, reliable as gravity. I would trust her with the life of anyone I care about. If you're lucky, she'll take you on as a client. If you're truly blessed, she'll call you her friend. The world needs more people like Alex.
Alex has helped care for my dog, Button, on several occasions. She’s always remembered his temperament and medications, and he’s always been excited to see her. She is a thorough caretaker and is very considerate of the animals, their people, environments, needs, and instructions for care. She is a very genuine and trustworthy person who goes above and beyond!
Alex has taken care of my cat, Fucci, multiple times, and I trust her 100%. She genuinely loves animals, and it’s something you immediately notice when talking to her. You can tell she truly enjoys being around pets and caring for them. Fucci can be very mischievous,she gets into everything, chews on things, and leaves fur everywhere, but Alex has never once complained. She handles it all with patience and care, which really says a lot about her dedication and reliability. I always feel completely at ease knowing Fucci is in such good hands. I highly recommend Alex to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter.

I am a full time program manager in the tech industry with very flexible hours. I can adjust my schedule to accommodate walks or drop ins. My service area is wide due to a long commute, so I’m able to cover most clients in the East Bay!
