Highlights
Pet care experience
Fur-baby lover & expert treat giver
Fur mama to two kitties, besties with my roommates’ frenchie, and a proud fur auntie to many! I grew up in a family with dogs, cats, turtles, fish, birds, and reptiles, allowing me to develop a deep love for all animals. I've had various experience with house and pet sitting for friends, family, and neighbors since I was a kid. I've got plenty of experience with bathing, administering medications, trimming nails, cleaning up messes, and keeping animals enriched/entertained. I trust that you know how to care for your pets best and will follow instructions carefully, always asking clarifying questions if needed. I have a special place in my heart for those that are elderly and/or more shy/anxious that may need more time to warm up to folks. I'm honored to be considered for the care of your fur baby and look forward to meeting them. :) A little about me: I'm a 30 year old grad student pursuing an MSW at Smith College and will be graduating this summer to become a therapist. I spend my free time walking, journaling, reading, and traveling. I have two kitties who I rescued from shelters that have become my shadow - they follow me all over the home and I happily keep them entertained with lots of love, play time, and prompt meal times. With every client, I strive to be the type of sitter you'll want to rave about to your friends/family about and that your pet adores. Clients who book me to housesit for 7+ nights or 5+ walks/drop-ins get a complimentary personalized pawty favor from me!

Safety, trust & environment
I prefer in-person Meet & Greets so that we can discuss the expectations we have for each other and your pet can get familiar with me. I'll want to know your pet's history of aggression, anxiety or bad habits so that we can prepare and have the appropriate plan in action for potential incidents. Tell me everything! I like being prepared for it all. I treat all animals under my supervision with as much love & care as I treat my own.
Ratings and reviews
Lexi was great with my dog, even taking her out extra when she had an unsettled stomach. She was also great at communicating with me, sending photos and updates regularly!!!
Lexi has been a Godsend! So attentive and responsible, my kitties feel so comfortable with her. I am very pleased and grateful 🙏🏻
Alexandria has the biggest heart of anyone I have ever known; to trust her with your fur baby is to give yourself peace of mind! She is someone who will truly take the time to understand you and your pet’s needs! My dog is a difficult one with unexpected behavior that requires a lot of patience, and she has taken the time to truly get him!
Alexandria responded immediately for a very quick turnaround ask, was right on time and took great care of the pups. Thank you!
I've had Alexandria take care of my cat Cleo MANY times. I inherited Cleo when my grandmother passed away, so she is very important to me. I completely and wholly trust Alexandria to take care of my cat as if she was her own. She is attentive and knowledgeable. It's very obvious that she puts in 110% when taking care of Cleo and I'm sure she will do the same with your fur-baby! She's great at communicating and takes her responsibility very seriously. Alexandria understands how important our pets our to us and that makes me feel very safe and secure in entrusting her to take care of my (or anyone else's) pet. You won't regret choosing her!
I’ve known Alexandria for a few years, and I can confidently say she is an exceptional pet owner. Her dedication to her two cats is on par with any furry friend lover, her pets are not just animals; they are cherished family members. Alexandria goes above and beyond to ensure her cats are happy and healthy. She prioritizes their well-being by providing a balanced diet, regular veterinary check-ups, and plenty of enrichment activities. I’ve seen her create engaging play environments, filled with toys and climbing structures, that allow her cats to exercise and explore. She knows each cat's quirks and preferences, whether it's their favorite spot to sunbathe or the type of treats they love. Alexandria is always there to give them affection and care, and her patience is remarkable, especially during moments when her cats need a little extra attention. Moreover, she is proactive in addressing any issues that arise, whether it's behavioral concerns or health-related matters. Alexandria’s commitment to their welfare extends to making her home a safe and nurturing space for them. In short, Alexandria embodies what it means to be a responsible and loving pet owner. Her cats are not only well-cared for but also thrive in an environment filled with love and attention. It’s a joy to see the bond she shares with them, and I have no doubt they feel it too.
