Experienced Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

I worked as a dog walker and house sitter for several years while getting my undergrad degree all had special needs of some kind. One was an elderly dogs, that needed meds, help with stairs, and frequent trips outside. I walked a disabled dog, Lena for about a year. She was not able to use her hind legs and needed help getting into wheelchair. I walked and house sat for another beautiful girl that was a rescue dog and a bit skittish. She needed a little extra love and was nervous around other dogs. Since then I have care for a variety of dogs all with their unique personalities and needs. Its very important to me that each animal is given that care that they need and deserve. I take their owners instructions very seriously in order to provide the best care possible. I have tons of experience with cats; changing litter boxes, playing with string, and brushing out knots. I cared for my elderly cat with kidney disease for 3 years, so I am very familiar with giving pills and fluids. I fostered kittens for awhile and have experience with bottle feeding and meds.

Besides the regular schedule, Alex did some extra walks this past week. Cooper enjoys her so it was a relief. Thank you 😊

Alex has a natural gift with animals. She fostered kittens from a local shelter while we lived together. She took great care of each of them giving them medications and lots of attention as they healed through their illnesses. It was impressive to see her coax shy little kittens and how quickly they warmed up to her. She must have fostered nearly a dozen (up to 2 at a time). I would trust her with any pet and cannot reccomend her enough.
