College student who misses her dog!

Pet care experience

I'm a full-time student at Berry College. I attend classes and my on campus job during the week but I am happy to work around that schedule to find what works best for you and your dog. The campus is a beautiful place to take a dog for a walk and I am also happy to come to your home. For the last 14 or so years I have cared for my own family pet, Jazz, a Jack Russell terrier. This summer I'm currently caring for three beautiful King Charles spaniels. I walk them, feed them, and give them their medications. In the past, I have cared for my neighbors' dogs, two energetic beagles. I stayed overnight with these dogs, fed them, gave them medication, and played with them. They have extreme separation anxiety so I am used to working with dogs that get anxious or nervous when their owners are gone.

I am happy to recommend Alexandria, known to me as "Alex", as an outstanding, very caring, and extremely loving pet-sitter! What I admire most about Alex, from a Dog Mom's perspective, is that she is extremely detail oriented and she always goes the extra mile to ensure that my dogs get the absolute best care! An example of this is that one of my dogs is very picky about her food and often will stare at the dry food for quite some time, refusing to eat it. This dog is a "Senior Citizen" and more finicky than ever! Alex came up with a solution for this by softening Teagan's food with water and microwaving it to warm the food. This did the trick, and helped me to solve a problem too! Alexa also has a very soft and gentle demeanor with my dogs. This is important because my dogs are largely docile and sensitive "lap dogs". That being said, when she needs to command their attention to go outside on walks and they are unmotivated, Alex is skilled at motivating the dogs and getting them right out the door! Alex is experienced with giving medications and has helped me enormously to manage the heart conditions of my dogs by ensuring accurate and timely dosing of their heart medication. Without reservation, I highly recommend Alex. Please feel free to contact me personally with further questions. Alex is free to provide my contact information to you. Laura Angley

Alex has dog-sat for our two beagles on multiple occasions. She is incredibly responsible and a very caring individual. The dogs just love her and are always excited when she comes over. Our dogs, Snoopy and Sara, especially have had a few medical issues in the past, and we've always trusted in Alex to take care of them and any special needs they may have. She's grown up with a small dog of her own so she also has a lot of experience. She is a wonderful individual and you will not be disappointed if you entrust your dog(s) to her care.

Alexandria is the best dog sitter we have ever hired. Not only is she trust worthy and prompt, she actually cares about our dogs. I never have to worry about my dogs or my house when I'm gone. She always follows my directions and is very respectable. We have left her in charge of our dogs and our house several times for long trips. We always come home to a very clean house and very happy dogs. I highly recommend her.

Information Alexandria S. would like to know about your pet

I love all dogs. I don't have any preferences when it comes to dogs! Every dog is different and has its own personality, I'll leave it to the owner to tell me what they think I should know about their dog(s) before I come to sit.

A typical day

I'm a college student at Berry College, which is the perfect place to walk a dog! The campus is beautiful and there are lots of students who would love to stop and give your dog some love and attention. I'm an outdoorsy person so I will spend lots of play time with your dog/dogs (the more the merrier) outside.
