Patient loving pet sitter/drops ins

Pet care experience

I currently have two dogs of my own an American Bulldog and Jack Russell. My family has horses. I have worked and taken care of other animals including cats, farm animals, and exotic animals. I am used to working with a variety of breeds and sizes. My American bull dog has prepared me for taking care of even the most reactive dogs. I am a very cautious walker when doing dog walks and drop ins for exercise and play. I have worked in equine management for about 10 years and I have taken college courses for equine/farm management. I am comfortable with barn animals as well if need be. I have also taken care of exotic animals as well. I always make sure the owner provides me with with a list of the daily run down of routines and we go over goals during the pet care visit that we want to accomplish. I also do light cleaning if needed(vacuuming, wiping counters down if used, getting mail) Between my role of behavioral services and educational background I have an understanding of functions of behaviorism both with humans and the animal world. Often the techniques intertwine in both human and animal world.

Luna is still learning to walk on leash so we appreciate Alexandria’s patience! Luna can be difficult to walk but Alexandria still gives her a good long walk.😊

Allie did an amazing job looking after our 3 cats; Kimchi, Miso, and Bento! Kimchi suddenly needed medicine right before our trip and Allie had no issues giving him his pills. The daily pictures were awesome and she even took Kimchi out for walks on his harness, which was totally unexpected but he loved! Great job looking after our cats. We would absolutely book again and recommend to others

N/A cannot provide this service at this time due to my American Bull Dog not sociable with other dogs. Do not have a fenced in yard as well.

Information Alexandria T. would like to know about your pet

Let me know what your daily schedule is like for your dogs as I like to mimic and get as close to the families routine as possible. This helps transition. I would also like to know your dogs disposition towards other people and dogs as well. And any environmental factors that might shape their behavior. (Google Doc: in the works to be filled out for new and current clients)

A typical day

I try to engage the dog by getting to know their likes and interests and using that highly preferred item or task as a reinforcer. I also like to stimulate the dogs by making the games or activity a teachable moment. Going for a controlled walk by engaging the dog and keeping their focus on me as we walk safely and appropriately. For games I like to use different object to fetch and search to stimulate their minds while providing some exercise.

Availability

I’m currently working in educational data and informatics. Monday-Wednesday I have less availability . Thursdays and Fridays I work remote so my schedule is more flexible. At this time I’m not taking on any new clients for house sitting unless a spot opens up. But I am available and will continue to take new clients for drop ins and walks. My drop ins include active play time with your dog and a few minutes of clean up and checks to make sure things are back in order. ***At this time if your pet needs constant care or care where they need to be tended 5 hours or less I would not be the best fit. As I have animals and children of my own and other obligations I would need to tend to.*** **for cat drop ins I do require at least 1 visit per day. This ensures the safety of the animals and the safety of your home as well*** I have taken my own children on drop ins when the owner has asked for companionship that suited their animals needs. As stated above my drop in rates include active play/engagement time. With additional charges depending on the need of the dog.
