Reliable Pet Care 🐾
Pet care experience
Hello there! I've had the pleasure of growing up surrounded by dogs of all breeds throughout my entire life. From puppyhood to senior years, I've been there every step of the way, even during emergency situations. I've done it all, whether it's bathing, grooming, walking, or training, all within the comfort of my own home. I have a beloved companion named Nellie who's as curious as can be, has some herding instincts, and absolutely adores playing with other dogs, often indulging in games of chase and collecting sticks during our walks. My previous job at a dog daycare was an absolute dream. I not only ensured they had their meals and medication as per their owners' instructions but also cleaned up after them and showered them with affection. Additionally, I had the incredible privilege of volunteering at SafeHaven, a humane society in Albany, OR. There, I took dogs on refreshing walks and provided them with the love and attention they deserved as they eagerly awaited their forever homes. It was truly one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. I'm well-versed in house sitting and have provided this service countless times for both family members and friends of the family. I've had the pleasure of caring for dogs of all sizes, ranging from gentle giants like Great Danes to tiny bundles of energy like Chihuahuas! Meeting new dogs brings me immense joy, and I would be honored to care for and shower affection upon your cherished furry companion!
Reviews
Alexandria is so amazing with my two crazy pups! She is super dependable and I can tell my pups love spending time with her!!
Alexandria a fantastic! I needed a sitter last minute and she was available and flexible. She took time to listen and learn about my dog to ensure great care, and went the extra mile by indulging his favorite activity: people/pup watching in the park. Will definitely use her again!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I do not have a yard, but in my home, I provide a comfortable and pet-friendly environment for your furry friend. I ensure they have their own designated space, whether it's a cozy corner or a separate room, where they can feel safe and relaxed. I maintain a clean and hazard-free living area, removing any potential dangers or toxic substances from their reach. Daily exercise and playtime are essential, and I tailor these activities to your pet's energy level and preferences. If I'm caring for your pet in your home, I strive to maintain their routine as closely as possible. This includes following their regular feeding schedule, exercise routine, and any specific instructions you provide. I'll also keep your home clean and tidy, ensuring your pet is safe and comfortable during your absence. You can expect open communication, with updates and check-ins as often as you prefer.
Information Alexandria W. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know anything important or helpful about your doggo, so I can ensure your pup gets the best, most well-informed care needed! Anything about mental/personality behaviors, to physical ailments.
A typical day
I love engaging with dogs in a variety of fun activities to keep them happy and entertained. These activities include going on scenic walks to local parks or nature trails or around the neighborhood, which not only provide exercise but also mental stimulation as they explore new scents and sights. I often bring along their favorite toys or a stimulating treat toy to make the walk even more enjoyable. Back at home, I like to put on shows or play calming music that they might enjoy, creating a relaxing and enjoyable atmosphere. Playing with toys is a must, whether it's a game of fetch, tug-of-war, or interactive puzzle toys to challenge their minds. Additionally, I understand that every dog has their own personality and preferences, so I adapt my activities to suit their individual needs. Some dogs may love an active playtime session, while others may prefer to relax and take it easy with some gentle petting and cuddles.
