Safety, trust & environment

Building trust with your dog and cat is of utmost importance. I am approachable and it’s important for them to have their space. They are the priority. I will play with them, practice obedience or tricks with them with positive reinforcement.

Information Alexsandra S. would like to know about your pet

Please do introduce me to your dog or cat. Let me know if you dog or cat has allergies, special needs, specific or non-specific fears, neighbourhood dogs they don’t like so we can turn around and take an alternate route, if they are reactive to other dogs, bikes, etc. What is their temperament? Any place they don’t want to be touched or loved to be petted? Please leave me treats they can have and their favourite toys.

A typical day

What does your dog or cat love to do? We will do that. I can hide treats around the house, we can do tricks, play tug of war, walk to a nearby beach, brush them, play in the yard…cuddles! Please note that for housesitting the rate is for 24-hour blocks. Housesitting rates as posted are for dogs and cats that can be left alone for 4 to 6 hours. Care for animals that cannot be left alone for less is a different rate. Lower rates available for services in Shell Beach.

A Dog and Cat person who loves them

Pet care experience

I grew up with dogs and had my first cat siblings in university. I’ve grown as a person because of them and understand and appreciate their special place as family. I’ve volunteered at the local shelter, as an adoption admin at a dog rescue and shelter. I’ve taken my dog to training and agility and learned a whole bunch more training skills at the dog rescue and shelter. I am also a Jin Shin Jyutsu practitioner which my own dogs and clients have enjoyed and appreciated. It was my nightly thing with one of my dogs. I have a special bond with animals in general and deep ones with some. It’s such a blessing, a gift I appreciate.

Alexsandra is great! She went above and beyond with our Boxer, who needed eye medication applied several times per day while we were away. We highly recommend her for pet sitting services.

Alexsandra has such a sweet & calming presence and such a natural gift with animals. While we were gone during New Years Alexsandra house sat Mabel; she sent regular updates, gave her lots of cuddles and walks, and was very communicative. I would definitely book again!

Alexsandra is always a great sitter for our Boxer! We can tell that he enjoys his time with her, which gives us peace of mind while we're away.

Alexsandra is an excellent dog sitter/house guest. She keeps us updated with photos, leaves our house tidy, and takes great care of our pup. We highly recommend her!
