Pet care experience

Hello, my name is Alix and my sidekick is Nika! Together, we have fostered around 60 cats/kittens/puppies/dogs and are happy to extend care through Rover! I’ve had years of working with animals from all ages, temperaments, health statuses, and needs. I look forward to meeting you and yours!💚

Ali did a really great job watching both my dog and apartment! She is very kind and responsible. I would highly recommend her for any services you may be considering!

Alixandra is the best! She took amazing care of our energetic kitten and sweet anxious dog during his least favorite weekend of the year (4th of July lol). She brought our dog on so many fun hikes and walks, left the house immaculately tidy, and kept my veggie garden alive during the heat. She sent great picture/video updates and even extended her stay when our flight got delayed. 100% will book again!

Alixandra is awesome! She is super responsive and Kane loves his walks with her. She is a great communicator, and I’m super grateful that she has been available when I’ve needed her. Definitely would recommend her if you’re looking for a great walker.

She was amazing and my puppy absolutely loved her! I really appreciated the pics she sent me and the attention she gave him while I was out of the house!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large fenced in area with a large oak tree in the middle that squirrels love, and if your pup is like mine, then they will too! I would be able to crate your dogs as well if they need/like to be. I clean water dishes, toys, and blankets daily to keep allergies/germs down. I use hypoallergenic cleaning solutions and washing machine detergent as well to cut down on allergies. I also do not burn or have plugins that have scents that could be harmful to your pup (eucalyptus/cinnamon/tee tree/etc). If you need to break up payment or would like to discuss a lower price, just let me know! I’m here to help💚

Information Alixandra R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know ahead of time if your animals have any allergies, if they don’t like to be picked up or to be touched in certain areas (feet/ears/etc). Please let me know if they are possession aggressive or have fears that can lead to aggression.

A typical day

We love going on walks and to the dog park (with your consent). At the dog parks, I bring my own bowl and water and only allow them to drink out of that if I can. On walks, I don’t allow them to interact with other pups or allow them to walk in grass that isn’t maintained (so they don’t step on or eat anything they shouldn’t). I also provide lick mats/kongs/and treat puzzles to help stimulate their minds. I’m a distance runner, so I can take your pups for runs too! A tired pup is a happy pup!

Availability

I currently work full-time remotely, so I would be available for your fur babies at all times. When caring for your pets, weather permitted, I stay outside as much as I can to ensure they get enough exercise. I go for a walk around 9am and at 7pm every day and would be happy to take your pups along!
