With 20+ years of hands-on experience and a true passion for animal care, I provide thoughtful, dependable in-home pet sitting so your furry family members can feel safe, comfortable, and cared for in the environment they know best. Your pet’s happiness, well-being, and routine are always my top priorities.

Ratings and reviews
Alex was great. We have cameras that showed she played outside with the dogs a lot. She also sent pictures of the dogs. They looked very happy to spend time with her The house was neat and clean. She also watered my pots and hanging baskets. Which must of taken a bit of time because it was really hot while we were gone. We would definitely use her again and recommend her.


Alex did an amazing job caring for my animals while I was away for the weekend. I have 2 large adult dogs and a 3 month old puppy…and 17 chickens! She sent pics and updates during the day and took great care of them all. Her communication throughout was excellent and the dogs loved her at our first meet and greet. High recommended!


Alex was a great sitter for our pets. Our pets were well cared for. Alex is a tiddy house guest. She even left a light on for us when she knew it would be dark when we got home.




Fun, kind, dogs loved her. I felt really at ease having her in our home.



We contacted Alex on very short notice and everything worked out great! She was very responsive, responsible and dependable. And our dogs were well cared for while we were away! We have 2 high needs dogs, one needs medicine and has his share of quirks and the other can be aggressive with new people and has his whole list of quirks too. They can be a handful to manage but Alex understood their personalities and how to work with them. We came back to a clean home and happy dogs! We are so glad we found Alex and would definitely hire again!


I've known Alex for over 15 years and can say she is one of the most dependable and caring people I know. When she takes care of my cats, they are so well cared for that they don't even act like they missed me lol. I never have to worry about a thing and she always leaves the place neat and tidy.

Schedule
I live in Sagle (East Bottle Bay) and work in Sandpoint as a Massage Therapist part time, which gives me some flexibility with location. My work shifts are typically 4- 4.5 hours 4 days per week, leaving plenty of time to provide attentive, consistent care for your pets.
