“Alexandra was great to our two fur babies. She came to meet them in advance and they already seemed to like her. She was able to give one of our cats his medications each time she came, she played with them, and she gave them lots of love. She was also very prompt in her communication and provided lots of pictures each time.”


“Everything went very well with Barbara and my dog Abner. He is a bit shy at first, but warmed up nicely to her. Barbara was prompt on every visit and shared with me how each visit went along the way with some pictures. I definitely would recommend her to anyone that is needing their pet looked after while they are away..”

About: Friend to all animals.✨ I have walked and dog-sat two pitbulls (ages: 2 and six months) on a weekly basis since the fall of 2022. My additional clients include mutts, a pug, a belgian shepherd, dobermans, and more, ages ranging 10 weeks - five years. I have stuck with some clients for over a year until their schedules changed or they moved, and with some dogs on a temporary basis. I am intent on working with the owners to adapt to their training methods for their fur-babies and enforcing those gently. Walks are enjoyable for both the dogs and me: I keep it lax and adapt to what they want in that moment. I’ve taken care of dogs, cats and fur-babies alike since I was 15, when I would dog-sit and walk for family friends. I’ve had varying dog sitting and cat sitting gigs (both day visits and overnights) since then, some of which included overnight stays. Pet care is great supplemental time with pets and additional income while I full work remotely. I am flexible to work with clients on their schedules/their adorable pets schedules. I am also available some nights and weekends. My top priority besides providing love, fun and stimulation to your pets is their safety: both for their sake and my own. Making sure that we discuss your yard set up especially your fencing, and indoor set up (do you have animal gates/baby gates set up, areas they’re not permitted in), etc. Communication is key and I would love to know what works for your animal: what boundaries are set and what they’re comfortable with.

I bring that same level of care to everything that I do.

About: My best -friend for the first 8 years of my life was a dog - little has changed in the intervening 40 some-odd years. I have lived with and raised dogs my entire life - everything from small Chihuahua mixes to a medium Springer Spaniel and a large lab mix (and a few others). Currently I walk walk my own dogs 1-2 hours a day 365 days a year on the trails around my wife and I's mountain home. I am an artist and fabricator who works out of my own shop located on my property. I sometimes become busy with commissions but am ultimately in charge of my own schedule - this allows me to move things around as needed to walk my own and others pups. I am currently not hosting clients dogs at my home as my own dogs (rescues) take some time to warm up to new dogs on our (their) property. This experience has made me sensitive to dogs who are reactive or vulnerable. One size does not fit all for animals and I enjoy taking the time to give them what they need.
