“Alexandra is incredibly kind and gentle. She was so patient with our Lani, who’s scared of just about everything, and really respected our request to keep greetings and goodbyes calm and low-key to help prevent separation anxiety. She takes her time, used the treats for getting boots on!) And gives Lani the full walk time without rushing. We feel very comfortable with her and would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, attentive walker.”
About: I love animals of all shapes and sizes! Since my childhood I've taken care of all kinds of animals from dogs and cats to fish and hermit crabs. As a current English Bulldog owner, I have experience across the spectrum from energetic dogs to more relaxed breeds. I've raised my own pets since puppyhood (just 8 weeks old!) and enjoy training through this stage, including all of its cuteness and rowdiness! Family often depends on me for dog-sitting and spending time with their pets, as I love to engage with all pets through play and staying active. I love getting to know new animals and cherishing their individual personalities! I am currently a part-time student in college, leaving a lot of room for your pets! I am available during the week and weekends for things like boarding and walking. I find myself available throughout the week between my class schedule for dog walking and drop-ins. Playing with dogs is the perfect de-stressor between classes! I am much more available during the weekends for pet-sitting. I would love to spend my free time with your pups! I have experience with many different breeds of both dogs and cats, ensuring a safe environment for your pets. I understand I will be entering their space and will always make sure they are the most comfortable first!
About: I genuinely enjoy being around dogs and giving them the attention, patience, and care they deserve. I treat every dog like my own—making sure they feel safe, understood, and well cared for. I’ve also cared for dogs with ongoing training plans and followed owner instructions very closely to maintain consistency while they were away. As a nurse, I work three days per week, which gives me a flexible schedule on my days off. While my shifts may vary from week to week, this actually allows me to be adaptable and available on different days for pet care. For dogs, I prioritize safe walks, positive reinforcement, and maintaining any leash manners or training expectations provided by the owner. I also provide regular updates so owners feel reassured and connected while they’re away. My goal is always to make the experience as seamless and stress-free as possible for both the pet and the owner!

She was so friendly and even made the time to stop over the day prior to introduce herself, grab the house key and meet our dog.
