Personalized care for your dog or cat - Alexander Crossroads

“I could not have asked for a better sitter. Ionna was amazing with communication, timeliness, and worked with me every step of the way. We had a brand new puppy and Ionna let me whole family come back the next day so they could meet her. She was so nice and caring for my babies and I will definitely be using her again next time i’m in Florence!!”

About: I have taken care of my own personal dog since I was 8 years old, I bought her with my birthday money and she has been my best friend ever since. I’ve always had a love for animals and have dog sat a lot more in the recent years. I also have a cat I adopted several years ago that lives with me. I have experience administering medications and working with senior dogs, puppies, kittens etc. I also worked in a doggy daycare and got a lot of experience working there. I work from home, so my weekly schedule is very open and flexible. I’m able to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits, and I can adjust my routine to meet each pet’s specific needs. Whatever you need or want me to do no matter how absurd you think it seems, I do not mind doing it if it helps your fur baby feel at home. I want your fur babies to feel comfortable with me and I want you to feel comfortable too.

About: I have always had multiple dogs in the household growing up. I have raised and trained many puppies for myself and others. I am patient, loving, and attentive to each dog’s individual needs. I understand the importance of keeping pets safe, happy, and comfortable while their owners are away. I treat every pet like my own and will make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and care. I typically work 3 days a week as a registered nurse, and my workdays vary from week to week. This gives me flexibility on my days off to care for your pets. I can coordinate my availability with your needs and will always communicate clearly about scheduling. I have 4 fur babies of my own! Two are small and two are medium to large-sized dogs (all can be crated in their own room if need be). They are part of my family, and I understand how important it is to provide pets with a safe, loving, and comfortable environment. I will treat your pets with the same care and attention I give my own. I follow feeding instructions, respect each pet’s routine, and make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and supervision. I am happy to discuss any special needs, preferences, or concerns you may have so you can feel confident leaving your pets in my care.

“Brennen was outstanding. She has an obvious and natural love for animals. My dogs Rosie and Rudie immediately felt at home in her care - in fact, I think she "spoiled them." Communication was excellent. Brennen's children were wonderful with the dogs, and both dogs immediately fell in love with them. Brennan's own dog was well behaved and welcoming to mine. I would recommend Brennen and her family without hesitation.”

“This was my first time using a pet sitter and got lucky in choosing Lauren. She handled everything with my cats exactly as I would have, and that’s the highest praise I can give. Will absolutely book again.”

About: I’ve been around/taken care of cats since before I can remember, growing up I used to love hanging out & helping take care of the farm cats my grandparents had lounging all over the barn. I currently have a 3 yr old tortie, her name is Salem & two of her kittens along with my little sisters cat Espresso.

“Ionna was great at communicating with me before booking and the morning of. She even took my pup on a ride, which she loves! Harley seemed very happy when I picked her up. Recently moved to the area so it is great to find a sitter that we can trust.”

About: Hi there! My name is Jess. I have two dogs (Cruiser & Cece) and am looking to care for other dogs at my home! I’ve always been a dog person, growing up several from a young age. I am at home and my husband travels and/or works from home. This gives me the ability to ensure your pet feels loved and welcomed! My dogs are my top priority and I'm sure yours are as well! Given that I am home most of the time - I/we have the ability to ensure your pet feels loved and welcomed! I am also flexible with my availability to best accommodate your needs. Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I should accommodate. We want your pet to feel comfortable and at home and we will keep as close to their normal, familiar routine as we can! Please have up to date vaccination records I have a fenced in yard and pool. Our dogs are allowed on our furniture and sleep in the bed. Cruiser tends to hang back and Cece dives right in!

“Olivia did a great job for me today. She was responsible and on time. I will be using her on a regular basis.”

“Lauren was so sweet and is super professional! I felt really at ease leaving Rafi with her! My dog is pretty hyper and she handled him like a pro, definitely going to continue using her!”

About: I have been raised alongside animals all my life. I've had dogs for as long as I remember ranging from pitbulls to great danes, and from chihuahuas to jack russells. I'm actually attending school to become a veternarian due to my unwavering attention of animals of all kinds. Pet care is a natural part of our daily family life. As a parent and a pet owner myself, our home is always filled with love and structure. We specialize in boarding, daycare, and drop-in visits, so your pup will instantly become a part of our routine. We don't have a fenced yard, but we do have a massive open field perfect for leashed exploration, long-line fetch, and active outdoor time! Whether socializing with my dog, playing with my child, or running in the field, your pup will be safe, happy, and loved. Pet care is a natural part of our daily family life. As a working parent who is also in school, our home operates on a reliable, structured routine built around my baby's schedule and my daily commitments. My school schedule is about to become much busier, I am highly focused on managing my time effectively. Please note that I may not always be able to respond to text messages immediately while I am in class or focused on work, but I will always check in and provide updates as soon as I am free! Because our days are busy, your pup will get a highly active experience—on days when I am completely washed with school or work activities, I often bring my guest pets along with me so they get extra socialization, stimulation, and real-world fun! My Care Standards: Boarding & Daycare (In My Home): Guest pets enjoy supervised playtime with my dog, kid-friendly interactions, and leashed outdoor exercise in our large open field. All guest dogs must be friendly with children and other pets. House Sitting (In Your Home): My house sitting service is primarily an overnight stay focused on evening companionship and morning routines, supplemented by a reliable midday check-in rather than constant 24/7 care. Drop-In Visits: I provide reliable, structured check-in blocks tailored around my daily routine to ensure consistent potty breaks, meals, and companionship in your pet's own home.I prioritize clear communication, strict safety, and a predictable routine for every pet in my care!

“Samuel was courteous, kind, and conscientious. Obviously loves animals and highly responsible. I would definitely choose him again to care for my dog.”

About: I’ve had my own 3 dogs for the last 6 years. Before that, I would take care of my friends animals. I often dog sit and cat sit for close friends and family. Figured I would do it on here, too! I have trained all of my dogs, nothing crazy. Just the basics. One of my dogs does have health issues and another has really bad allergies so I definitely know what it’s like to have a certain routine per animal. All my animals needs are different and I’m here to provide that to lessen your stress ☺️ All day, all night!!! I am also able to travel. I drive a lot so I don’t mind if I have to travel a bit. I would love for the pet owners to give me a run down no matter what! Even if your animal is low maintenance. My dogs are high maintenance so I’m also used to that. I just like specific instructions, I feel it makes it easier for everyone involved! Especially if I’m pet sitting in your home. That’s your safe space.

“Audrey was honestly the best. Our cat Nova had a great time and was obviously very cared for. Audrey had great and fast communication, kept us in the loop constantly. She also gave us lots of pictures. 10/10 would recommend.”
