She is kind & warm, followed all instructions, and went above-and-beyond to make sure my girls were happy & healthy while I was away (lots of cuddles). She also sent pictures of my happy girls to put my mind at ease."

“We had the absolute pleasure of having Alexandria care for our chinchilla, Gus, while we were away, and we could not have asked for a better pet sitter! From start to finish, her level of care, attention to detail, and professionalism were beyond exceptional…It was clear from the start that Gus was not just being taken care of but was genuinely loved and doted on.

…What truly sets Alexandria apart is her deep knowledge of exotic pets. Chinchillas require special care, and she knew exactly how to handle everything—from diet to proper handling techniques—ensuring Gus was as comfortable and happy as possible.

…I would recommend Alexandria to anyone in a heartbeat! Whether you have a dog, cat, or a more exotic pet like a chinchilla, she is the person you want caring for them. Thank you, Alexandria, for your incredible dedication and love—you are truly one of a kind!”

She’ll definitely make sure your fur child is well loved while you’re away.

While I was away for a weekend, she truly went above and beyond for us, and I came back to a very clean house (thank you for sweeping!!) and a happy, healthy kitty!!

I have so much gratitude for this experience, and will always hire her when I need a petsitter!"
