Hello! My name is Alexandra, I am Portuguese, and I am currently finishing my Master's thesis, which gives me a flexible schedule to dedicate quality time to your pets. Caring for animals is simply second nature to me. Growing up on my parents' farm, I was always surrounded by dogs, cats, and farm animals. Having pets my entire life has given me a deep, natural understanding of their needs, body language, and unique personalities. I am especially comfortable with large breeds, having raised two Labradors and two German Shepherds. Most recently, I welcomed Jack into my life, a curious and energetic 7 month old Australian Shepherd who loves running on the beach and making new friends. While I am new to caring for other people's pets professionally, my lifelong personal experience ensures your companion will be in safe, knowledgeable, and loving hands. Here is what I offer: Dog Walking (30 or 60 minutes): Great for dogs of all sizes who need to burn off energy, explore green spaces, or enjoy a good run. Includes fresh water, playtime, and lots of attention. I welcome non-aggressive dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes. I am flexible with my availability while writing my thesis and am always happy to follow your exact instructions to keep your pet's routine consistent!
