About Alexandra

I am a veterinarian and had the opportunity to work with wildlife like a zookeeper at a zoo in Colombia. This job allowed me to face various challenges and apply my knowledge in the care of different animals. Working with diverse species has improved my skills in addressing unique needs and behaviors with patience and dedication.

At home, I have 8 cats and 3 dogs, which has given me a deeper understanding of pet care. This personal experience has strengthened my ability to handle different personalities and ensure that each animal receives the appropriate attention.

Currently, I am studying English and believe it would be ideal to use my experience in animal care to support my studies and stay in Australia. My goal is to provide pet owners with peace of mind, knowing their pets will be well cared for. I am committed to creating a safe and comfortable environment for all pets in my care, ensuring they receive the best possible attention.

Service description: I offer at-home pet care services, including:

Playing with your pet: I ensure quality time and fun for your furry friend.

Litter box cleaning: If you have cats, I will keep their area clean and comfortable.

Plant watering: If necessary, I can also water your household plants.

Basic brushing: I offer brushing if your pet has long hair and needs maintenance.

Oral medication administration: I can administer medications according to the owner’s instructions.

Special meal preparation: If your pet requires a special meal preparation, I can do so as long as the owner provides instructions.

Other tasks: I’m willing to help with any other reasonable tasks during my visit.

Availability:

Monday to Friday: After 3 p.m., following my classes.

•Weekends: Available all day.

Additional Services:

Dog walking: Walks are a minimum of 30 minutes and can be adjusted according to your pet’s needs. Walks are conducted in the neighborhood and nearby parks if available. During walks, I will ensure shade if needed, fresh water, and if the animal usually has snacks, I will bring them as well.

Safety Measures:

I ensure to follow specific instructions to maintain the safety and well-being of your pet and your home. I am very flexible and open to any recommendations provided by the owner. My goal is to provide the utmost confidence that your pet is in good hands, and I am committed to offering the same love and care as if they were my own pets or patients.

Alexandra was just brilliant. We received the most comprehensive messages after every visit, showing clean litter, topped up water and a full dry food feeder. Most impressively, our very shy boy warmed up to her straight away - which he almost never does - and it gave us such peace of mind to know he was getting pats in our absence. We came home to a lovely clean house. Alexandra even put the bins out for us and cleaned a few dishes we’d left behind. I would not hesitate to engage Alexandra’s services again, she was fantastic.

Alexandra was a pleasure to hire. Cuzco was well looked after and all instructions were followed very well. I will look to hire Alexandra the next time we are away.
