About Alexandra

Since living in Toronto, I've come to love the experience of pet sitting. It's been great meeting new people and their pets, having small dogs and cats over at my place to keep me company, walking dogs in the park, and also doing house-sitting. Pawshake has been a valuable experience that further strengthened my pet-sitting skills!

Back overseas, I have a mini Maltese living with my parents whom I adore. While I miss him, it's nice to meet other pets here and explore the surrounding areas. About myself, I would say I am a very agreeable person and like to be out and about. On my dog walks, I would often do extra time free of charge simply because it was relaxing for me (and enjoyable for the dogs as well!)

In my apartment now, I take vaccinated pets in addition to doing drop in visits and walking. I can do some grooming and basic oral medication administration. My schedule is flexible I'm available to do sitting for several hours in the day, which can include several walks of half an hour or so. I'm experienced with dogs of most sizes for walks. Afternoons and evenings are preferable. Drop in visits/sitting for cats is always welcome! For home visits, I can also do some housekeeping and check the mail. I'm also ok with taking care of more than one cat at a time if at the owner's home.

**also please note:

I can only sit one pet at a time if in my apartment. I also do not typically accept stays longer than 1 week for dogs at my home.

My catchment area includes parts of downtown Toronto
