Hi, my name is Alexandra, I’m a postgraduate student reading political science.
I had a mixed breed rescue dog (a mix of german shepherd, collie and something else), Caesar, for 11 years, so I know how difficult it can be to entrust your favourite pet to someone else. I guarantee that I will take care of your pet with kindness and love.
I have been taking care of animals for as long as I remember. As a child I set up a canteen for cats in my grandmother's backyard, which eventually became popular with cats from all over the area - not just the stray ones! My granny wasn’t too happy, especially because I was giving practically all our food to cats...
I have a lot of experience caring for my friends' dogs as well as fostering rescue puppies.
I fully understand that taking care of a dog and a cat is a big responsibility - and I can guarantee that I’m a very responsible and trustworthy person. I do love animals - and they feel it.
During the summer I will be quite flexible with my research, so I would be delighted to care for and walk your pets. As I live in a student residence I sadly can’t accommodate animals at the moment.
The minimum duration of my dog walks and home visits is 45 minutes and I am happy to arrange longer care should you need it. Please feel free to message me with any questions.
I can't wait to meet your pets!
Reference from my friend Natalie, in Muswell Hill:
"Alexandra is one of the most gentle and empathetic people I know. She has a heart of gold and has taken care of my Jack Russel puppy for the past months. Polka, who is a shy dog, lights up when she sees Alexandra. We have also had some terrific plays together in North London. Please do not hesitate to ask my number to Alexandra and I will be happy to reassure you on her services".

Alexandra was absolutely brilliant! We have an older cat that needs a lot of additional care and she looked after her so well. It was wonderful to go away on holiday and not need to worry.
Alexandra was an angel and restored my faith in cat sitters. We had a long meet and greet where she took the time to get to know my cat, as well as tell me all about herself, so I was comfortable leaving my cat (and my flat!) in her care. She was reliable and conscientious, sending me photos and videos with updates at the same time every day, so I could relax and have a great holiday knowing my cat was being well looked after. She even went above and beyond, by cleaning up broken glass (caused by a neighbour’s cat trespassing!), washing a pillowcase that my cat had soiled, and watering my plants. I came home to an immaculate flat and a very happy cat, so couldn’t be happier. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Alexandra and will definitely be calling on her services for future trips!
