About Alessandra

Experience: 2 yrs

I am a college student, but caring for animals is something I'm very passionate about! I love all animals; I have 3 furry friends of my own who I care for daily and I have volunteered at Front Street Animal Shelter for the past 3 years. I am experienced in dealing with animals of all temperaments and know how to approach each pet with love, care, patience, and respect. I have also worked as a dog groomer for 4 years which helped me to gain experience working with different pets and ways to best meet the owners needs. I know how important it is to know that your pet (which is often family) is being cared for with the same love and attention that you would give. My goal is to make you feel comfortable and secure in knowing your pet is being cared for with love as if it were my own.

I had an extremely disappointing and unprofessional experience with this sitter. We confirmed all the details of a week-long booking on Tuesday, and by Sunday—just one day before our family trip—she completely ghosted me. When I reached out to touch base, my text messages turned green, indicating I’d been blocked. Something felt off, so I called blocked. She answered, but immediately hung up when she heard my voice. She never gave any notice, explanation, or apology. Had I not reached out myself, I would’ve been left completely in the dark. This last-minute flake forced us to scramble and split our dogs between three different locations just hours before leaving. It was only thanks to supportive friends and family that we managed. This level of disregard and unprofessionalism is unacceptable, especially when caring for pets that are like family. I would strongly caution others before booking with her.
