I am a cat lady from way back. In fact I am an animal lover completely. My first two kitties came to me at the age of 6 and were loved to the moon and back. They both lived into their twenties. They made such beautiful old women!
I volunteered at the RSPCA as a young child (from the age of 8-12) and it was my favourite activity each month.
I have also cared for the animals of all my neighbours since I was a child and still do. Everyone who knows me is aware of how committed I am to pet care.
At the age of 23 after finishing my first degree I moved to Samoa to work on a Stray Dog Education Program and this is where I developed my love of pooches. I spent a year working with unwell, stray dogs and working with the community to educate them on how to care for the dogs.
Although I will forever be a crazy cat lady, my Samoa experience created my love of all dogs. I love walking friends dogs and have regularly house and dog sat for my close friend's blind and deaf dog.
I previously fostered cats with a rescue group which resulted in our family adopting the beautiful Rigby who I took care of for 6 months before he settled down with my in-laws. He is now living a divine life in Queensland. As a cat with a permanent illness (corona virus) Rigby required extra tlc and so I am experienced in working with animals with health concerns and actually really enjoy this kind of work.
My new rented unit sadly does not allow for pets and so I can not host pets at home.
Please note I can only house sit on Friday and Sat nights but can visit pets during the weekdays.

Alexa was a wonderful pet sitter. She was very accomodating to all our odd requests. We enjoyed getting daily detailed updates and photos of our cat Lil. We also appreciated that she and another pet sitter could arrange amongst themselves a hand over of keys and instructions. I would definitely recommend Alexa.
We were very happy to have Alexa look after our pets and home when we went away. She was fantastic at sending updates and photos throughout the time she stayed, and we returned home to a very clean house and happy dog and cat. We would absolutely ask her back again in the future.
