About Alexa

Hi there! I'm an aspiring wildlife biologist, a uni graduate and a wildlife conservation volunteer, spending the summer in Hobart to save up for my next volunteering trips. I will be missing all the wild critters that I usually work with, so being able to spend time some with other animals in the meantime would make me super happy!

I have done work placements at wildlife sanctuaries and zoos, and have plenty of experience taking care of a variety of species - from chameleons to chimpanzees and Tasmanian devils. I have just come back from volunteering with a reptile survey,

so I would be more than happy to take care of your beardy when you're away.

We have a kitten at home, which is why I can't let your pets stay at my place, but I'd love take care of them at your place or take them for walks when you're busy. Although I don't have a dog myself, a lot of my family members do and I spent a lot of time playing, going for walks and taking care of them when I'm there. Besides, who would be better at playing tug of war with your doggo than someone who has done so with seven Tasmanian devils at once?! ;)

Alexa was flexible and helpful in regard to our booking. Little Frieda was happy and Alexa stayed until we got home as she noted Frieda was a little low key. Thanks Alexa. See you next time

Alexa was fantastic while we were away. She was happy to meet a friend of ours who introduced her to our dog Leo. Alexa let us know how her walks went with Leo which was really lovely. Highly recommend Alexa for any pet sitting or walking
