About Alexandra

Hello, I'm Alex. I've always loved animals since I was young, and I've always been surrounded by them, encouraged by my parents. I started out my life in a different direction for my career, going into an arts degree, but ultimately came back to animals as I knew that's where I'd be most happy. Being able to interact daily with animals is something you dont realize is so important, until you can't. so I cherish it greatly.

  • I am now working as a qualified canine hydrotherapist and rehabilitation practitioner at a clinic in Wellington. I always want an animal to be able to be itself, being able to play, eat, enjoy new experiences and have fun.

  • Being a canine hydrotherapist, I am capable
  • in handling injured, unwell and fearful animals. I always try to ensure an animal always feels welcomed and non threatened by me, and I am very aware of body language and posture in dogs and cats, as well as my own.

  • I can take your animals for a walk in their familiar territory, or just hang out with them at home if needed.
  • The length of the walk is not an issue, I can spend as long as the animal requires.
  • Cuddles and playing with your
  • pets are always part of my interaction with your pets, as long as they are comfortable with it.

  • I am very confident with many animals having worked in a kennels and cattery, and also having cared for rabbits and budgies.
  • I am able to house and pet sit for your animals in your house while you are away, ensuring they are comfortable and the least stressed as possible.
  • I am a capable dog walker aswell, having had so many in my life, and welcome extra instructions if they need specific training on walks etc
