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
