Pet care experience
In addition to growing up with multiple dogs (lab mixes, pit mixes, Bernese Mountain dogs), cats, hamsters, and rabbits, in NYC I was a dog walker and pet sitter for Housebroken NY. In my time as a professional dog walker/pet sitter (both for Housebroken and for my own clients, friends, and family), I have cared for dozens of pets of different ages, breeds, and temperaments. As a dog walker, I was responsible for the safety and wellbeing of dogs in bustling urban environments and am experienced at keeping walks safe and on schedule. As a pet sitter, I have offered both short term (1-2 nights) and long term (several weeks to a month). While I love to have play time and snuggles, I also know the importance of consistency, and am familiar with keeping clients' routine in place to reinforce training. I have experience administering medication, navigating multi-pet households, and reinforcing house training.
Reviews
Alex is amazing! She is our go-to pup sitter :) She takes good care of our 2 dogs and is very respectful of our home. We just love her!
Alex was excellent- best pet sitter we’ve ever had. Communicative, able to handle our two dogs- one a rescue senior, one a reactive rescue; respectful of our home and just overall really delightful and easy to interact with. Absolutely recommend her without reservation!
We love Alex! She is the sitter we trust to look after our pups. Goes over and beyond to let us know how our dogs are doing, especially my little one who has separation issues and is scared of new people. Thank you, Alex!
Alex is amazing, we love her! This is our 2nd time booking Alex to house-sit our pups and was she just as amazing as the first time. She took good care of our dogs as well as our house and followed all the instructions we left for her. We are very thankful for her! We won't hesitate to book her for our future trips :)

Safety, trust & environment
I am respectful, tidy, and communicative when staying in a client's home. I enjoy sending frequent updates with videos and photos of the cute and fun times your pet is having!
Information Alex M. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pet has any special needs, medications, or strict training practices. Please also let me know if there are any concerns around taking them to dog parks, leash aggression, food aggression, etc.
A typical day
For more energetic and adventurous pets, I love to go on hikes, trips to the beach, walks around the neighborhood, dog parks, and play with toys at home! For smaller or more stationary pets I love pets and snuggles (on the couch or bed if allowed!). Since my remote work schedule is flexible I can give plenty of time and attention to pets of all types!
