Lifelong dog & cat lover, athlete
Pet care experience
I've had dogs in my life since I was born, learning how to respect, walk, care for, and feed them throughout my youth and young adulthood. Growing up, I ran a successful cat-sitting business in my neighborhood, providing as much or as little interaction with resident cats as they preferred. My family's dogs typically live in the 12+ year range, so I know how to slow down and gently care for senior animals. That being said, I also love a high-energy pup-- I grew up with terriers, after all! I'm an athlete, so long walks or spicing things up with a little run or outdoor play is right in my wheelhouse. :) I have a cat who lives in my house, who I delight in providing good enrichment, food, and play time for. Additionally, I volunteer at animal shelters in my spare time, because I believe all animals deserve care, compassion. and love.
Reviews
There is nobody that I trust more with my cat when I am out of town!
Alex has been the best and most reliable dog walker for my puppy! Routinely used for months and gave my puppy the best care. Great at teaching commands and communicating with me for scheduling. The pictures always made my day! Also leaves very detailed Rover cards. Would recommend and trust with all types of pets!
Alex is fantastic! Not only is she friendly and responsive, but she will go above and beyond to let you know your pets are in good hands. Always sends us lots of pics and writes a detailed summary of her visit. We really appreciate you!!
Alex, Always provides Ernie with the best care!!! Her notes provides details of their adventures and the cutest photos!! I would be lost without Alex to care for Ernie during the day. Alex always goes above and beyond. Thank you!!

I've had dogs with needs that spanned a wide spectrum: dogs with high energy, dogs who snuggle, dogs who are more treat oriented, etc. I have experience giving medicine to both dogs and cats (fun times!) and am happy to provide that for your pets if needed. As a cat owner, I'm comfortable with daily litter box cleans and accustomed to picking up poop while walking my family's dogs too.

I currently work remotely and cherish the flexibility of my job. I love being able to take long walks outside to think, and it's easy for me to take time in the mornings, evenings, or at lunch to see a furry friend.
