Pet care experience
I moved to Colorado in 2019 with my boys, I have 1 dog and 1 cat! They are my kids and I treat them as such and same for yours! I can provide all the love, time and attention you would ever hope for!! I grew up with many dogs of all ages and breeds, as well as plenty of cats. My history for working with dogs is very wide. Right out of high school I got a job at a doggie daycare and that was just the beginning of my journey. Since then I have; * worked in a humane society caring for dogs and cats (in good health and bad) * Worked at a different doggie daycare, in which I became the supervisor * Been a swim coach for dogs (for therapy and fun) * Hiked dogs (would hike up to 4 dogs at a time for 2 hours) * Been a clinical assistant and supervisor for a traveling vet company (referred vaccines to clients and helped hands on with the vet) I now work full time as a vet receptionist for a local clinic in englewood!
Reviews
Alex is an amazing dog handler. I can say that simply having my dog with her once a week for a few months led to a noticable improvement for on leash walking skills. Awesome communication and my dog always runs up to greet her for their day together.
Alex was absolutely amazing! Went above and beyond for the dogs, clearly a very capable dog watcher :) we will definitely be using her again. Can’t speak highly enough about her
Alex has loved animals all her life. She is amazing with them and connects well with all animals she has ever been around. You will not be disappointed with her taking care of your animals.

Your pets safety and happiness is my top priority! I provide all the care and love that I would want for my kiddos. Anything I can do to make them more comfortable, I’ll do it! We do have 2 dogs and 2 cats that live in the house, so I ask that any dog that comes into our home be friendly and socialized. The cats do stay to themselves as they are older and don’t want to be bothered. Both dogs are on the younger side and love to play, but also very good at matching energies. If you dog wants to play, they’ll want to play. If they like to lay around, they’ll do the same! When it comes to my home, I live in a two level house with a small fenced in back yard. Theres plenty of room to play inside and out. I also live about 5 minutes from a dog park! In the house; *lots of toys *fresh water everyday or more often if needed *raise food bowls if needed *two different sized dog beds, very large and small *first aid kit specific to their needs *one ingredient treats *allowed on furniture *can puppy proof if needed *can feed in separate rooms in need *large dog bed outside open to them I do ask that for any dog staying in my apartment they be up to date on the following vaccines; (I will require proof) *Rabies *DA2PP *Bordetella

Information Alex A. would like to know about your pet
Is there anything important to note? For example; • Do they have any medical conditions I should be aware of? If so, do they take medications or require a certain level of activity? • Any allergies or sensitivities? • What do you avoid with your dog? Crowds or people, other dogs or animals, stairs, certain toys or chews, car rides, etc.? • Do they have any triggers or stressors that I should be aware of? • What are their favorite places or things to do? • Are they allowed on couches and/or beds or do you prefer them to stay off furniture? • Is there any training your working on you’d like me to continue? • Specific commands or ways to correct and redirect their attention? I want to know anything and everything about your kiddo to make sure they have the best time at my house. The more info the merrier!
A typical day
I’m open for it all! Does your dog have a favorite activity or place to go? If so let me know and I’ll be sure to incorporate that in our time. I do not have a car but that’s never limited me from taking the dogs out! There’s a couple parks within walking distance of my place or we can hop in an Uber and head further out if need be!! I’ll also never turn down a chill day inside, if you have a pet that requires limited physically activity or if they prefer to stay in that’s not a problem at all!!

I currently work full time 4 days a week. I have the weekends off and typically a Wednesday or Thursday during the week. Although I work longer hours during the week, I do have two roommates that always lend a helping hand while I’m gone during the day. One of my roommates works with dogs as well, and has one of her own, so I can guarantee your kiddo would get the best care in our home.
