Information Alex A. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any behaviors or special needs that need to be accounted for while they’re in my care. I prefer pets that can get along with other animals and children. However, I can manage dogs with avoidance or aggression on solo walks.

A typical day

We will play fetch, run through our neighborhoods and walk on scenic paths full of great smells. And of course, plenty of pets, snuggles and naps!

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Alex, and I’d love to be your dog’s next best friend! ❤️🐶 Animals have been a huge part of my life from day one—my dad was a veterinarian, we had multiple cats and dogs at home and I spent much of my childhood helping out in his clinic. That early experience gave me a deep understanding of animal behavior, care, and most of all—a serious soft spot for furry friends. Sorry scaly guys, you just aren’t for me. ❌🐍🦎 I’ve had many different breeds in my home and I currently have a sweet English Setter who loves to run and snuggle as much as I do. I’ve helped potty train and teach basic obedience to my puppies, so I’m comfortable with high-energy dogs and understand their needs. Whether it’s a long walk, a drop-in visit, or a cozy day at my home, your pup will be treated like family—spoiled with love, attention, and plenty of belly rubs. I’m an active person and a runner, so if your dog loves to get outside and burn energy, I’m your girl! I offer: ✅ Afternoon or weekend dog walking ✅ Afternoon or weekend drop-ins ✅ Limited boarding (non-reactive dogs and kid-friendly dogs only – I have two young children at home) I provide a safe, loving, and structured environment and truly enjoy getting to know each dog’s unique personality. I know how much your pets mean to you, and I promise to treat them with the same care and love I give my own. I can’t wait to meet you and your four-legged family member! 🐾
