Hi! My name is Alex, and I'm an active twenty-something who has grown up with dogs (and other animals) since almost before I can remember. My family adopted two abused rescue dogs when I was 7 and 12, and growing up with them changed my life. Being lucky enough to grow up with my dogs helped shape me into the animal lover I am today-- not to mention, having dogs around all the time makes you forget what life was like without them! I've learned the importance of compassion, understanding what each individual dog needs, and to have patience when holes have been dug, fences chewed, and furniture destroyed! High-energy dogs are welcome, I love to run, hike, and adventure-- but I can also relax with your dog in the comfort of your home. I'd love to have a chance to meet your dog(s), and bond with them in whatever capacity you desire!
