Active and energetic dog lover :)
Pet care experience
While my official job title is pharmacist, my true passion has always been caring for and loving on dogs. I have about 5 years experience of owning, boarding, walking, administering medication, and training dogs of various sizes, ages and skill levels (from Chihuahuas and Yorkies to Burners and Great Danes). I have worked primarily with herding breeds in the past, more specifically in helping these dogs constructively get out their energy, overcome leash pulling, learn basic commands, and I have just started educating myself in agility training and mastering the more “fun” commands. I truly consider myself an every breed lover and if there are any specific needs or concerns you have for your pup, please let me know how I can help support them while they are in my care.
Reviews
We loved working with Alex! She was so great with our puppy, gave us updates while we were away and even dealt with last minute medications for an infection our dog got the day before we left. We would not hesitate to have her watch our dog again!!
Alex took great care of our dog while we were out of town 2 weeks. Alex is warm and friendly, and our pup came home happy and healthy. Alex and her husband were home often to check on Tizzy/ take her on walks. They ensured she was comfortable with their dog as well, which was appreciated. Alex sent us pics/updates via the Rover app and we felt she was in good hands & enjoyed our vacation knowing she was cozy in their home. We would not hesitate to book a stay again, much thanks Alex & Dan!
Alex is amazing! She watched my dog Gracie and she even sent me pictures while I was away. It gave me such peace of mind to know that my pup was having so much fun and being so well loved!
I don't know anyone who loves and cares for dogs more than Alex. Whether with her own pup, who is more like her child, or with strangers on the street or at the dog park, Alex is always looking out for the dogs around here by giving them a loving pat when they come up to her, throwing the ball, or respectfully giving them space if they need it. She is one of the most responsible people I have ever met and I trust her fully. She has been through several obedience/training classes with her own dog and knows the best ways to work with dogs in various situations. Alex would not only walk your dog but be a comfort and friend to them.
