Animal Lover With Fenced-In Yard!

Pet care experience

Hello there! I’m Alex. I’m a young professional living in Alexandria, and I LOVE all furry creatures, especially dogs. I’ve had dogs almost my whole life, and they’ve all been lovingly cared for. I’m very attentive, I love to play, cuddle, and take pups on long walks or runs. I’m one of those people that goes over to a friend’s house and ends up hanging out with the dog. 🤓 My husband (a fellow dog lover) and I also live within walking distance of a county park, and we would love to hang with your pup!

Alex was great! She was very quick to respond to our initial request, and was very responsive afterwards regarding coordination efforts. Our pup came home completely exhausted after a night with Alex, so we are very pleased with her services! I would highly recommend Alex!

Alex was great and took great care of my dog. She was very flexible and accommodating when my flight was delayed. I’d have no issue leaving my dog with her anytime!

Alex and her fiancé were amazing! First time leaving my new dog for an extend period of time but they kept me in the loop and took very good care of Raven! 100% would recommend them.

Responsible, friendly, everything her descriptions says and more- we are totally hiring Alex again. Alex was fantastic with our dog Brinkley when we had to go out of town last minute for a funeral. We met Alex and her fiancé, who accommodated us for a meet and greet a few nights before. Her home is clean and her fenced yard perfect for playing catch and letting dogs outside. We felt completely comfortable and at ease knowing Brinkley was in good hands. Alex’s care of Brinkley was wonderful. She was very flexible and even dropped Brinkley off at our house before we returned so we could see him as soon as we got back from our flight. Love Alex! She is a great fit for our family’s and especially Brinkley’s needs!

Information Alex C. would like to know about your pet

I’d like to know what their temperament is like toward people and other dogs. We do not house sit dogs with aggressive tendencies or who are not house trained (except for puppies, of course). Also would like to know about any bad habits such as barking, chewing, etc.

A typical day

There is a lovely county park within walking distance, so we could definitely head there to get some sniffs in! I have a large fenced in yard as well, which is great for off-leash activities. Fetch, tug of war, and hide and seek are always fun to play!
