Highly experienced- Truly excellent
Pet care experience
I have over a decade of experience caring for cats, dogs, chickens and reptiles professionally. I look for clients who value excellent communication, experience, and a good sense of humor is a plus. Dogs: I support training and skills on walks and troubleshooting when necessary. We work on triggers, good leash behavior, all within a solution focused model. I have a protocol for walking that involves developing a solid bond and establishing trust with all animals and I strongly prefer to work with clients who consider their animals members of the family! Cats: I offer cats a level of attention they are comfortable with. I never force interaction but do seek them out if they are responsive. I make myself available for lap time and play time and work to create fun and stimulating games. Please hit me up with questions. There are no dumb questions! All breeds welcome! LGBTQI and BIPOC welcome! Please contact me as far in advance as possible. Thank you!
Reviews
We are always happy with our experience with Alex. We can tell she really care for our kitties and enjoys giving them a good experience. Thank you!
Alex took excellent care of our cat, Lucas, while we were away. Lucas is typically anxious, but we came home to an extremely at ease kitty. Alex was intentional about rotating through toys with him and treated him exceptionally well.
Alex took great care of my 3 cats and sent me excellent photos.
Alex took great care of our cat, Lucas, and was intentional in making our sometimes anxious cat feel safe and cared for! We received excellent updates about playtime and how Lucas was doing.

Safety, trust & environment
I enter and exit very carefully and always have dogs secured on a leash. I do not offer group or dog park visits. I pay close attention to surroundings while out on walks and take steps to avoid dangerous situations.
Information Alex C. would like to know about your pet
I am mainly interested in temperament. What does your pet like and dislike? When are they reactive? How do they feel about the heat and cold? Have you worked with a trainer and if so, on what issues? Any health concerns or previous health issues? Are there ways I can support your training efforts? I am not concerned about specific breeds and have experience with almost every breed of cat and dog.
A typical day
I don’t currently offer boarding. For walks, I try to create variety and may including training during the walk. I also vary routes (for dogs who need mental stimulation) to make things interesting.

Availability
I’m currently on hiatus for walks as I’m recovering from abdominal surgery and will update when available for walks again. I am available for cat visits but am unable to carry heavy bags of litter. Thank you for visiting my profile and have a great day!
