Trained in special needs for pets.

Pet care experience

Hello there! My name is Alex, I have grown up taking care of rescue pups with average to very special needs. I am comfortable taking care of those who are blind, pets who have diabetes, the ones who need oral application of medications, little guys with anxieties and then those who just need some extra attention and love. I am currently located in an apartment. I am a 5 minute walk to nearby parks. I am also located walking distance to a fenced in dog park.I am available for walks, home visits and over night stays in the Seattle area. Thank you for visiting my page!

Alex was amazing with our jittery, anxious rescue dog! She knew exactly how to earn his trust and was so patient with him for the entire stay. We have a hard time finding someone who can look after him since he's so anxious, but Alex was a perfect match. Highly recommend her if you need someone to look after your pet! :)

Alex is simply the best match for my quirky little Franklin. He has some behavioral issues that make him challenging to watch, but Alex said she was up for a challenge and she went above and beyond to make sure Franklin had a fun stay. She is flexible, always quick to respond, and checks in if she has a question about something that might make him more comfortable. She went out of her way to help socialize Franklin and he seems more calm after staying with her. You cannot go wrong having Alex watch your pets. Just don’t book her up too much, because I am going to need to send Franklin over to see her again soon. Thank you for everything Alex. I’m so thankful we found you. -Monica and Franklin

Alex was amazing! We have a dog with a pretty traumatic background (he was rescued as a stray), and he is typically very jittery and scared around new people. He warmed up to Alex so much faster than I expected; she knew exactly when and how to give him space until he felt comfortable enough to be with her. She also gives you plenty of photos and status updates, and she makes sure your pet gets plenty of exercise/potty breaks. Highly recommend Alex if you need a sitter!

A typical day

I love to play with dogs and find it important to take them on frequent walks. I am surrounded by a couple of dog parks or a park with lots of trees and nature. That seems to be a big hit.
