I am currently self-employed and work on my own time virtually. I am pretty much home all day everyday! I love being outside and going on long walks with the dogs I sit for.

Information Alex C. would like to know about your pet

If you are boarding with me, your pup must get along with my golden retriever. She is very friendly and loves her furry friends so much!

A typical day

I love to take the pups I watch to the beach to walk (or swim), play tug-a-war or fetch, and I am a sunset-lover so I am always catching the sunset in different locations with the pups. I am respectful of the pet-owner's requests and alter my care based on their needs.

Pet care experience

I I have a unique background in dog sitting that sets me apart from others. For years, I’ve lovingly cared for my own 16-year-old rescue dog, who had special needs. This experience taught me how to provide attentive, compassionate care tailored to each dog’s individual requirements, especially senior dogs who need a little extra support and patience. In addition to senior care, I’ve looked after dogs of all breeds, sizes, and ages, gaining valuable insights into their different needs and personalities. I also have hands-on experience with puppies, ever since I adopted my golden retriever as a puppy—she’s now 2 years old and absolutely loves other dogs. Living within walking distance of the beach, I’m always excited to take dogs on outdoor adventures, making sure they have a fantastic time during their stay with me. Whether it’s a leisurely walk, playtime, or simply extra snuggles, I’m dedicated to keeping every dog happy, comfortable, and safe.

Alex was an awesome dog-sitter. Our 3 year old golden was well-cared for over the week that we were away. She communicated very well with us before and during our trip. I would definitely have Alex watch our golden again!
