I am currently working part time at my main job. However. I can not do any early mornings or late night time walks. I still have time to do walks and drops in. I just currently require some flexibility. I know it’s a lot to ask for. However I am managing and still walking and doing drop ins for your loved ones

Safety, trust & environment

So every pet has different needs. I have a variety of clients I do watch for, but I think the biggest thing is communicating with the owners in how their fur babies are. And pictures if they prefer it. A lot of people just want to make sure that the medicine is given, that the dogs ate and that they were let outside.

Information Alex D. would like to know about your pet

I love knowing if the dog requires medication, if they have allergies to anything. How friendly they will be with me walking threw the door. If they are animal friendly (if we go on walks). If they have any ticks in general.

A typical day

So depending on the dogs needs is what I’ll do. I don’t have an issue with dogs that require more attention. However we do love walks, any place their comfortable at their own pace. Some dogs just love to cuddle.

Pet care experience

I have no preference as far as the size, or breed of the dog. I love the goofy ones that just like to flop over for the belly rubs. I've dealt with the escape artists as well. Having a great deal of patients is always beneficial and having compassion not only for the well being of the animal but for the owner I find is the best and most reassuring quality of a dog sitter. Having my own dog for the past 12 years (the dog in the picture) has taught me great responsibility and what it means to want to trust your fur baby with someone else and how important it is to feel comfortable. Why expect anything but the best for all around.

Alex is fantastic. It’s clear that she really cares about dogs and people. She has gone the extra mile to the best care of Hershey. She’s always on time and communicates well. I can’t say enough good things about her!

Alex is fantastic. She has gone above and beyond while walking Hershey. She is always on time. She’s in constant communication. I can’t say enough about how great she is.

Alex has walked my puppy for over a month now, and she has been great. First, Bowie is always very excited to see her so I can tell that they have connected and have a good relationship. Second, Alex is very responsible. She is on time day in and day out, and on those few instances when she could not work on a day or would be late, Alex communicated that ahead of time so I could make alternative plans, if needed. And finally, Alex has been terrific with suggestions about my puppy’s health and related issues, without trying to force the issue or be pushy. I greatly appreciate her suggestions and help with my pup.
