Safety, trust & environment

I love spending time playing with dogs. If your dog is full of energy, I am more than willing to take them for walks and play with them to get some energy out! If your dog is more laid back, I love a good snuggle! I am comfortable crating dogs, as well as having them roam freely!

Information Alex D. would like to know about your pet

Before taking care of your pet, please let me know any special considerations that they may need. If there are things that make them uncomfortable, or certain situations in which they may react negatively, please just let me know so I can do my best to avoid them!

A typical day

I love to be outside, so playing fetch, walking, or even just sunbathing in the fresh air is an option! Depending on your dogs activity level, the area around your house, and your preferences, there are many activities that we can do during our time together!

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of neighborhood pets for over eight years. I have watched dogs of all ages, sizes, and needs. I have also watched dogs with high medical needs such as epilepsy and am comfortable giving medications. I have experience with everything from drop-in visits to multiple-month stays! In addition to dogs, I am also comfortable taking care of cats, goats, and chickens and have years of experience with them as well!

Alex was a great friend for Ziggy to hang out with overnight while we were out of town. I appreciated the thoughtfulness with updates and photos. We will definitely be looking forward to hiring her again in the future!

Alex has been helping out with my animals for several years. She does dog, cat, goat and chicken care for me when I travel. Alex is always great about checking in and letting me know how everything is going. She is very reliable! She cares a lot about the animals and enjoys spending time with them. I highly recommend her services to anyone!

Alex has been taking care of our pups, chickens, and turkeys for many years now. Our pups love her and get so excited everytime they see her! We love that she sends us pictures of our pups while she is watching them. She is very reliable and sweet with the animals. It always makes us enjoy our vacations more knowing all the animals are in awesome hands.
