Warm, loving, and fun pet care!

Pet care experience

I have been around dogs for the majority of my life! My family adopted our first dog, a yellow lab, when I was 7, and I’ve continued to have dogs throughout my life since, whether it be caring for my siblings’ dogs, other family members’ and friends’, and eventually having a fur baby of my own in my early twenties, a French bulldog named Chaos! I have experience with many breeds, sizes, demeanors, and needs. I have cared for puppies all the way to elderly dogs, including dogs with separation issues and anxiety, as well as attention to particular health needs for multiple animals including administering medications/vitamins, and strict diets, injecting insulin for my dog Chloe who had diabetes, and aiding to my frenchie’s intervertebral disc disease. It is so important to make sure that all animals feel safe, comfortable, and happy while also making sure they are taken care of - getting fed properly and on time, bonding and getting the exercise and play time they love and need!

Alex is wonderful with my dogs! She is a very responsible and caring dog sitter. She is also very flexible. I can tell that my dogs look forward to her visits!

I can not say enough great things about Alex and the care she provides for my dog. My dog means the world to me and I can tell Alex cares just as much, treating my pup like her own. She goes above and beyond in making sure my pup has a wonderful time while I’m away. I am so happy to know that my dog will get the perfect care and entertainment (playing outside, walking, tug of war, etc.) when Alex is around! She is extremely knowledgeable, professional, and caring. She is very flexible and reliable and has made the process SO much easier when I need a sitter. I highly recommend Alex!

Safety, trust & environment

I live very close to many trails and parks. I live in a house with a large unfenced yard. There are stairs in my house but your dog would not need to use the stairs if that were ever an issue for them. I also live directly across the street from an awesome trail that we can walk to. I love to drive and would be happy to take your fur babe out anywhere they like to go! I live with my parents and younger sister who are all animal lovers. If your dog were to come to my home they would get plenty of love and affection! I also would love to have my sister or friends join us on our adventures, as everyone in my life would enjoy it just as much as I know your dog would! I currently have two dogs, a toy poodle named Rosie, and a lil mutt named Odin (we believe he’s some mix of dachshund/poodle/jack Russell). Please see photos. Rosie is 14, extremely tame and keeps to herself, Odin is 13, the more playful + spunky one and enjoys other dogs’ company. They are both old and generally unbothered.

Due to the pandemic I have a lot of free time! My availability is flexible and I look forward to being able to play with/care for your pups as frequently as you need! I’m hoping to build a consistent schedule with those looking to do so.
