Safety, trust & environment

I’m hyper aware of my surroundings with my own pets. With the trust that other people place in me for their pets my awareness is only heightened, I will care for your animal as if they were my own.

Information Alex G. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your animals have any special preferences, any behavioral quirks or issues to pay attention to, favorite treats, favorite toys, favorite routes to walk, etc. so that they and I can start off on the right foot.

A typical day

Dogs need walks. I love heading out with them, exploring our surroundings, and engaging in positive experiences all around. Cats are in equal need of stimulation, and I love to play with them. Hand off their favorite toys and I’m good to go!

Happy to be your pet's "Cool Aunt"!

Pet care experience

Hi there, I'm Alex! I'm an animal lover, and I'd rather dog-watch than people-watch. I've had dogs and cats all my life, I’m the proud Auntie to Rocky, a three-legged, red-haired, 70-pound Rescue-hound, boy wonder. I've got lots of experience and have worked with dogs of all kinds, easy-going and fractious, large and small, puppies and seniors, independent and those in need of a little extra loving. I am so happy to work on your dog's behavior, help train or reinforce previous training, and to provide the care and love they all deserve. I so look forward to meeting and making new friendships with all.

Alex arrived on time and was very sweet to me and my Frenchie. With one meeting I can confidently trust Alex with my dog. I highly recommend Alex and will definitely be using her as my primary dog walker when I am not around.

Alex was awesome! She arrived right on time & was very sweet & friendly. She did such a good job with our puppy, and gave him some much needed attention & playtime.

I can say without question that any pet would be lucky and thrilled to have Alex as a caregiver. Why? Because I have seen with my own eyes how much love, care, concern and compassion she has for not just her own pets, but others' pets as well. For example, several years ago her employer's dog was in the care of someone who called Alex over the weekend. It became clear very quickly that the dog was not in safe hands or a safe area. Alex moved heaven and earth to arrange transportation so she could take possession of the dog and ensure his safety, and then spent 3 additional hours with the dog at an emergency vet . She didn't hesitate for any of this because that is how much Alex loves animals and cares about their well-being. She also has a special ability to bond and connect with almost any dog or cat I've seen her come into contact with, and she especially takes great pride when she is able to help nurture a young pet and see it grow. I have had no hesitations trusting her with my own pet when I am not around, and I can say with 100% certainty you will not either if you turn to Alex for any of your pet care needs.
