Hi I’m Alex, animal lover & student
Pet care experience
Since I was little I have always loved animals. I got my first dog when I was in 7th grade, and it has been a love story ever since. In addition to helping friends and family out with puppies (training and watching), I have worked with big dogs, little dogs, scared dogs, happy dogs, dogs with special needs such as those who have faced abuse, and whole packs of dogs (I have one friend with 7 chihuahuas, including puppies, that I help watch on occasion. I love to take them to the park, go on hikes if possible, or just play around in the backyard. In the end, it’s all about making sure their needs are met and that they feel safe, loved, and well cared for.
Reviews
I had the opportunity to see Alex and her love for animals when I lived with her this past year. She was always willing and able to caretake for dogs in her life. She had so much joy and love in doing so. she is a responsible, attentive, and very dog centered person. I trust that the dogs she works with will be very well cared for.
Alex has been a wonderful caretaker for my cat. She is reliable and kind, and doesn't mind that he can be a bit aggressive at times. She is always observant of his string eating habits, and has been able to care for him even when he's sick. Could not recommend her enough

Unfortunately, I cannot provide home services were I currently reside. Due to the requests of my landlord and roommates, and the terms of my lease unfortunately do not permit it.
Information Alex K. would like to know about your pet
It is important to know if any dogs under my care require special attention in any way. For example, if they are particularly nervous, need medication, don’t get along well with other dogs or people, or have a tendency to run off, I need to know so that I can make sure they stay safe.
A typical day
Whenever I walk a dog, I like to engage with them and our surroundings depending on their needs. If they’re particularly outgoing, I will slowly introduce them to other dogs or bring them to dog parks where they can play. If they enjoy toys, I would play fetch or tug of war with them, or if they’re a more nervous dog, I’ll take them to a peaceful park & I might try to engage with them more one on one to make sure they feel safe. It’s all about their individual needs.
Services
Alex can watch in your home
Availability
I’m currently working and I’m school, but I’m very flexible and dedicated to making things work. I have the weekends free, Monday evenings after 3:30, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings for a short period anytime after 1:30, Thursdays after 5pm, and Friday evenings after 3pm. I can, however, be free any day for house sitting, so long as you are ok with 4-5 hour periods of me being at school or work during the weekdays. The week of the 15th I will have much more free time, then I will be gone until the beginning of January to visit family.
