I love taking care of all animals!

Pet care experience

I have worked in boarding/daycare facilities and have been in pet care since I was 10. I love all kinds of animals especially dogs. I do have one of my own and he is very friendly and would love some playmates to keep him company!

Alex was absolutely incredible!! Eris is a very shy pup and Alex took it all in stride and allowed her to warm up. She went out of her way to make sure our picky eater got all of her meals, took them out extra and spent time snuggling them and sent multiple updates! Absolutely incredible and would highly recommend.

Alex did a great job tending to our fur babies while we were on spring break. We would use her again and we would recommend her to others.

Information Alex K. would like to know about your pet

I need to know feeding schedules as well as if they are resource aggressive towards anything (I.e. toys, food, etc.) Any medication that needs to be administered as well as their schedule for that.

A typical day

There are many parks located by my house so I would love to take the pups to one. I am currently in school for getting my training certificate and a degree in animal behavior science so if you would like me to work with any training for your dog I would be happy to do so.(extra fees will apply)

My whole life has been animals and taking care of them. I have a dog of my own and I love taking him to the park or on hikes and walks. I’m very punctual with feeding and medication scheduled as I’m aware of how important that our animals are cared for and well tended to.
