Dog lover extraordinaire!

Pet care experience

There is nothing in this world I love more than dogs. I rescued my first dog, Dobby, a 6-year-old terrier mix about 3 years ago. We added Sophia, a 6-year-old terrier mix, to our family about a month ago. Both of our dogs have chronic medical conditions, so I am comfortable with any special requirements your dog may have, whether it be medication, dietary restrictions, etc, I will make sure your dog is healthy and happy. In my free time, I volunteer at a dog kennel. I have gained experience handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments. Every dog has his or her own personality, and I will make sure to cater to your dog's needs. Every dog deserves to be loved and spoiled. I will treat your dog as if he or she were my own!

I unexpectedly adopted a dog a month before I went on vacation and was feeling horrible leaving her so soon after adopting her. Alex made me feel more comfortable with the prospect and the pictures I got during my vacation definitely helped my guilty conscience. When I returned I am not 100% sure my dog wanted to go home. I think she may have been happy just to stay with Alex and her family! Thank you Alex for taking care of my baby and making her part of your family...if only for a short while!

Alex and Derek were wonderful caregivers to our two girls. They administered some medication they needed with accuracy and sent us pictures almost every day of the walks and adventures they went on. The girls were happy and healthy on our return. I really can’t give them anything but the highest rating of satisfaction. Thank you Alex!

Yogi loved Alex! :). She (and Derek) are both so nice. Yogi is only 4 months old, and they were so understanding. Alex obviously loves dogs and seems very willing to adapt to the needs of the dog that she is caring for. She also sent me lots of updates and pictures so I never worried about Yogi. We will definitely use Alex next time we need a dog sitter!

Alex is absolutely wonderful! We met her and her two darling dogs before we left our Butchie overnight. It was immediately apparent what a caring, concerned and loving dog person she is. I was very worried about leaving our rescue of 6 months because he is a runner if given the opportunity. Alex's personality and concern for the problem made me immediately at ease. Alex started sending us updates and pictures about 20 minutes after I left him and continued throughout the evening. Butch had a wonderful time with her and playing with Sophia, Dobby and all their toys. We felt completely at ease through his stay. We highly recommend her and will definitely book with her again. Butchie enjoyed it so much, I wish we could take him there once a week for fun! She is a definite 5 STAR +! Thank you so very much, Alex!

Information Alex L. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know how often your dog gets walks, what treats he/she enjoys, if there are any special comforts he/she likes, what stressed your dog out, and any dietary restrictions. Plus anything else you want me to know; the more I know about your dog the better. No breed restrictions- I love 'em all! Let me know how often you want updates. When I go out of town there is no such thing as too many photos of my babies because it makes me feel better to know they are being well taken care of. I’m happy to send pictures and updates as much as you want!

A typical day

We love walking around the neighborhood and at the MetroParks. We also love playing fetch and tug of war- we have a whole tub of toys to share! I also like running/hiking, if your dog has lots of energy to burn. My dogs love to snuggle so we can spend lots of time hanging on the couch if your dog is more of a snuggle bug.
