Animals bring my life meaning!
Pet care experience
You can confidently book with me if you'd like your pup to be in a safe, cozy, 1-animal home with a fully fenced backyard :) I don't take more than one booking at a time, so your dog will have a calm environment with all the attention they deserve . Our Aussie Atlas is an extremely intelligent and well-behaved little guy who loves company. While Aussies are generally pretty high-energy, he's great for just matching the energy of whoever he is with. (He's great with cats as well). A little about me: I'm Alex! I'm newer to rover but not to pet care :) Pre-covid I spent a couple of years avidly house-sitting looking after other's fur babies in their homes(I house sat for short-term & longterm stays for dogs and cats). I've moved over to this platform now that I'm no longer looking to house-sit but to offer boarding and daycare in my own home. I adore dogs and animals in general to a fault. I grew up with cats and dogs, and I've even been fully plant-based for over a decade in light of my deep love and reverence for animals. My dream is to open an animal sanctuary one day. I am definitely one of those people who will say hi to someone's dog or kitty before the human :D Your pup or cat will be absolutely adored and loved unconditionally in my care. I genuinely find spending time with animals to be so deeply fulfilling and rewarding, so now that I'm working part-time from home nowadays I'd like to take the opportunity to care for your pup whenever I can :) I live with my partner Blake, who is also an experienced dog owner, trainer, and sitter, and loves animals to no end. He works full time however he is also here to spend time with your furbaby when he has the chance!
Reviews
Alex is wonderful! She is kind and patient and took amazing care of my wiggly and sometimes anxious Boston Terrier. It was like sending him on a play date. I would definitely book dog care with her again.
Alex was amazing with Zeus. She gave him lots of walks and tons of love. She sent me many updates which was perfect.
Alex was so great with diesel, she made me feel so comfortable with leaving him and gave me lots of updates and photos! I highly recommend her and would definitely use her again :) thank you again!!
I cannot begin to express the level of professionalism, communication, care and passion that both Naya and myself received from Alex today. It was my first time using this app last night when I was scrambling to find a sitter for my dog, when I came across multiple profiles to choose from. After filtering through a few, I came across one that caught my eye; Alex and Atlas. I was quite impressed with her prompt response and availability on such short notice; Naya is quite attached to me and gets anxious when I leave her somewhere unfamiliar, but given Atlas and Alex’s warm welcome, she adjusted almost immediately. I was able to focus on my day knowing Naya was with someone I trust. Alex even went the extra mile by sending me updates throughout the day and accommodated me picking Naya up a little later than scheduled. Ten Stars ?

We have a fully fenced spacious backyard. Your pup will remain on the ground level of the house with myself and Atlas(1.5 year old Aussie shepherd) during the day with ample bathroom breaks in the backyard. We live in a beautiful, safe residential area on the border of White Rock. Let me know your pups energy levels/needs and I will accommodate :) I don't like to take other dogs to the dog park (just to ensure your pups safety) unless otherwise encouraged by you (the beautiful Dogwood Park is minutes from my home). I am conscious of dog behavioural psychology and do my best to be aware of body language and provide appropriate care and space when needed. If you need me to look after your kitty, they will remain indoors with me :) I'm comfortable administering oral and topical medications (I haven't given any injections to dogs or cats as of yet).

A typical day
I want to make sure your furbaby has the best and most comfortable time they possibly can with me. I will treat your pup or kitty as I would want mine treated. Under my care they will receive affection, go for walks/plays that accommodate their energy level, will be fed if necessary, assured lots of fresh water is available, and have ample potty breaks.

Availability
I'm currently working part-time from home, so I have lots of time to spend with your furbaby! I have an Aussie(Atlas) at home, so the day usually involves a mixture of a bit of work on my laptop, and lots of time for play and bathroom breaks. I am available at same day notice for boarding, daycare, home visits, and walks. I have a vehicle so I can drive to your home for drop-ins, and I can also pick up your pup or cat and bring them home with me if you need. My prices are set based on the fact that I accept same day bookings, and can offer your furbaby a home with only 1-3 other animals, instead of other options that often have many animals on site which I know can be overwhelming for some pups & kitties.
