Information Alex M. would like to know about your pet

I've cared for pets of all shapes and sizes. I appreciate learning about how my clients have trained their pets so that I can reflect their choices and help maintain a stable and healthy environment and reduce the stress a pet may feel in the absence of their family.

A typical day

The Snuggler. I'm affectionate and patient, and will take the time to help your pup feel comfortable and well cared for until you return. When staying in my home your dog(s) will have access to a grassy enclosed backyard and will enjoy walks through safe sidewalk streets in a very dog-friendly neighborhood.

Pet care experience

NOTE: I only watch one pet family at a time. Your babies get my full attention with play, walks, and belly rubs. Hi there! I love big dogs and little dogs, pups and dear older furry family members. I take special care to spend time on walks, snuggling, rough housing, playing fetch, or just hanging out giving belly rubs... whatever your dog needs to feel well cared for and secure. Much of my other work is done from my computer so I am happy to just be around and help your dog(s) not feel lonely while you are away. I'm also available for special needs dogs, dogs recovering from surgery, those needing monitoring, or providing a quiet place away from your other furry family members to recuperate. Let's discuss your needs. No need to "kennel" your furry family member. Whether in your home or mine, I'll take good care of your furry loved one!

Alex truly deserves more than five stars. Our pups got into some mischief (thanks to the cat), and she swiftly intervened. Without a moment’s hesitation, she rushed them to the nearest open vet to ensure their well-being. She then went above and beyond by returning multiple times beyond the scheduled visits to ensure they received the medication prescribed. To top it off, she prepared chicken and rice for them, as the medication required a bland diet. I am utterly grateful for Alex’s exceptional care and kindness. She truly is an amazing person. Thank you, Alex!!

Alex did a great job! She was punctual and attentive to my female cat. She was also sending pertinent images of my cat on daily basis, which put me at peace while I was traveling. My cat liked her, as she was almost instantly purring at the first introductory meeting. Highly recommended.
