Pet care experience

Growing up I had multiple dogs (2-3) at once and even when I went to college I balanced having my first puppy and college. I have experience training with commands and tricks, and I would love to help you teach your dog anything you want it to know. I have also worked with deaf dogs so I’m willing to learn their signs and care for them. I’m athletic so I love taking dogs on long walks/hikes or to the dog park for an hour or two. I can also take your dog for daily runs to help tire them out. I’ve dog sat for many friends and their dogs always have an enjoyable time. I would love to care for your dog and help ease the process of having a busy schedule or going on vacation. I work part-time currently, M/T/Th 12-6. My schedule is flexible and my boss even lets me take calm/relaxed dogs with me to work. So they could get even more socialization time if needed. I have a studio apartment, I take my own dog on a mile walk in the morning, and then plenty of pee breaks throughout the day. We end the day with being at the dog park for an hour or two. I can do daily runs and teach new tricks. It’s been shown that it tires a dog out more to learn new tricks than taking them out on walks to tire them out. They would also have dog socialization with my dog who is a big sweetheart and very laid back. She loves to play with toys and take naps.

Alex has taken care of several of our dogs, all of whom were rescues. She is kind and loving, and expects obiedience without being harsh. She grew up around dogs which shows in her level of comfort with them. She's amazing!

Alex does very well with dogs, whether it is training them or caring for them she is most definitely the best choice when it comes to dealing with the little critters.

Alex M. has a penchant for pets that's hard to described, yet you know it when you see it. Her warmth and exuberance translates into playfulness, kindness, respect, and a commitment to a pet’s well-being…, plus, pets love her! As a pet grandma, I have known Alex for many years. I’ve watched in amazement, as she’s interacted with my 3 grand-dogs, a Golden, a Jack Russel wanna-be, and a Shih Szu/English Spaniel mix. Alex easily adapts to the personality, temperament, size, and energy level of each dog, and with gentle firmness makes known who is in charge. She is also very observant of the individual needs of each pet. So whether pet sitting, or dog walking, I have never had the slightest concern for any of my pets when they are under Alex M’s care. She is also responsible, punctual, and polite, so it’s a win-win for my pets, and a win-win for me!
