Fluent in Dogish - LOVES all dogs

Pet care experience

Hello! I'm a dependable and mature 29 year old nursing student. My middle name is the "dog whisperer", I am willing to work with the biggest and toughest dogs, hyper dogs, small dogs, high maintenance dogs, special need dogs, puppies and elders. I love dogs, and connect with them quickly. Big, small, fat, tall; I love 'em. I have owned dogs my entire life, several at a time and all sizes and ages. I will not overbook clients or take on more than I can handle. I'm doing this to connect and care for dogs rather than monetary gain. I will care for your dog(s) like the precious family members they are! I have experience with "impossible" cases and dogs who bite, and are difficult. Does your dog not play well with others? Does your dog bite people? I can handle them, safely, gently and carefully. With these special cases I may require a warming period to gain the dogs trust, but I've never met a canine who I couldn't convince to like me. Is your pup a chubby fluff? I can exercise your pooch and help them lose some weight and get in shape. I helped a previous client lose 40lbs! I will be in between semesters shortly and will have the most availability. Life happens and dates are subject to change, however planning ahead will significantly reduce stress on both of us!

Alex has been a lifesaver. The Wednesday walks have become a fast favorite for Blu , Bucc and Bijou. I have never seen all three of my dogs take to someone so quickly.

Was initial meeting with Napoleon. Alex was early and I could tell right away he was very friendly and interested. He was very attentive when I gave instruction and had a calm manner.
