Pet care experience

Very-Important-Pup care 🐾

I’m here to care for your VIP! I provide attentive, structured, and compassionate care tailored to your dog’s unique personality and needs. My approach is rooted in connection and understanding. Through my work with dogs and horses, I’ve learned to truly listen to animals and respond thoughtfully. I’m especially comfortable with shy or anxious dogs who need patience and gentle confidence-building, as well as bright pups who thrive with mental enrichment and purposeful engagement. Caring for my soul dog, Milo, into his senior years also gave me hands-on experience with medications, special routines, and the gentle art of supporting aging pets. I volunteer at the Oregon Humane Society, where I work with a wide variety of dogs and continue expanding my knowledge of canine body language, behavior, and the full range of personalities. I’m also certified in R+ (positive reinforcement) dog training so I am happy to incorporate light training and skill-building into your pup’s stay. My home is shared with my husband and best suited for dogs who enjoy a low-key environment. While I don’t have size restrictions, I’m not the best match for dogs with very strong or highly physical energy levels.

Alex is AWESOME. She took incredibly good care of our two doggos. She was super communicative and she left the house virtually spotless. Will absolutely be asking Alex to hang with our pups again!

Alex took such great care of Olive. I didn’t have to worry about her at all, which says everything. So grateful to have found someone so reliable and kind.

I was nervous leaving my senior dog, but Alex completely put me at ease. Great communication, lots of updates and photos, and Kai came home calm and happy. That tells me he felt safe. Looking forward to booking again.

Alex was great. She was very calm and engaging with our 6 month puppy. I would definitely book her again in the future.

Schedule

I work from home so my availability is flexible and generous and I can spend the majority of the day with your pup. I do step out for up to 3 hours on most days to care for my mare, so pups should be comfortable alone for that window.

Safety, trust & environment

My home has a fully fenced yard with plenty of grassy space for play, and I live in a quiet, walkable neighborhood just a few blocks from Pier Park. When your dog stays with me, they’ll have free rein of the house, lots of supervised backyard time, and a cozy bed in my office if they feel like being my work buddy. I live with my husband, but no other people or animals at the house while your pup is here. If I’m caring for your pup at your home, I’m happy to set up a remote office (just need wifi access) and spend the day on their turf, keeping them company in their own space.

A typical day

I tailor each day to your dog’s needs, preferences, and energy level. That might mean long active walks or short, gentle strolls, pup cup runs to the coffee shop, or visits to the local biscuit station. We might jog around the park, relax on a blanket, explore new neighborhoods, or even head out for a Forest Park hike if your pup’s up for it (and the human gives permission). At home, we’ve got plenty of fun too—backyard soccer, fetch, or frisbee, enrichment games, puzzle toys, cuddle sessions, belly rubs, and even “talent shows” to learn new tricks. Whatever makes your dog happy, that’s the plan.

I always aim to follow your dog’s usual routine as closely as possible, so they feel safe and comfortable. I’d love to know about any special needs, preferences or accommodations. My top priority is keeping your pup happy, secure, and well cared for.
