Safety, trust & environment

Once I know your location, I'll research local dog parks and community trails to take your dog for enjoyable walks. All dogs love outdoor exercise! Plus, after a fun day of running and making friends, they’ll certainly appreciate a treat (or two)!

Information Alex M. would like to know about your pet

I’d love to learn about your pet’s personality, whether they’re energetic and how they interact with other dogs or pets. Additionally, knowing their feeding schedule is important. I always ask for any key information you think I should be aware of, such as any medical needs, behavioral quirks, and favorite toys or activities. This helps ensure I provide the best care possible!

A typical day

nice long stroll in the neighborhood, especially if there’s a trail or local park to get extra exercise & energy out! I always ask if I’m allowed to bring treats, so the dog(s) get rewarded for acting accordingly without her/his owner around.

Pet care experience

I am a dedicated animal lover with extensive experience caring for a variety of pets. Growing up, I had not just the usual cats and dogs, but also multiple caged animals. I’m skilled in changing food, water, and bedding for those pets. I offer a meet-and-greet at your home so you and your furry friend(s) can feel comfortable with me. Feel free to message me about the services I provide. I’ll even do a mini photo shoot of your pet after spending quality time with them! Additionally, I became TNR certified in 2023 to help feral cats. I have reliable transportation, so I can easily come to you. I can't wait to meet you and your special pet!

This was my first time having someone stay and take care of my puppy and cat. With Alex it was a wonderful experience. Her communication was excellent. She sent updates and photos of my pets. Alex made my anxiety go away and I could enjoy my weekend away.
