Pet care experience
My pup River and I love dogs of all shapes and sizes and are constantly looking to grow our pack and make new friends. River was a wild puppy who has matured into a well-mannered 7 year old through lots of training and hard work (Canine Good Citizen Certified), and we enjoy helping other dogs along their own obedience pathways. We like to meet dogs where they are at and try to help them be their most comfortable, happiest selves! If a dog is nervous, I will move slowly and demonstrate to them that I am a trustworthy friend. If a dog is a mess of energy, we will exercise it out of them! Every dog has different wants and needs and I find joy in figuring out what those are and forging meaningful bonds. I am comfortable with dogs of all sizes and most temperaments. Oftentimes, the more “challenging” dogs, as advertised by their owners, are the most fun ones to win over, even if it takes time. I just love dogs! River and I look forward to getting to know your dog's unique personality. My partner and I both work full-time from home, so we have a lot of flexibility. We have a fully fenced backyard with a dog-door that can be open or closed depending on your desire. River and I spend every day together and we are looking forward to adding your pup to the mix! When leaving the house, I am totally comfortable with crating dogs if they have been crate-trained. I like to adapt my services to the dog, so whatever works best for them!
Reviews
Alex was so great about booking for boarding. Alex let me know another booking had came through and asked my permission before excepting it. Alex kept me updated through the weekend stay and sent lots of pictures. So greatful to have found them!!
Alex was a perfect Rover connection for me — prompt, clear, and communicative. She sent a bunch of pictures of my dog thoroughly enjoying himself — wrestling with another puppy and on a wonderful foothills hike. Drop off and pick up were easy, and I loved that Alex and her partner helped me with training.
Memey clearly had a great day!
We love having Alex watch Bleu. Normally Bleu is a nervous dog. But with Alex, he eagerly runs up to her door and immediately starts to snuggle with her.

Information Alex O. would like to know about your pet
Is the dog aggressive? Any fears/anxieties? How does your dog do with other dogs? Certain habits/routines? Does your dog like to play? What kind of exercise and daily routine are they used to?
A typical day
Walks, runs, fetch, dog park, swim, hikes, playing, cuddling, lounging, and playing with my pup. I will try to tailor the activities to the dog's abilities and desires. I have experience with dog training and would love to integrate that as well to help your dog be even more well behaved in a variety of environments.
