Safety, trust & environment

If the dog is younger with lots of energy we will do long walks (I do go on the occasional run as well!) and lots of toy time and entertainment. If it’s an older dog, i’ll be making sure they’re comfortable and have all of their needs met, while still making sure they get up and move their body around.

Information Alex O. would like to know about your pet

Age and/or energy level of the dog. If they have any medications I would need to help with. If they’re shy and/or agressive at all. How they do around other cats/dogs.

A typical day

Plenty of walks in many different new places. play time in between walks! We will eat dinner together and snuggle on the couch before bed :)

Pet care experience

I have been working at VCA Brown Animal Hospital as a Veterinary Assistant since May 2024. I have lots of knowledge pertaining to keeping pets safe, happy and healthy. I have been dog/cat sitting since I was 15 years old for family/friends and have always loved spending time with animals.

Alex was great with our dog Casey and she appeared to be very well cared and content for while we were away for our trip! We also appreciated Alex’s communication and her updates throughout the trip.
