Experienced Dog Caretaker
Pet care experience
I have owned and cared for dogs my entire life. As a dog lover I strive to make every animal feel comfortable and happy. Not only do I love dogs, I have vast amounts of experience when it comes to taking care of dogs and their needs. I have cared for dogs with anxiety, cancer, epilepsy, and helped rehab them after accidents and surgeries. I am extremely comfortable and capable with large dogs as I've owned and trained them for years. I'm a fit individual which allows me to help exercise high energy animals and keep up with them. I love playing with dogs to keep them happy and healthy by staying active. If I can keep a dog happy and healthy I'm doing my job. Cats are also in my wheelhouse, I’ve owned them for years and regularly watch them. If they’re timid around new people, not a problem! I don’t force any animal to come to me if they’re uncomfortable and in time everyone warms up.
Reviews
Alex has more experience with animals than anyone I know. She's had dogs, cats, horses, and various others I haven't heard about, I'm sure. On top of all that, she knows how to handle animals who have extreme anxiety, injuries, and other quirks. She treats her animals like her babies and I know she'll do the same for yours

Safety, trust & environment
If I’m watching your animals at your home I abide by your instructions. My goal is for pets to be happy and content so when their owners are away there’s as little anxiety as possible.
Information Alex P. would like to know about your pet
I have no breed preferences though I have more experience with large breeds. If the dog has any medical needs or behaviors I need to know beforehand to ensure everyone’s happiness and safety. If you have cats that like to make a break for the outside, a warning is greatly appreciated!
A typical day
I like taking dogs to a park close by where there's grass and places for them to explore. If the owner gives permission I would take them to a dog park to play fetch or practice agility if it's a more active dog. I’m also happy just to hang out with the animals so they have some calm people time to break up their day.
