Information Alex R. would like to know about your pet

Just let me know any quirks/needs your dog might have so I can accommodate them as best as possible. I do not have any breed preferences, but your dog must be good with other dogs because I’m always taking care of a few at a time and can’t have any aggression.

A typical day

I love making sure your dog gets plenty of physical and mental activity throughout the day so they are not bored, whether it be exercise or playtime! Also if they are comfortable in the car I may take them to the park.

Love is my specialty!

Pet care experience

I’ve been caring for others’ animals since I was around 12, starting with basic dog walking and eventually doing boarding/house sitting. I have the most experience taking care of nervous/anxious dogs but can accommodate most any care request!
