Loving, caring furever friend fun!

Pet care experience

Hello, my name is Alex! I would love to take care of your pet. I ABSOLUTELY ADORE animals and am always available to give them my FULL attention. I spend my days at work but am flexible before and after and can accommodate long/overnight visits as well! I have been a dog lover since I was a little girl and have always grown up with pets in the house. In addition, my fiancé and I have 1 pup named Chase. He is about 60 lbs of pure joy. He LOVES playtime and cuddles and is very friendly with other dogs. I am comfortable administering medications to your dog and have experience with special needs. Please let me know if your dog requires any special attention or you would like to add on anything extra to the visit! Looking forward to meeting your doggies!

Alex and her boyfriend were the ideal care-takers for Cody! It was my first time using a service like this, and I was extremely nervous. But luckily Alex made the entire experience easy and stress-free. We first had a meet-n-greet to make sure that Cody and Alex got along well. He seemed very comfortable around her and right at home. While staying with Alex, she updated me daily with photos and letting me know how he was doing. She made sure to get a thorough list of his needs and behaviors so that he could be well looked after. He seemed happy and healthy when I picked him up, and I know I made the right choice in choosing Alex to watch Cody. We both say thank you and highly recommend her!

I was very weary to leave my dogs with a pet sitter because I never have and because one of my dogs has epilepsy, but Alex made my husband and I feel comfortable from the beginning. She was very thorough with writing down instructions during our meet and greet was confident that she could handle taking care of them. She even took them for a day while I was still in town, to reassure me. She sent us picture updates throughout our trip and everything went very smoothly. I will definitely be using her any time we travel without our fur babies. Thanks Alex :)

Alex has watched over my dog over the years and I think she is an excellent sitter! I would DEFINITELY recommend her to anyone. She is extremely caring, gentle and patient with dogs and always seems to connect with them. She always sent pictures and videos during my dog's stay so I always knew he was being taken care of!

Alex provided dog sitting and walking services for my dog Brook a couple times since I got her in 2014.  Brook is a very energetic, large, 1 year old American Bulldog Mix. While watching over my dog Alex proved to be capable and responsible as well as a good communicator.  During this time, I had no issues with the services she provided.  She was always on time and did a great job keeping me informed of how Brook was feeling and behaving. I recommend anyone that is looking for a pet sitting/walking service to rely on Alex for these services.  I was fully satisfied and felt confident that my dog was in the best hands. Sincerely, Jessica

Information Alex R. would like to know about your pet

Before sitting a pet, I have a question list I will email to you to learn about your pet. I do not have any breed preferences. It can be stressful for a pet to be in an unknown place so it is number one priority to make sure they and you feel safe and happy during their stay!

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks I will take your dog on walks at the local parks, around the neighborhood. Your furry friends will have a great time in my care! I know how stressful it can be for a pet to have their owner away, so I make it my top priority to make sure that they feel safe and have a good time while you are away. With dogs that I sit, I always make sure we go on plenty of walks (or spend lots of time cuddling if they like to relax more!) I will also send plenty of updates so you can see how they are doing and so you can have a worry free time!
