Dog mom, love playtime & long walks

Pet care experience

I am a dog mom to Shih Tzu mix and have had both small and large breed dogs (i.e. Golden Retrievers, etc.) my whole life; I have also helped to take care of other pets like cats and fish. I have not only owned dogs and taken care of family pets, but for several years I also was a nanny and the responsibilities of that job were to take care of the families two small dogs; there I fed, played with, walked, and even watched overnight on many occasions. I have also worked with another New Orleans based dog sitting company and the LASPCA. The real reason I want to dog walk is because I believe that dogs are an amazing contribution to your everyday life and it doesn't get better than working with them. I will be able to walk around your neighborhood, or the city, with your best friend and get them out of the house for a little well deserved fun and exercise!

Alex was very accommodating with our dog. Easy drop off and pick up. Would recommend!

Alex was so good with my boy Nash! He and her dog Dublin became fast friends and I can tell from the photos Alex sent me while I was gone that he was comfortable and happy. She was very communicative and personable, and I’d definitely book with her again in the future. Thanks!!

Alex is my first call when I need a dog sitter/walker, I never worry knowing she is taking care of my boys when I can’t. I’m starting to think they like her more than me.

For as long as I've know Alex she has always been fantastic with dogs. I have 2 english bull dogs that she has always been very helpful with. Even when they were being rambunctious she was very patient and was capable of calming them down. Anytime I see her with other people's dogs, I can tell she is very caring and will do whatever they need in order to help them. When I want someone to watch my dogs, she's the girl I go to!

I have my own small breed dog named Dublin. She hangs out with me most of the time, but if needed there is a dog gate barrier and several comfortable rooms to chill out in. This applies to all of the dogs in my care.
