I love pets of all sizes! (:

Pet care experience

Hi my name is Alex! I am a very experienced Veterinary Technician Assistant. I have been watching pets since I was 12 off and on from coworkers, to my family, family friends and neighbors. I used to work for a doggy daycare and boarding facility full time for 2 years. I am comfortable administering medications, as well as giving injections for pets. I have pet sat birds, fish, dogs, cats, and horses. I have also watched ill animals that have had renal failure and heart disease that required a lot of care and administering medications. I have had experience with puppies all the way to senior dogs. I do board up to 3 dogs at a time. Your babies would be treated like my babies. I have small kids who love to play with our animals and I know they would have the best time making your babies feel welcomed too (:

Alex was very communicative, sent lots of pictures, spoiled my babies rotten and I could not be happier with the care she and her loving family provided. Pretty sure Bane didn't even want to come home. 😅 Thank you so much!

Information Alex S. would like to know about your pet

The information I need from you ahead of time is if there is any aggression: food aggression, dog/cat, fence, strangers Any medications they need? How many times a day? Amounts? Feeding amounts. How much? How often? Are they okay with strangers entering your home? Are they okay with other pets or children? How are they on a leash? Do they have good recall? Are they chewers? Have they had accidents in the home before? Do they have a high prey drive/are they good with kittens and adult cats? Are they crate trained?

A typical day

I love walking even if it’s just around the neighborhood, finding somewhere to take them on a trail is something I can do as well (:
