Pet care is a natural part of my week. I work from home three days a week and am home on weekends, which allows for lots of attention and playtime. I live in a non-smoking household with one other person and have a fully fenced yard that’s perfect for safe outdoor time.

I have a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor time and live in a quiet, non-smoking home with one other adult. Pets are never left unattended outside, and I’m happy to follow any specific routines or crate your dog if preferred. I always aim to create a calm, secure environment where your pet feels right at home.

Information Alex S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any routines, quirks, or special needs so I can provide the best care possible. I’m comfortable following detailed instructions and love working with dogs who are playful, shy, or need a little extra patience. Your pet’s comfort and safety are always my priority.

A typical day

I love to keep dogs active and happy. We’ll go on daily walks, play in the yard, enjoy enrichment games indoors, and even visit a nearby park for a change of scenery. I also make time for cuddles, belly rubs, and downtime to help your pup feel calm and safe.

Love and Care for your pets

Pet care experience

I have been caring for dogs and cats for over 10 years, including feeding, walks, playtime, check ins, overnight care, and giving pets the attention they need while their owners are away. I am patient, reliable, and very observant with animals, which helps me notice changes in behavior, appetite, energy, or comfort level quickly. I genuinely love animals and treat every pet like they are my own. I understand that every pet has a different routine, personality, and comfort level, so I always follow owner instructions closely and make sure pets feel safe, cared for, and comfortable. I am happy to help with walks, feeding schedules, medication reminders, litter boxes, senior pet care, puppy care, and regular photo updates.

Alex was great with Otto. She was very communicative and sent lots of pictures and updates throughout Otto’s stay. Very trustworthy and highly recommend.

Alex was amazing! My dog has bad separation anxiety but Alex kept him calm and relaxed. He was in a super good mood when I got home. I would recommend Alex to anyone looking for a sitter!
