Alex's Pet Haven
Pet care experience
Welcome to Alex's Pet Haven! As a full-time professional pet sitter, my passion for animals has been deeply ingrained in me since childhood. Growing up, I was surrounded by the love and care of my grandmother, who ran a bustling pet boarding business. Watching her care for as many as 16 dogs at a time left an indelible mark on me, instilling in me a profound understanding of animal behavior and a commitment to providing the same level of love and attention to every pet in my care. With a lifetime of experience and a background in dog training, I am equipped to handle pets of all breeds and sizes. Whether it's puppies or seniors, dogs or reptiles, I welcome them all with open arms. At Alex's Pet Haven, my main goal is to create a safe and nurturing environment that feels like a second home for your beloved companions. I also provide pet transportation services within a designated area. I kindly request reimbursement for the cost of gas used for the trip, excluding compensation for my time or mileage. What We Provide: During their stay at Alex's Pet Haven, your pet's comfort and well-being are our top priorities. We provide a cozy and nurturing environment where they can feel right at home. Here's what you can expect during your pet's stay with us: - A safe and secure home environment with plenty of space to roam and play. - Comfy sleeping accommodations, including beds, blankets, and cozy spots for relaxation. - Access to clean water and nutritious meals, tailored to your pet's dietary preferences and feeding schedule. - Regular exercise and playtime to keep your pet happy, healthy, and entertained. - Daily monitoring and interaction to ensure your pet receives the love, attention, and care they deserve. What to Bring: While we provide everything your pet may need for their stay, we encourage you to bring some familiar items to help them feel more comfortable and at ease: - Your pet's favorite toys, bedding, and blankets to create a sense of familiarity and comfort. - Any special treats or snacks that your pet enjoys as a special treat during their stay. - If your pet requires medication, please provide clear instructions and enough medication for the duration of their stay. By bringing along these familiar items, you can help your pet settle in more easily and make their stay at Alex's Pet Haven feel just like home. We'll do everything we can to ensure that your pet feels loved, comfortable, and cherished throughout their time with us. Thank you for considering Alex's Pet Haven for your pet's care needs. We look forward to welcoming your furry (or not-so-furry) friend into our family!
Reviews
Alex was available on such short notice and I felt very safe to leave my fur pup. She made to send pictures and a video and responded very quickly. I definitely use her services again.
Alex was a great communicator and even made time for a pre-stay visit. Ziggy was happy and well cared for. Thanks so much!
We traveled here from out of state. I was so scared because this was the first time my pup has ever had a sitter but we will definitely be rebooking in the future! Alex was amazing with communication, I received photos and videos and she didn’t hesitate to respond to my many texts! She was also friendly with me having a later arrival than originally planned. Really glad I found her!!
Huge thanks to Alex for providing exceptional care my fur children! Their tailored playdates kept Max's (my dog's) energy high, while Thumper the bunny found solace in a specially crafted zen zone. Daily updates added a personal touch, making Alex more than just a pet sitter but a compassionate caregiver. Highly recommend for top-notch and personalized pet care.

Information Alex S. would like to know about your pet
Before caring for your pet, it's important for me to gather some essential information to ensure their well-being and comfort during their stay at Alex's Pet Haven. This includes basic details such as your pet's name, breed, age, gender, and weight. Additionally, I'll need to know about their health and medical history, including any medical conditions, allergies, medications, and veterinary contact information. It's crucial to be aware of their vaccination status, including the dates of their last vaccinations. Understanding your pet's behavioral traits, such as temperament, quirks, fears, and triggers, helps me provide personalized care tailored to their needs. I'll also need information about their dietary preferences, feeding schedule, and any dietary restrictions or special instructions. Knowing their exercise needs, grooming requirements, training level, and known commands ensures that I can provide appropriate care and support. Lastly, having emergency contacts, special instructions, and any specific routines or preferences helps me create a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable experience for your pet during their time at Alex's Pet Haven.
A typical day
From stimulating play sessions to leisurely strolls, we tailor our activities to suit the needs and interests of each pet. Here are some of the fun activities your furry friend can enjoy with us: Playtime: Whether it's a game of fetch, tug-of-war, or chasing toys, we provide plenty of opportunities for pets to let loose and burn off energy. Outdoor Adventures: With a nearby dog park just a short distance away, we offer supervised outings for pets who enjoy socializing and playing with other dogs. With your permission, we'll take them on fun-filled adventures to the park where they can run, romp, and explore to their heart's content. Nature Walks: For pets who prefer a more leisurely pace, we take leisurely strolls around the neighborhood or nearby trails, allowing them to sniff and explore the sights and smells of the great outdoors. Cuddle Time: Nothing beats a good snuggle session! We offer plenty of one-on-one cuddle time to give pets the love and attention they crave. Brain Games: Mental stimulation is just as important as physical exercise. We engage pets in brain games and interactive toys to keep their minds sharp and boredom at bay. Training Sessions: For pets who enjoy learning new tricks or behaviors, we offer fun and positive reinforcement-based training sessions to help them develop new skills and strengthen their bond with their owners.
