Love walking with happy dogs!

Pet care experience

I have been a pet owner since before I could walk! My family has always had at least one dog in the house, and I love taking dogs on long walks and playing outside. I have also been dog sitting neighbors dogs since I was about 12, so for around 10 years. I have experience with dogs big and small! My family recently adopted two puppies that are now almost four months old, Leroy and Jolene, whom I take on walks, feed, and play with everyday giving me good experience dealing with puppies under the age of 1! I love running around with energetic dogs and hanging out with lazy dogs too!

Alex did a great job. Unfortunately Jasper was pretty anxious and I know her stay was harder than expected. She did a great job and didn't complain.

Alex did an amazing job taking care of my 10 year old Pitbull/boxer mix Biscuit. I was away for the weekend and Alex would stop by, take him out, feed him, and play with him. Biscuit is a very big dog (over 100 lbs.), but she did an amazing job of taking care of him and keeping him in check. She was also very respectful of my house and belonging, even making sure things looked just as they did when I left, and she even sent me a daily update on what they did and how Biscuit was doing. Overall, Alex did an amazing job and I would gladly hire her again the next time I am away.

Alex took excellent care of my senior dog, Sunny, who was 15 at the time. Sunny had a complex diet, including fresh food and various medications, and had difficulty moving around. Alex was incredibly patient and loving, creating an amazing experience for my pup. Not only did she do everything that was asked of her, but she also spent extra time with Sunny outside as she loved sunbathing. I now recommend Alex to all of my dog-owner friends!

Alex has watched my dog, Stevie, multiple times! She provides daily pictures, cute stories, and always makes me feel at ease when I have to leave Stevie. She takes her on walks, plays with her outside, and gives her all the belly rubs she could ever want. Alex will love your dog like her own! I cannot recommend her enough.

With two puppies at home, I will only be doing outside my home dog sitting as our puppies are still discovering people and dogs, but love to play outside and take long walks with dogs! Dealing with puppies, I am used to keeping a very watchful eye over dogs while also giving lots of affection and belly rubs!

Information Alex T. would like to know about your pet

I have dealt with both large and small dogs, dogs with specific behavioral tendencies like jumping or using the bathroom inside, and have dealt with senior dogs that need daily medication. As long as I am aware of these before hand, I am fine with these circumstances!

A typical day

I love playing outside with dogs during the day and taking long walks around the neighborhood or around nearby parks. Nothing like a fun game of catch or just running around! Freedom park is one of my favorite places to take dogs that love smelling new smells and meeting new people!
