Loving energetic past vet assistant

Pet care experience

I grew up in Northern California (near the beautiful Lake Tahoe) and was constantly surrounded by animals. We always always had at least two dogs in our home (not to mention cats, turtles, etc) I recently moved back to Truckee from living in Bend, or the past 6 years. I am currently a freelance photographer and illustration artist, which means I can create my own schedule! I am an ex veterinarian assistant ( I did this for two years from 2020-2022) which included, Iv injections, dealing with extremely difficult animals, surgery tech, spay and neuter clinics, farm animal care, etc. Rest assured your pup/ critter will have an experienced loving care taker for their every need. I can comfortably take care of dogs, cats, horses, peacocks, sheep, and chickens should you require this! I can absolutely help with training, exercise, medication administration, etc. *Please let me know your pets requirements before booking i.e. How many times they need to be let out daily, how much exercise required, etc.

Alex was a huge help with my dog Benji during the ski day. She took him on a really long walk and was really responsive. Will book again!

I recently booked Alex last minute, and I couldn't be happier with the experience. She was incredibly friendly with my dogs, and their well-being was clearly a top priority. I appreciate her reliability in a pinch, and I would definitely book her again.

Alex was great! She got the dogs out on long adventures every day and they were pooped when we got home. Can't wait to have her watch them again!

Information Alex U. would like to know about your pet

How friendly they are with other animals, how good is their recall, how they are with car rides? Is there any leash or food aggression?

A typical day

I am very active and, depending on the dog's energy level, I would be happy to take them on a run, walk, or hike! (if they prefer to just hang out and cuddle I can do that too!)
