Calm, nurturing, attentive.

Pet care experience

I have raised many wonderful dogs and cats over the past 20 years but currently do not have any furry family members so client animal care is a wonderful way to fill that space in my heart, making sure that your special someone receives all the attention and love they deserve and enjoy. I am extremely reliable and patient with all temperaments of pets and have experienced most every kind of dog across the breeds and ages. Nothing really surprises me much anymore with animal or animal parent behavior, I love meeting new clients and hearing all about the unique and special personalities you all have raised and loved. I love keeping pretty local in the area as community strength and participation is hugely important to me and I love how I have gotten to know so many interesting and lovely people all the way. Looking forward to hearing from you.

Alex has been a godsend for our high maintenance rescue dog! He’s been patient with her weird reactive self and is now her fave. He also squeezed us in for emergency walks when our dog sitter fell through and we were out of the country!

Alex was a tremendous help with pet sitting my pup for the weekend. I gave him a bare minimum set of care instructions and he went above and beyond to make my dog as comfortable as possible. Thank you, Alex!
