Dog lover looking for new friends!

Pet care experience

Hi there! My name is Alex and I live in Howard County with my husband, my 1yo daughter, and our 2 pups. We also have 2 cats that are currently with my father in law, which I absolutely adore. I have grown up around dogs, dogsitting/cat sitting for friends and family, and it always brings me so much joy. I currently work remote full time, but have a flexible schedule, so it is easy for me to go in and out throughout the day. Depending on your needs and my current work schedule, I might be a good fit for you and your fur baby. I would love to be the dog walker or pet sitter you are looking for! Please let me know if you have any questions at all. Thanks, Alex

Alex did a wonderful job with my 2 dogs. We weren’t able to do an in-person meet and greet before the booking, but she did a great job with my nervous chihuahua and even got her to eat (which she usually won’t for others). She took a lot of great photos and provided a detailed description of her visit. 1000% recommend!

Alex was great with drop in visits this week, for our new puppy Dash! He loved spending time with her! Would highly recommend Alex 😊

Alex is bringing my anxious pup out of his shell! She’s super gentle with him. It’s so reassuring to have someone around to help with my dogs in a way that I don’t have to worry about anything!

Alex is absolutely lovely!! She has such a warm and caring energy. I have one very anxious dog, and one hyperenergenetic dog, and Alex was great with both! I'm lucky to have found her in my area and we'll be rebooking for sure.

Safety, trust & environment

I am willing to take your pup on a walk around the neighborhood if that is something that they are used to. I can also let them out in your yard if there is a fence (we do both with my pups, so I am comfortable doing either). I can also feed them if that is necessary. With cats, I am flexible on what you might need.

Information Alex V. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or attention required on walks. One of my pups isn’t always particularly friendly with other dogs, so I am usually careful about introductions to new friends. Let me know if this is the case with yours!

A typical day

My pups love living in Columbia because of all the trails we have access to. We frequently walk the Jackson Pond loop right near my house. I also love to take them for a ride and head over to centennial park for a long adventure.
