Pet care experience
Hours: Drop-off: Anytime after 7:30 AM Pick-Up Anytime before 8 pm I’ve been with dogs all my life, providing a clean safe and loving environment for my animals is always been part of family core, treat animals with respect, my own 2 small dogs 18lbs.his name Jumpy, & 34lbs her name Snooki, husband, & 2 boys 14 and 17, love spending time with dogs, its therapeutic. As a family we all pitch in to care of them and keep them happy, they will never be alone or without water or food, will spent time at pool or getting them active inside our home if too hot outdoors. Love to interact with them get to know their personalities and energy levels, dogs are so smart, when they are challenge they stay healthy long term. I walk all dogs if weather not too hot, one of my favorite is watching them swim, I think it’s amazing when a dog is not afraid to have fun in the water, kiddie pool or splashing water. Have a fence pool and grass area, doggie park (Paloma) walking trail and areas where they can exercise. All dogs enjoy a special treat from time to time, I love to spoil them. All treats are non GMO no by products or weird addedives, I read all ingredients before buying, I am big in nutrition, I have knowledge of fillers and chemicals, Im very selective when it comes to food for my family and animals. I am eager to take any size dog depending on their personality and chemistry, I always want to make sure we are a match before confirming, I strongly advise a meet and greet with pet owner's to make a smart decisions. I don't take Dobermans or Pitbulls nor Cats. What separates me from other dog sitters? I have a very different approach when watching all dogs, I go the extra mile specially when they come down with a symptom, I am able to discern when something is wrong, communicate with owner promptly, I always make sure dogs I take, won't be distress or have anxiety separation, they are surrounded with positive energy. I will always make sure they walk, keep them busy to keep their brain stimulated & happy while their are away. Looking forward to meet YOU and greet YOUR Awesome BFF! I do take last minute request as longs profile is fully completed with pictures of owners/dogs. P.S ALL DOGS WILL DRINK ONLY FILTER WATER :) NOTE: Please always make sure your Profile has pictures of YOU and your DOG.

Alex went above and beyond taking care of our two elderly semi-deaf and blind dogs. I had left on a trip and had my dogs booked with another local pet sitter on rover who ended up being a nightmare- neglecting our dogs, having over booked herself, and demanding we picked up the dogs less than 24 hours after we dropped them off and left on a 10 day vacation… Rovers customer service was so helpful in finding me a better match and someone who could remedy the situation since I was 1,000’s of miles away. They screened pet sitters whom they thought would be a better fit and Alex was their #1! Once I connected with Alex I felt confident that it would all work out. Although it wasn’t an ideal situation not being able to meet and greet from the start, I could tell from her energy over the phone and the honest and upfront information she shared that she was more than experienced with elderly dogs and all dogs in general and more than willing to give my dogs a comfortable and cozy place to stay. Alex also went to pick up our dogs to bring her to her home which was such a relief knowing all those details were taken care of. The anxiety they endured at the home prior left them extremely anxious and within 2 days of being with Alex they calmed down completely. Alex asked us questions about our dogs that only a truly experienced dog person and pet lover would ask… she even asked about nicknames or words she could speak that would help our dogs to feel more at home… such a simple question but really only someone who truly cares and understands their pets comfort would ask this… and of course that worked well and my little Suzie who loves to be called “Mama”, “Mamita”, and “little sushi”, felt right at home. Alex was so good about sending updates including photos and videos every single day- she even offered to do a FaceTime so we could stay connected with our babies. Alex was honestly our savior and in addition to creating a loving environment for our pets we now have a local sitter who we can depend on in the future when we need someone to care for our dogs.
This was Ridley’s first time at Alex’s house and he seemed to have a good time. He was very relaxed when we picked him up- not stressed at all. We were kept updated all day with texts, pictures and videos. We will definitely use Alex again for day care but also when we need care for several days.
Alex was great!! She sent videos and pictures. Extremely HAPPY!
Great service! Will use again!
