Fostered 8 pets and counting!

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m a USC student about to graduate, and I’ve been caring for multiple pets throughout college :). I’ve grown up with a dog and fostered 3 dogs and 5 cats/kittens! (including a dog who was previously abused and was scared of humans at first) I also have had experience bottle feeding baby animals, I understand how grueling waking up every 3 hours to feed them can be haha. Should you be willing to allow me to take care of your pet you can rest assured they’d be in the hands of someone who absolutely loves and cares for animals! 🥳

Alex took on my last minute request to look after my 2 cats for extended period time and she did great! My shy cats opened up to her quickly and she made sure my place was kept tidy.

Alex was AMAZING with our little oliver! She was very kind, communicative, and patient. Answered all of my questions and made us feel confident enough to know that oliver was well taken care of. Alex also sent over pictures/updates often which was much appreciated. Would absolutely book her again in the future!!

Alex is was just honestly amazing, I’m new to rover my pup is a year and eight month Rottweiler and I feel like as rockie’s first rover she definitely tackled it. Rockie is a very high energy pup that she managed to get to sleep in the car ride home! Thank you for your time and patience with my big pup Alex!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in an apartment but our complex is next to a walking neighborhood and for night time walks there are many courtyards within a safe complex! When we’re going on walks, rest assured your pet will be walking in a safe environment with me. My home has welcomed many dogs before, and they’ve all had room to play around or snuggle on the couch with me. :) Should you choose to place your trust in me I can send you as many or as minimal updates as you’d like, depending on your texting style. But rest assured I WILL be sending you many adorable pictures of your pets :)

Information Alex W. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if you’re okay with me leaving the dog at home for a few hours each day for classes, (not applicable during summer) and I’d love to know about your dog’s favorite type of play and or toys! Also, I have experience administering medication to animals so please feel free to reach out to me about that as well, if your dog needs special care!

A typical day

This one pretty much varies based on the dog, the dog size, and owner preference! If I’m working with a big dog I love being active outside with them and I’ve noticed it helps them get more relaxed in a new environment like my home very quickly, since they have to find a comfortable place to nap right away, haha. With smaller dogs, I’ve noticed engaging with them in play and snacks in my home helps them loosen up, since too much of strenuous exercise outside could in turn be too much for them! But I’ll definitely see what the owner prefers and cater to the dog’s personality or tendency! I also like letting them choose their own couch blanket hehe.
