Friend to All Critters
Pet care experience
Hello! I’m Alex, and I have been raised around dogs my whole life. I'm known to be a friend to any dog through patience and kindness. I have cared for dogs who come from different of backgrounds, including puppy to adults, elders, and rescue dogs. I grew up with my best friend Bubbles, providing her a life full of happiness, plenty of rubs and playtime, and understanding things get harder with age. Over the years, my family and I have worked with multiple strays, reuniting them with their original owners or finding them their forever homes. During high school, I was the go-to pet, house, and child-caregiver within my community. During my college years, I worked with and adopted a shelter dog, Daisy, who suffered from mistreatment caused by her previous owner. Through the love and affection we have shown her, she was able to learn to trust people again. Daisy now works with my grandma, reminding her to wake up to take her antidepressants while living like a queen with plenty of space to run in the country. I also have care experience with rodents, particularly hamsters.
Reviews
Alex took great care of our two dogs. She sent lots of updates and we could tell from the pictures that our two boys were happy and getting lots of love. We would for sure use Alex again!
Can’t rate Alex highly enough! She was patient and gentle with my shy and selective shelter dog, who I had never left more than a couple of days. I felt confident leaving her in Alex’s care for a week. She sent plenty of updates throughout the week so that I knew everything was going okay. Would definitely recommend her for your pups!
Alex was perfect! She updated us constantly with pictures and status updates throughout the stay. One of those pictures is even my screensaver now!! The house was picked up and clean when we returned. Looking forward to having Alex watch our pups again in the future! In fact, we have already booked another stay with her! Thank you Alex!
Alex was able to come watch our dog on very short notice right around the holidays which we really appreciated. She was very communicative and I could tell had great energy around my dog. She sent lots of pictures and updates which was great. We definitely would recommend Alex as a pet/house sitter!

I live in a dog-friendly apartment complexity with private courtyards and is located right next to a dog park. I make sure the dogs I watch have plenty of opportunities to go for walks. If your pup enjoys to play, they will receive plenty of playtime. If they are more laid back and would rather chill, they’ll have their relaxation and space. I will remain attentive to your pet’s communication signals and make sure they feel comfortable while you are away.
Information Alex W. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know the following when you use my services: 1) Is your dog is currently on any medications? If so please describe. 2) Who is their vet is in case of emergency? 3) Does your dog exhibit any behaviors others might find strange but are totally normal for you and them? 4) Is your dog a runner who will bolt right out the door and turn things into a game of chase or do they like to stay close and will listen without a leash? 5) What is their favorite toy?
A typical day
While you’re away, your best friend will be in good hands. I love to go for walks and if they’re down, we’ll both get plenty of exercise! I know where all the good spots to sniff are. I can keep their mind busy, providing them with different routes for each walk. When we’re not walking, we can either chill inside and do our thing or get together and play till their hearts content!
