Pet care experience

Hi, I'm Alex! I have retired my boarding business in Livonia and am now transitioning into in-home sitting and check-ups in Brighton, MI. I'm so excited for this change and meeting new, friendly faces! I have been caring for dogs of all kinds for the past 12 years. It all started with my family and friend's animals, then I realized I couldn't get enough of it and I wanted to spread the love even further! I can bathe, brush, walk, feed, water, help train your pet. The possibilities are endless. If preferred, I can stay in your home a majority of the day with your pets. I have a 7 year old son who is nothing short of amazing with animals of all sorts, but I do prefer to spend nights with him. In 2019, I was very lucky to accept a past client's pet into our home with open arms! This time it's forever! He is a 5 year old German Shepard named Mac. A portion of the profits earned goes to the American Pit Bull Foundation. They take the time to train rescue Pit Bulls to be service dogs for our retired veterans suffering with PTSD and depression. I have extra experience in pets with anxiety, epilepsy, seizures, and ones that may need medication administered. I have also worked with large breeds such as German Shepards, Golden Retrievers, and Pit Bulls my entire life.

I have a 6 month old German Shepherd. Being a young puppy with lots of energy I struggled finding someone that would watch him and give him the attention he needs. This changed when I met Alex. Alex just blew me away with her exceptional care. She really takes the time to understand your dog and help develop positive behaviors. I couldn’t be happier and more confident knowing my pup is in good hands.

My dog loves to go to Alex's. When I pick her up she is so tired she falls a sleep in the car. Alex always sends pictures. I feel comfortable leaving my dog with Alex.

Alex is great with my Black Lab. My dog is pretty hyper and when I pick her up at night she is exhausted. I highly recommend Alex

I cannot say enough good things about Alex. I had a stressful international flight and had problems prior to even leaving. Alex was flexible and helped so much. My dogs went right to her and looked to have a wonderful time there from the pictures she sent to me. This was of great comfort since I just lost one dog two days prior. I am so glad that the dogs had Alex during my absence. I would and have recommended her to others already. Thanks again.
