Pets are My Favorite People to Meet

Pet care experience

I’m Alex, and I’m a 26-year-old Graphic Design student. I look forward to getting to know your pets whether it be during regular or spontaneous walks, dropping in for potty breaks and some well-deserved play time, or staying overnight to provide a sense of companionship. I’m very loving towards all animals, however incredibly sensitive to the space and needs of less friendly pets. My goal is always to build trust with any pet I’m spending time with, and to make sure that if nothing else, we have a common understanding between the two of us. If I’m there to go on walks, play, and love up on your pet, I’m game. But if your pet requires a more gentle, unattached approach for feedings and potty breaks, I totally understand and am prepared for each pet’s individual needs. I am also good with general house care - bringing the mail in, watering plants, taking the trash out for pick-up, etc. I will follow any instructions left for me about feeding times, medications, frequency of exercise, and anything else you want me to keep in mind. Hopefully you’ve got cats too!! :)

Arrived on time and my husky seemed happy with her and ready to be taken on a walk.

Ali is a lovely, kind and honest person, and did I mention dog lover extraordinaire??? She's reliable, responsible and will be the one you request to care for your pet in your absence. She's just the BEST!

Alex has been extremely helpful for me taking care of my animals. She is dependable, kind and very loving. I would recommend her to anybody who is looking for someone to take care of their pets. She truly loves animals and I guarantee she will be a great sitter!!

I have known Alex W. for over six years and I have had three dogs and she has played with them and taken care of them mini mini times. I would trust her in my house to stay for nighttime care for the dogs and Anytime. She comes over all the time and plays with my dogs. I now only have two dogs one is a rescue and she’s very good with her. Anybody would be lucky to have Alex play and walk with there dogs. She plays with them and videotaped them and have so much fun with them and they all love her. Especially my Max and Shanti.

Information Alex W. would like to know about your pet

No preferences, and all I need to know is whether your dog is friendly or not. If I don’t know this prior to meeting a dog, I always err on the side of caution. I’ll assess the situation by learning how your dog communicates.

A typical day

On a short walk, we’ll just take the safest route near your house - hopefully on a sidewalk or away from heavier traffic. If a dog likes the routine, we’ll stay the same route each time. If your dog is adventurous, we’ll find new ways to go. I’m down for fetch or tug-of-war in the backyard. And if there’s a nearby park, we can always go there and explore around.
