Pet care experience

Very flexible schedule!

I love dogs and have been working with them for 11 years. I have been dog sitting for about 15 years and love caring for other animals while their family is away. I am a stay at home mom so I prefer to dog sit in my own home I work at an animal hospital in Wheaton, IL and I used to work at a doggie daycare so I know all about dog behavior and how to handle/control them. I also have a certificate in Dog CPR and a certificate for Veterinary Assistant work. I am comfortable with all breeds and dogs of all sizes. I dog sit frequently for a family with 3 dogs and 2 cats! I am home a lot and have a very flexible schedule. If you want a trustworthy dog sitter/walker who loves working with animals, you found her!

Alex is the best dog sitter around. She takes them on adventures walks and plays with them a ton. She has great management so if you have multiple dogs, she's the dog sitter/walker you need.

Alex is trustworthy, experienced, energetic, and passionate about caring for dogs! She has over 5 years of professional experience working with animals, primarily dogs, both in care-taking and veterinary environments. She also has local experience. Essentially, she spends her time ensuring proper care and attention to pups! I would trust her with my dog without hesitation and she would be a great asset to any organization surrounding dogs!

Alex, is a GREAT person! I have trusted her with my pack and I only trust 3 people with my dogs and they love her. she has a great back ground in dog daycare, training, and currently works at a vet office. I have known Alex for about 5 years now and wouldn't hesitate recommending her to watch anyone's pets. I have known her to watch multiple pet families including both cats and dogs and even houses with 4-5 dogs at a time. Alex knows dog behavior which is great and much much more than just someone who likes dogs. she is extremely reliable and has even helped out in a pinch at all hours of the day. Feel free to contact me for any needs on Alex.
