Information Alex Z. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about any aggression toward people or other dogs, as well as any triggers, fears, anxieties, or behavioral quirks that I should be aware of. I also love learning each dog's unique personality, so feel free to share any special commands, routines, nicknames, or "secret languages" they respond to. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can help your dog feel safe, comfortable, and right at home.

A typical day

They will get to play all day with my pups doing laps around the the yard! Often I can walk your dog if they are here after 4:45pm but please let me know if that’s something you want me to prioritize.

Pet care experience

I've had multiple dogs throughout my life and genuinely love spending time with them. These days, I have a dog of my own plus my partner's two dogs, (we all live here) so our house is always full of happy pups! My experience includes: • Experienced Rover doggy daycare provider • Experienced dog sitter outside of Rover • Raised in a hobby farm in WI • Caring for diabetic dogs that require strict feeding schedules and medication administration • Following detailed care instructions, dietary restrictions, and medication routines with great attention to detail My own dog has taught me a lot about allergies, sensitivities, and special care needs, so I understand how important it is to trust someone who will take your pet's unique requirements seriously. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, senior, or has special needs, I'll make sure they receive attentive, loving care and are treated like part of the family. I work from home and have a large, fully fenced backyard with a high fence for added security. I also have a screened/mosquito-net door that allows me to keep the door open during the day while I work, giving the dogs easy access to fresh air and the yard while remaining safely enclosed. My desk has a full view of the backyard, so I can keep a close eye on everyone throughout the day. Of course, if you prefer that your dog not have access through the open screened door, I'm happy to keep the main door closed and follow whatever routine makes you most comfortable. I know how important peace of mind is when leaving your pet with someone else, and I'll treat your dog with the same care, attention, and affection that I give my own.

I had a fantastic experience with Alex as Rune’s dog sitter. Rune had a great time playing with her dogs, and she has a lovely space that’s perfect for hosting. Alex was extremely responsive, communicative, and took great photos throughout. Overall, I felt very reassured and happy having Rune stay with her.

Patient and communicative, Alex did a great job watching our pup! Piper can be very shy but Alex worked with her and won her over easily. Glad to leave our pup with such a great sitter.

Alex is an excellent pet sitter (and human)! Not only does she have more patience than most people I know, she is an excellent dog trainer. She taught my very naughty puppy to give (when I could not), and trained him to run with her. She might be the reason he's too good at cardio, he went on her five mile runs every morning for almost six months.
