Experienced and Reliable Dog Walker
Pet care experience
I have several years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. From energetic puppies to senior dogs needing extra patience and care, I tailor my approach to each pet’s needs. I’m confident in handling feeding routines, administering medication, and maintaining a calm, safe environment, whether during walks, playtime, or overnight stays. What sets me apart is my attention to detail and commitment to each pet’s well-being. I treat every dog as if they were my own, ensuring they feel comfortable, engaged, and loved while you’re away. I’m also highly dependable, responsive, and respectful of your home and your pet’s routine.
Reviews
Alexa was a responsible, communicative and loving dog sitter for our dog, Posy. I would highly recommend.
Alexa took great care of our senior pup over the holiday weekend at our house! We would definitely hire her again!
We couldn't be happier with Alexa's care for our rescue dog, Jazzy. From the very beginning, Alexa demonstrated her professionalism and genuine love for animals by taking the time to meet Jazzy before the actual sit. This pre-meet was great in helping Jazzy and us get more comfortable. During the meet and greet, Jazzy, in her true rescue dog fashion, discovered her "bark," but it didn't faze Alexa one bit! She handled it with complete calm and understanding, which truly put our minds at ease. Alexa was prompt, communicative, and professional throughout the entire sit process. We wouldn't hesitate for a second to hire Alexa again to watch Jazzy. We're even hopeful that, when Jazzy is ready, Alexa will be the one to take her on walks! Thank you, Alexa, for providing such wonderful and stress-free care.
Alexa dogsat for us for 2 nights and did a great job with our dog Kaju. She took him for walks and sent us pictures throughout the weekend.

Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in their own home, I prioritize creating a safe, calm, and comfortable environment that respects their routine and space. Whether I’m walking your dog or staying overnight, I follow all your instructions carefully, from feeding and exercise to medication and playtime. I maintain open communication with you throughout the care period, providing updates and photos to keep you connected. As a dog walker, I always make sure that leashes and harnesses are secure, stay aware of surroundings, and ensure your dog is safe and happy during every outing. For overnight stays, I treat your home with respect and maintain a clean, quiet atmosphere so your pet feels secure and relaxed while you’re away. Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities, and I strive to build trust with both you and your furry friend through responsible, loving care.
Information Alexa D. would like to know about your pet
To provide the best care possible, it’s important for me to know about your pet’s routine, personality, health needs, and any special preferences. Please share details like feeding schedules, favorite activities, any medical conditions or medications, behavior around other animals or people, and any anxieties or fears your pet may have. The more I know upfront, the better I can tailor my care to keep your pet safe, comfortable, and happy.
A typical day
A typical day with your dog includes plenty of exercise, mental stimulation, and affection. We’ll start with a brisk walk to stretch their legs and explore the neighborhood safely. Depending on your dog’s energy level and preferences, I’ll include playtime with their favorite toys, gentle training sessions, or some quiet cuddle time.If your dog enjoys socializing, I can arrange safe meet-ups with other friendly dogs or visit a local park for new sights and smells. Throughout the day, I ensure they have fresh water, regular potty breaks, and plenty of attention to keep them happy and comfortable. My goal is to make every visit fun and fulfilling so your pet feels loved and cared for until you return.
