Running with dogs is the best kind

Pet care experience

I learned more than I ever thought I would about dogs when I raised my Great Pyrenees (who now lives a cushy life with my father, who fell madly in love with her). How much joy I got from taking care of her led me to work at a dog daycare and to join a group in college that focused on helping shelters and educating ourselves and each other's about canines. At the dog daycare, we would welcome more than 60 dogs a day on average, who all required different medical, dietary, energy, and social needs. As a result of all of my experiences, I am a go-to by many family and friends for dog walking and helping with dog training. I am new to the DC area and this is a great way to learn it better while I settle in!

Alexa is great. Reliable, responsible and caring. Our French bully adores her. I highly recommend her.

Information Alexa P. would like to know about your pet

I have no breed preferences, but I do like to know a lot about what a dog is accustomed to so that I know I am communicating with it and understanding them the best way possible. I need to know allergies, causes for anxiety, and any possible bad habits (like chewing shoes, etc).

A typical day

With the owner's blessing, I love hikes, walks, and "rough housing" in general, ending each day with some quality cuddling.
