True Dog Lover - Home Full Time!

Pet care experience

I’m Alexa and I've loved dogs for as long as I can remember! There hasn't been a period in my life longer than six months where I haven't had a dog in my household. I recently lost my pup Lola to cancer so I thought it would be nice to start working with dogs more frequently instead of owning one. Ever since I was born I can’t remember a time where we didn’t have a dog in the house. My family is full of animal lovers, but we definitely all have a weakness for dogs. Unfortunately our own dog Lola passed away from cancer a couple of months ago so the house feels lonely without her and that’s why I’ve decided to open up my home to other pups. I have taken care of dogs and walked dogs since sophomore year of high school. Your dogs will always be well attended since there is always at least one person in the house at any given time, and they will be cared for as if they were our own! We have a 2 story home with a fenced backyard, and I am willing to drive up to 30 miles for any pup in need. I am an energetic, friendly, and responsible person. I’ve always been slightly introverted. Dogs bring out the best in me because they don't require much conversation in order to build a friendship! I’m currently in school for industrial engineering. In my free time, I love hiking and exploring my passion of interior design. I also enjoy reading, painting, and gardening. I live in the suburban North Haledon neighborhood. There is a dog park just three blocks from my home and a larger park less than a mile away. We also have a fenced-in backyard where dogs can roam around!

We boarded our Catahoula mix Chica with Alexa and her family, and could not have made a better choice. Alexa was friendly, flexible, and easy to communicate with, and it was obvious she was a dog lover. Our dog took her right away! And we knew Alexa took good care of Chica, as we received multiple pictures of Chica having a great time during her stay. I would not hesitate to book Alexa again or recommend her to others. It was a great experience!

5 STARS, Wonderful!!!! My two standard poodles stayed with Alexa for 2 weeks - she was very easy to work with. The dogs ate their favorite foods and treats, slept on the bed with her, & went for walks and played in the dog park. I would get photo updates of them watching for squirrels from the window or a text that they are watching a movie before bed! Alexa is very accommodating on pick up/drop off, conscientious of the animals' well being, and simply a kind person. They came home with new little toys which are now their favorites. Definitely a great experience and will request Alexa for their next dog sitting - I think they had better time off than I did! Thanks Alexa!

Alexa is a very responsible person, and has a very profound love for dogs. She has an excellent rapport with people and great communications skills. A dog will not be in a better care than with Alexa.

Alexa is great dog walker. She took care of our dog (walking and dog sitting during our vacations) on and off for 8 years until Chance passed away last year. She is trustworthy and passionate about dogs.

Information Alexa R. would like to know about your pet

First and foremost what I find to be VERY IMPORTANT - I need to know if your dog gets along with people and other dogs well! Most of the time I might have a doggy overlap of a couple hours (In some cases it might even be a day or two) where I'm waiting for someone to pick their dog up while you drop yours off and i NEED to know that we won't have any problems with that. I would also like to know if they are on any medications or have any health issues as well as their exercise and food requirements.

A typical day

I love taking furry friends on walks and long drives! Depending on your pet’s capabilities, I will take them for walks at parks near my home and maybe even on a ride to the beach or for some treats at a pet store. I am home most of the time and currently only have one class from 9:00 to 10:00 AM. My parents would also be happy to take your pup out while I’m gone, if needed. I will take care of your dog as if it were my own!
