Pet care experience
The Family Dog 🐾
I grew up with goldens, and even started my own small business as a kid called “Alexa’s Pampered Pets” where I took care of about a dozen of my neighbors’ pets throughout the summertime. As an adult, my husband and I had been waiting until we had a proper yard to get our own dog, but now that we do have our own home with a great (soon to be!) fenced yard we have fallen in love with too many of YOUR furry loved ones to stop now.

Alexa was wonderful to work with! She followed all directions, asked thoughtful questions, and took great care of our dog Sucia. We didn’t worry about our pup for a minute with all of the clear communication and excellent care. We will definitely book again!
Alexa and family was great! Good communication photo and video. Would definitely recommend!! Thank you!!
Alexa was fantastic. Extremely communicative, thoughtful, and loving towards our dog, Alfie. She sent lots of photo updates and it was clear he was always happy and loved. We plan to have Alfie stay with Alexa in the future and know he will be in great hands!
Alexa provided last minute support for a dog walk for our lab puppy and was a huge help! We appreciated her thoughtful, clear communication and helpful updates. Our puppy was happily exhausted after a fun walk and sniff with some play time. We will definitely work with her again!
Alexa was a fantastic care taker to my two border collies. I got frequent pictures and videos and it was clear my dogs settled in early! They were right at home. Alexa was incredibly communicative throughout their stay and I would absolutely use her again in the future. Your pets would be lucky to stay with her!
Alexa and her family were such great hosts and caretakers for our dog Bo - lovely to coordinate with and obviously provided a super good care. Could tell Bo was relaxed and happy from the regular photo/video updates. Will definitely try to rebook with Alexa again soon! 🐾 🦮❤️

Schedule
I own my own business so my schedule is fairly flexible to fit in caring for your furry friend. My husband and I often work from home and on occasion am only away for about 4-6 hours at a time, so between the two of us, your dog will rarely be alone for too much time. I treat the dogs in my care with as much love as someone would their own, even bringing them along with me on social outings with family and friends. They truly get integrated into our lives in a beautiful way. I am looking to start long term relationships with a few new dogs, either for weekly walks or being in rotation as their pet sitter when parents are out of town. I’ve heard so many horror stories of people hiring Rovers and essentially being lied to about the care their pet will receive, and I can assure you 100% you’ll never have any concern of that with me. I go above and beyond.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I aim to make your dog as comfortable as possible, sticking to their routine and traditions. When walking and playing with your dog, usually I let them set the pace — I’ve learned that stopping to sniff is even more important mental exercise than any physical benefit from a faster pace. But whatever you and your pet are used to is fine by me. I grew up with a more well-trained walking style for the dogs in my house, so I respect either style. I live with my husband and 13 year old stepdaughter (who is a HUGE animal lover and very gentle and sweet with any living thing), so your pup will have 3 people who love them for the price of 1 :)
A typical day
We recently bought our first home, just a few blocks from Maple Leaf Reservoir Park. In between work meetings we can head to the park for a walk and a sniff in the quiet surrounding neighborhood that’s filled with many interesting smells (or so the dogs tell me!) If your dog is a good car-rider, we can go to other parks around town too. I have an Outback with a dog sling for the backseat. We often host or attend dinner parties at friends’ homes around the city and love to bring the pup with us to meet new friends (and have less alone time).
