Your dog’s part of my family

Pet care experience

Above all else, I’m a dog person through and through. My phone background hasn’t ever not been my dogs and I follow more dog instagrams than I do people. To me, dogs are more than pets – they’re part of the family. Aside from my love, I’ve cared for dogs my whole life – both my own and for friends and family. I have 15+ years experience caring for dogs ranging from Golden’s, King Charles spaniels, doodles, labs, chihuahuas, and more. I’ve seen it all – timid, aggressive, scared, energetic and even sick. My dog (lives with my parents in CA) suffers from Addison’s disease and severe anxiety; she takes medication twice daily and requires special care, and I’ve loved being able to care for her all her life. I know how to handle any situation involving dogs and can always 100% ensure the safety of your pup. Whether you have a well-disciplined, crate-trained purebred or a sweet mutt with little to no training, I’ll always be sure to care for them just as you would.

This was not positive immediately had issues with agreed pricing then agreed to stay extra night / extend then declined. Had to book 2nd Rover while stranded out of town. Dogs are ok but otherwise not good.

Hi! Alexa is my coworker and one of my best friends in NYC – not to mention the best dog sitter ever. seriously. I have a small labradoodle named Carlton and I’ve had Alexa watch him more times than I could count over the past few months due to work travel. I would usually leave him with my parents in Westchester but Alexa actually takes better care of him and he LOVES her – plus it’s easier than taking him out to the suburbs. I would trust her with any dog I ever have – she loves him like her own and walks him more than I do when I’m home! Trust me when I say, it’s a real treat for your dog to stay with her.

Information Alexa S. would like to know about your pet

I want to know anything and everything you want to share about your pup. Every dog is extremely unique and although I can figure it out pretty quickly, I always want to hear from an owner so that I can plan accordingly and make sure that our time together is as best as it can be. I wouldn’t say I have breed preferences, though I do have a lot of experience with doodle mixes. I can’t wait to meet your pup!!!

A typical day

Depending on your dog’s needs/personality, I can go to the park or stay lowkey in my apartment. I personally love dog parks because I think socializing dogs is critical to their growth, but I also understand it doesn’t work for all dogs (one of my dogs lives the park while the other is too timid and just stays by me the whole time). I’ll always want to hear from you how I can best care for your pup and what sort of activities are best suited for our time together.
