Peds resident + friend to all pups!

Pet care experience

I am a pediatric resident looking to walk and care for dogs when I am not working at the hospital. While I grew up with a family dog for 17 years, I cannot get a dog of my own right now, so I love doing this work both for my enjoyment and to help support me. I started doing this regularly 4 years ago in medical school and have continued ever since. I am able to connect with dogs quickly and am able to help them relax. I love working with big dogs, small dogs, older dogs, puppies, and all those in between. I hope I can help care for your pup!

Alex was super helpful on a last minute booking to fill in on some gaps in puppy sitting that we had! Very flexible and she was easy to work with.

Alex was super flexible and took our pup on many walks! She stayed in our home and was very respectful the space. We would absolutely book again.

Alex was amazing with Raimi! Raimi usually doesn’t eat when we’re away but with Alex she did, so there is some cool magic there. Alex also left the most wonderful summaries for us in the Rover Card. Great experience!
