Alex is an absolute favorite of our dog Theo. He loves her, so much so that he struggles to contain himself when he hears her voice, which is probably the best recommendation. She has looked after Theo both at our home, and taken him home for a sleepover on a number of occasions (reliable and trusted by us as housesitter - leaves the house in good order - tidy and conscientious). She has looked after Theo both short-term (overnight and weekends), but on one occasion for a fortnight. During the longer stay, she kept us updated with messages, pics, and videos to let us know how he was getting along which was great. It seems that Alex is also really good with cats although we've not used this service - she has a lovely tabby of her own who is used to overnight guests - luckily Roo (the cat) and Theo get along just fine Wholeheartedly recommend Alex as a substitute pet mom.
