dedicated trainer and dog walker

Pet care experience

I have been working with/taking care of dogs personally since I was 10 and have been researching and training my own dogs for the past two years, including service dog training. I care for my neighbors pets every time they go on vacation and have potty trained and leash trained puppies before. I am familiar with dog behavior signs as well as the various enrichment, exercise, and play needs of dogs and different breeds. I have a standard poodle, so I am familiar with the various grooming needs some breeds have.

Alex was great! I had to find someone fairly last minute and she was super helpful filling in for the week. She was super communicative and sent tons of photos. It was great she had a dog, too, so they could play together. I’ll absolutely be using Alex again!

First time leaving our doggy! Alexandra did a great job keeping us updated. We could tell our fur son was happy with her drop ins and the time they spent together. Very grateful for her!

Alexandra took great care of my senior dog while I was away for the weekend. She’s extremely responsible and communicative, going out of her way to meet me and my pup ahead of time. I was pleasantly surprised with many cute pictures and videos of my dog throughout the weekend

Alexandra did amazing with our dog!! She took such great care of her and sent many updates with pictures. From walks to playing in the park, I could tell my dog loved being with her and had a blast. I highly recommend her to anyone!

Safety, trust & environment

I have one friendly 7 month old standard poodle who has been involved in socialization classes since 8 weeks old. He loves to play with other dogs. In my home the majority of exercise comes from walks and I will take my dog out into the hallway to play so he has more space to run around. I am a firm believer in the importance of training and the physical and mental well being of the dogs is the most important thing to me. I will follow the instructions that a client gives me for the care of their dogs and will ensure that I go above and beyond to give them what they need. If requested I can work on certain behaviors as well.

Information Alexandra M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any behaviors/ special needs that I should keep an eye out for such as reactivity, food aggression, medication needs, grooming, likes/dislikes, etc. I want to be sure that your dog is comfortable and happy while they are under my supervision.

A typical day

I think it's so important to provide dogs with a variety of things to do. I love to provide walks, enrichment activities, play time, and training every day to ensure your dog doesn't get bored.
