Dogs are my thing.

Pet care experience

I’m a true lover of all animals, and dogs in particular have always brought me great joy. I began volunteering at EASEL Animal Rescue League about 4 years ago, where I walk and help train the shelter dogs, as well as assisting with adoption events. Not only has that work been incredibly fulfilling, but it’s provided me with valuable experience in handling all types of dogs with varying levels of training. I may have a bit more experience than the average Rover walker in dealing with behavioral challenges like pulling, dog-reactivity, fear, etc.. I enjoy being active and going for long walks, so helping others care for their pets is the perfect job for me. I look forward to spending some time with your pets!

Alexandra did a great job taking care of Buddy! She arrived on time and provided us with updates and pictures throughout her stay. She was very responsive. She is a true animal lover and provided great care for Buddy. We would highly recommend her and would definitely use her again.

Alex is great with dogs! Really took the extra with our dog Jack to hang out with him and give him extra love! Highly recommended!

I have known Alex my whole life and I don’t think anyone could love dogs (and all animals) more than she does! She will spoil them with so much love and attention, but also knows how to respect each individual dog’s boundaries. If she could be surrounded by dogs every minute of every day, her dreams would come true. Alex has volunteered at shelters for years, then rescued a dog that had behavioral issues and was going to be euthanized, and helped her become an incredibly sweet and loving girl that now has the best life! Because of this, she has experience with dogs of all ages and sizes with all kinds of issues. Alex is trustworthy and responsible, and I would not hesitate to have Alex watch my dog or visit my home. I don’t doubt that she will follow instructions perfectly and give your dog the best possible experience while you’re away. I 100% recommend Alex!

I have never met a person who loves and cares for dogs more than Alex. Big dogs, small dogs, dogs with behavior issues, couch potatoes~ they all get the same care. She has volunteered with shelters and can handle pretty much anything and your dog may even learn a thing or two. At the end of the day I think she may care more about some dogs than their owners do. She's also a normal person and would never hesitate to give her access to my house to take the dog out- I don't think she would ever steal something (except maybe a forgotten spare poop bag)

Information Alexandra N. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about any food allergies or medication. It would also be helpful to know beforehand if your dog has any behavior challenges to be aware of (reactivity toward other dogs, food aggression, etc.)

A typical day

I will make sure your dog is mentally stimulated and well-exercised. I love teaching new tricks and going for long walks or runs. If your dog is playful and enjoys the company of other dogs, we can spend time in the lovely dog park right in my development.

I'm currently working remotely and have an hour-long lunch break from 12:00 - 1:00 pm. I can also do a walk before work from 8:00 am - 9:00 am. There is a beautiful dog park right in my apartment complex, so I can either go for a walk/run with your dog or spend time in the dog park (or both).
