Hi, I'm Alex! I grew up around dogs, cats, hamsters, and shrimp—but once I got my first foster dog in college I dove headfirst into the roller coaster of raising all types of dogs on my own. Dogs are awesome. Slightly less awesome when you need to take them out in the pouring rain or hail or for that one last potty break when it's 11:30 pm and your pajamas are on. That's where I come in! I'm especially great with energetic dogs—I love to go on runs with a furry companion, two-hour walks exploring the area together, or help them socialize with other pups. I'm also gentle, intuitive, and patient—happy to let them sniff to their heart's content or sprint alongside them to the nearest squirrel. For dog-sitting, my smaller space is perfect for smaller dogs, and I have plenty of dog toys, creative treats, and fun tricks to keep them busy!
