Information Alexandra S. would like to know about your pet

I have worked with senior and rescue dogs before but I need to know ahead of time if they meet these requirements. Other than that, a basic schedule of typical feeding and walk times, allergies, and any medications are all I require. Any additional questions will be asked as needed!

Mornings start off with a nice walk, were we stay out as long as they want. Cuddles and playtime follow for the rest of the day. Whether it's fetch, tugowar, or tummy pets, all fur babies have fun

Alex has been an amazing addition to our dog and bearded dragons lives. Between her willingness to come do check in visits with Duke to keep him use to her since he developed stranger danger in his old age (he is 14 years old) to her house sitting both of them when we go out of town. She is always communicating with us while we are gone to let us know of things that she finds in the yard of our house while walking Duke or when Duke decided to slide down the stairs this last trip and the bearded dragon laid some infertile eggs. She has taken amazing care of our pets. Duke even gets sad when she leaves. He truly loves his time with her. We couldn't have been more blessed to have found her.

Alex is carrying and attempting to dogs needs. She stayed in our house with our two dogs and took great care of them.

Alex was amazing with taking care of Duke (dog) and Lagertha (bearded dragon). Duke has been super skiddish with new people and she was super patient with him as we did lots of drop in visits leading up to this trip to attempt to make him more comfortable with her. During our trip Alex sent me photos and communicated concern when she noticed Dukes nose was a little dried out from him licking it. We got home and Dukes nose was all better and he was excited to see us. Have already rebooked with Alex for our next trip.
