Availability

Available for up to 2 dogs for daycare during the weeks. I work flexibly from home and have coworkers who are begging for animal guests on virtual meetings! Available for walks between 6:30- 8am - specifically hoping to offer an hour long walk/jog for dogs who need to expend some energy in preparation for their day.

Information Alexandra T. would like to know about your pet

I am used to pets with special needs, and would love to accommodate. Whether a special toy, game, massage/physical therapy, or medications, please let me know what your pet needs to be happy and healthy!

A typical day

I work remotely and quite flexibly, so I can mix the day with walks, time at the dog run, indoor puzzles, active play, or calm and focused attention. My coworkers will love to meet them over video call if they like that kind of thing! On weekends we can take trips in the car to local park preserves and beaches, but always on leash.

All life stages, all needs!

Pet care experience

I am experienced, through my own pets, volunteering at the shelter, and pets in my social circles, with pets who have needs! Whether those needs are energy, environment, or medical, I've been there! Dog in a wheel-chair? Cat who needs intravenous meds? Old lady in physical therapy? Young pup? Muzzle? Reactivity? Yes, yup, check! Though I have had pets most of my life, both cats and dogs, most recently, I cared for my dearest pup through her end of life stage, including learning some physical therapy techniques. I also have about 100 volunteer hours over the past year at a dog shelter, primarily focused on socialization of dogs new to the shelter environment, as well as intake processes including medication and vaccines. It would be my pleasure to attend to any special needs your dog might have during their stay, whether that be medications, a routine, massages, or mobility exercises. Experienced walking reactive/untrained/nervous dogs; can provide consistent guidance and patience to build confidence on leash.

Alex is amazing and takes such good care of my old ladies. One of them is on a few medications and she gives them timely. She’s so patient with them, plus takes them on several walks and adventures. They probably have more fun with her than they do at home! Definitely will keep coming to her for future stays.

Had a great experience. My dog totally loved being with her and she seemed to understand my dog.
