Lifetime Dog Lover/vet tech !

Pet care experience

I've owned dogs for most of my life, since I was a small child. Most have been large dogs (50+ lbs.), but many of my family members and friends have owned smaller dogs that I've loved to spend time with. In particular, I love big dogs most, but all dogs are good dogs, and I love to spend time playing with them and finding out their personalities. I do not currently have a dog, as my last dog, a golden retriever mix named Riley, was my best friend for almost ten years, but he died of Addison's complications late 2017. I graduated with a degree in veterinary technology in 2010 and I'm comfortable giving any manner of medication to dogs.I am generally available most of weekdays and weekends, though I work part time at Home Depot. I have experience with many breeds and sizes of dogs, as well as other animals such as cats, rodents, and reptiles. If it's your friend, it's my friend too!

Alexandra was fabulous! She took great care of our two big dogs and had great communication. Our daughter was so happy to get frequent dog pics as she missed them over the week. We will definitely book Alexandra again and highly recommend her!

Alex was AWESOME!! I went on a girls vacation and needed someone to stay at my home and watch my 2 (big) rescue dogs for me. She sent me pictures and updates every 4-5 hours and it gave me a piece of mind to know that they were well taken care of. She communicated with me often and it was one of the best vacations I have had to date knowing they were in such good hands. I would recommend Alex to ANYONE looking for a dog sitter!! Thank you Alex! :)

Alex is wonderful! I have had her watch my dogs many times. She is trustworthy and caring. It’s so easy to travel when I need to knowing that my dogs will be safe and loved while I’m away. My dogs absolutely love her too!

I have never met anyone who loves animals as much as Alex. They are more important to her than people i think. She interacts with them like most people do with kids. If you want someone to love your animals it's Alex.

Safety, trust & environment

I always supervise outside time, regardless of a fence being present, as I know some animals can be a little tricky and try to explore outside of their yard. I’m also well-versed in common toxins to avoid and medical care, and can take care of any issues that might arise.

Information Alexandra W. would like to know about your pet

I like to know what their general personalities are like and what particular things are unique to them: are they a dog that will get into anything and everything, or are they more laid back? I have a preference towards large dogs, but I will take care of any size or breed. My favorite breeds are mastiffs (all types), hound dogs (all types, but especially Beagles), Rottweilers, pitbulls (any pitty breed), golden retrievers, labradors, and English bulldogs.

A typical day

I love to play with dogs, whether that's fetch, tug-of-war, or hide and go seek! It's always great to find out how each dog will interact and discover new ways to keep them entertained.
