Active & Outgoing Dog Lover ❤️

Pet care experience

I fell in love with dogs at the age of three, when "Santa" gifted me Buddy, an 8wk old, black cocker spaniel. Since then I have surrounded myself with animals and have spent the last five years fostering and volunteering for local animal shelters. Recently, I adopted my "first" dogs, Moose an Alaskan Malamute mix and Leia a Shepherd/Lab mix and couldn't be happier. In the past, I provided daily walks and overnight stays for an adult Dalmatian from Aug '16-March '17. Overall, my goal is for you to feel comfortable leaving your furry best friend with me and I promise to do whatever is needed in order to best accommodate your dog and help you feel comfortable while you are away from your best friend.

Alex did a wonderful job taking care of our dog and puppy for a weekend! It was our first time using Rover and first time leaving our puppy, but our pups were in great hands! She sent pictures and updates several times each day and left our home in perfect condition. We will definitely be using Alex’s services again! Thank you!!

Information Alexandria G. would like to know about your pet

First, I would like to know any schedule your dog has such as a feeding schedule, a walk schedule or any medicine they have to take. This is important for me so that I am able to give your pup the best care possible and keep things as close to normal as possible for them. I would like to know what frightens them or makes them anxious, for example, my old yellow lab, Maui used to be terrified of small white dogs and would go from walking by your side to out in front tugging at the leash. Maui was also afraid of thunder and would hide in the bathroom during storms. Knowing what makes them scared can help me keep them out of these situations or assist me in being more knowledgeable on how to react to their nervous behavior. I do not have any breed preferences, I love all dogs from the small ones all the way to the big ones and the hairless to the shaggy.

A typical day

I love taking my pup, Leia everywhere with me. We go to nearby trails, walk through open fields and around our neighborhood. On the weekends, we like to go to the dog park or a park with open space so she can run around.
