Information Alexio S. would like to know about your pet

I like to get to know your kiddos personality from you! Anything they like or prefer, and most importantly, anything your pup likes to avoid that can be scary for them.

A typical day

I love going to the Smith Trails as it provides a great atmosphere that lets your pups let out their bursting energy! If you certain walk routines that you perfer I'm more than happy to accommodate.

Pet care experience

In the past I have offered pet sitting services to friends and family, as well as volunteering at local animals shelters (Dakin and JM Animal Training and Rescue) and working for Smith Equestrian. I am currently interning with a service dog trainer from JM Animal Training and Rescue who uses a positive reinforcement based model of training. I find this brings out the best results in animals, and gives humans an opportunity to learn what their dog reacts to and enjoys most. I would like to learn from you – the parents – about your furbabies behaviors, triggers and favorite activities. My goal is to provide you and your kiddos a positive experience in a safe and fun environment. I am available Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, & Friday for dog walks and drop in visits. I am available most weekends for pet sitting as well! I am looking for regulars who can rely on me throughout the week, and am happy to fill in last minute on weekends. I prefer to walk your dogs on trails, at dog parks, or other areas that are pet friendly. As long as your pup is friendly with others (animals and humans included) we can go on all sorts of adventures! If your furbaby prefers some alone time I'm happy to accommodate that as well.

I love the way Alex takes care of my Gendun. She looked so beautiful when I got back yesterday and was not traumatized by my being away. Than You!
