Information Alix M. would like to know about your pet

I am comfortable with small breeds that are good with other dogs, and all ages. Are your dogs friendly towards strangers? Can your dog be off leash in a park? Does he/she have good recall or prefer to be leashed? Are they friendly towards other dogs? Has your pet had any injuries? Taking any current medication? (More recently I cared for a dog with kennel cough and needed meds 2x day in Oct 2021) Are your dogs high-energy, do they like to run or go for walks?

A typical day

We will go to the dog park, hike through paths and to open fields where we can play catch, lots of dog parks that are fenced in nearby. I’m also happy to socialize just with walks if you prefer no dog parks.

Alix was wonderful to my two German Shepard’s ! She responded promptly and kept in contact. She treated my dogs like they were her own and I recommend her !

Our dog is very much part of our family, and very much high maintenance. Alix took great care and patience to get to know him and he quickly warmed up to her experienced doggy manner. We have great confidence leaving him with her in the future. Thanks Alix
