Flex time to take care of your dog
Pet care experience
Hi there, my name is Ali and I can't wait to meet you and your dog! I’m an animal lover through and through: I have always been around dogs and love them just as unconditionally as they love us! And I used to ride and train horses professionally. Being around such smart, caring and loving animals has helped me become the understanding, responsible and reliable person I am today. I have a dog, Roxy, who I rescued from a shelter a year ago. She came to me after being abused and then abandoned. It has been a journey of love, time, patience, and honoring her experiences as I try to prove to her that I deserve her trust. She has come around and is both the best dog and my best friend. My experience with Roxy taught me that dogs aren’t “bad” — the challenging or confusing behavior comes from a place of trying to communicate a need. I have a flexible schedule and am happy to commute or give dog walks in and around Royal Oak, where I live. I would love to earn you and your dog’s trust and help your dog feel right at home when you’re away. In addition to dog walking, I’m comfortable caring for horses.
Reviews
We had Alix come over for a 4 night overnight stay. I was pleasantly surprised when she responded to my messages in a timely matter and even if she slept over, when we returned it liked like nobody was in the house. Everything was neat, clean, the bed made and the puppies were happy and healthy. We really enjoyed working with Alix and we will definitely hire her again! Thank you Alix!
Ali is a devoted dog lover! She is caring and responsible!! I know her well and she can be trusted to show up for your dog and provide for them great exercise, love & attention!!
About Alix W.
Communication
Skills
Information Alix W. would like to know about your pet
I want to know if your dog has any fears or anxieties so that I can avoid things that give them negative feelings! I also want to know if your dog has any behavioral issues that serve as a way to communicate. For example, do they chew up shoes when they miss you? Or do they make a mess when they feel alone? If I know these things, it makes it even easier for me to provide the highest level of care. Of course, I’ll also want to know your dog’s favorite things — from favorite treats to activities so we can have fun!
A typical day
There are so many parks in the area that I tend to go to whatever one is close or go for at least a 30 minute walk in the neighborhood. If there is also a dog park near by I would definitely make that a stop! I love outdoor activities like hiking so if I can I will bring my canine companion. I also ride horses once a week so if I can bring an extra dog with me to the barn, I will. I can take your dog on long walks or just stop in to check on them and make sure they get the attention they need. If your dog needs medicine or special care I am more than happy to assist as well.
