Highlights
Pet care experience
The Farm Dog experience
I served as a K-9 Handler with the Department of Correction and have extensive experience working with a wide variety of animals, including dogs, cats, horses, goats, and chickens. My background includes caring for and handling dogs of all temperaments and activity levels, from high-energy and behaviorally challenging dogs to relaxed companion animals, as well as dogs with special needs. I am committed to providing knowledgeable, compassionate, and individualized care for every animal.
Cat care experience
Alyx also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Safety, trust & environment
I always begin with a meet-and-greet to establish a positive relationship with both the pet and their family. During this visit, I take the time to learn about each pet's individual needs, routines, and any special care requirements, while also discussing the owners' expectations. I observe how the pet responds to my presence and perform an informal assessment of their temperament, behavior, potential triggers, and overall demeanor. This initial meeting helps build trust and ensures I can provide safe, personalized, and compassionate care tailored to each pet.
Ratings and reviews
Alyx was absolutely fantastic with our pets! On top of taking care of our indoor pets, she kept an eye out for our outdoor animals as well, which was such a peace of mind for us while traveling. She made sure to send photos and keep us updated with anything going on. Highly, highly recommend seeing if she is a good fit for your family! We will absolutely be using her the next time we go out of town!
We took our three dogs out to meet Alyx at a dog park here in Goddard. She had a lot of great questions in order to make sure that the dogs have the best experience possible. Once dropped off they were with her for five days and had a fantastic time with her dogs. I would recommend her to anyone looking for dog care.
Alyx G. cancelled a booking 1 day before it was scheduled to begin.
Alyx is clearly very knowledgeable and passionate about taking care of animals! Our first meeting was the most thoughtful meet-and-greet I have had with a sitter and Alyx got along great with baby-cat. I felt completely at ease to leave my pet in her care, I definitely recommend Alyx’s services to anyone who wants to make make sure their pet is a priority!
Alyx is so knowledgeable about dog behavior and good with dogs, especially with my big 100 lb puppy. I’ve never met anyone who cares so much. We will definitely be using Alyx again. Thank you ?

Schedule
Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine and something I genuinely enjoy. I structure my schedule to ensure I have dedicated time for feeding, exercise, walks, playtime, medication administration when needed, and providing individualized attention to each animal. My experience as a K-9 Handler with the Department of Correction has taught me the importance of consistency, patience, and understanding animal behavior. I prioritize each pet's physical well-being, mental stimulation, and comfort, ensuring they receive dependable, compassionate care while their owners are away.

- To ensure the best possible care, I like to learn a little about each pet before we meet. Please share your pet's name, age, breed, weight, sex, whether they are spayed or neutered, and a brief description of the services you're looking for. This information helps me determine whether we're a good fit and allows me to tailor my care to your pet's unique personality and needs. Just like people, every animal is different, and finding the right match is important for creating a safe, comfortable, and positive experience for everyone involved.
