Smooches for Pooches

Pet care experience

I have a variety of experience with all kinds of pets. I work in a veterinary hospital as a veterinary technician. With that experience comes, patience, understanding, a love that is priceless, experience giving medications. (I.e Injectable, oral, topical etc)

Alyx was a great sitter for our three. She was happy to do a meet and greet before we booked, and was good with the dogs from the start. She was always very responsive and through in her communication. They were well cared for on our 10 day trip. You could tell from the frequent photos Alyx sent that they were having a good time - lots of visits to the dog park. We will definitely book with Alyx again. Thanks Alyx!

Alyx has sat for our 4 giant dogs, two cats and three rabbits several times. She is always caring and loving. She takes the dogs for long walks and they clearly remember that!! We first met Alyx through our vet where she is a vet tech so she's also very knowledgeable about all kinds of animals, not just dogs. I will definitely use Alyx again.

Alyx is the absolute best. Not only is she incredibly trustworthy and responsible but she is excellent with my dog. Pepper absolutely adores her and is generally equally if not more excited to see Alyx than she is to see me! Having a vet-tech as a dog walker is also incredibly helpful. She's aware of what's happening, very knowledgeable and thoughtful too. Alyx takes Pepper several days a week out for walks and to the dog park and as also puppy-sat for long weekends and holidays -- both taking Pepper to her house and also staying at our house with Pepper. Needless to say, Alyx is basically a part of our family. We are SO lucky to have found her. I highly highly recommend her!!

Safety, trust & environment

I come to my clients house, so your animal feels literally right at home. I will either spend time in your home, we will go on a car ride, or an adventure. (Depends on the species) I treat your home like it is my own, you will never know you left. And your pets will be happy and healthy when you get home.

Information Alyx R. would like to know about your pet

I have absolutely no breed preference. But I would like to know their personality, what they like and do not like. What they are like on a leash? Are the comfortable going walks and/or car rides? Etc This can all be discussed during the first meet.

A typical day

I will take your dog around the neighborhood for sure, if the weather is nice I can take them to the park. I love taking them on car ride adventures. But I would leave it up to the owner on what they are comfortable with.

I am currently working full time but I make sure my pet jobs are taken care of. Working at a veterinary hospital helps. The pets always come first, especially for the ones that are medically dependent.
