Pet care experience
Together, Alex and I have a long history of taking care of pets. I've taken care of dogs (of all sizes) since I was 10 years old. My family has always owned large breeds (St. Bernard's, Golden Retrievers, Great Pyrenees', etc.) but I also have experience with medium and small sized dogs. Alex's family has also had dogs his whole life, and he has played a care-taker role both for his parents, and for our 5 year old Great Dane named Luna. Alex and I both have experience with dog walking, and giving medication as well. Our Great Dane has had several health issues in the past (allergies, skin issues, etc.) so we've gotten used to giving many different kinds of medication to her. Your dog will be safe with us, and treated/loved like they are one of our own! If/when you book a walk with us, we promise to pick up any and all trash that we see during the walk. We care about our community and want to keep it clean and safe for dogs and people alike!
Reviews
Haley and Alex were amazing ! I could tell our dogs felt very at ease with them during our meet and greet. Alex sent prompt updates about our pups , sweet photos and you could tell he genuinely cared about the animals while in his care . Haley assisted me during the booking process and made it simple , easy and stress free since I didn’t really know how to navigate the Rover app! 10/10 recommend them and we will definitely book with them again ! - Colleen
Hailey and Alex were incredible! Took great care of my pup while I was out of town. I would definitely recommend them to anyone and will use them again in the future!
Alex and Haley became Oliver's new (and only) best friends! I was gone 2 weeks and Oliver was a lonely boy. Their visits were the highlight of his day!
Haley and Alex were incredible! They were prompt and sent updates and pictures throughout their visits. My one pup is very anxious around new people and they helped him feel super comfortable. Will absolutely be using Haley and Alex for future pet sitting needs!
About Haley & Alex M.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Creating trust with your dog is our number one priority! At your home, we'd be happy to play outside, play inside, and do whatever we can to make your pet feel happy and comfortable! We'd also be happy to discuss your pet's needs by scheduling a Meet & Greet beforehand.
Information Haley & Alex M. would like to know about your pet
Before meeting your dog, we'd like to know any information that you think is crucial to share (certain behaviors, night time routine, toy preferences, the appropriate walk length, feeding times, etc.) We would also like to know about your pet’s fears and triggers along with playing patterns that influence their behaviors and feelings of security & belonging.
A typical day
We'll play games outdoors with your dog, take them on walks, play with them in the backyard, or whatever the weather allows! We love being outdoors, but are also totally okay with cuddling up on the couch to watch a movie or TV show.

Availability
Alex works from home full time, which means his schedule is very flexible and open to meet your pet care needs. He takes care of most visits during the day, because I teach 6th Grade full time during the school year. However, I'm off during the summer months which is always a great time to book with us as well for your planned vacations and travels! Please see our calendar for further availability. If we have any dates blocked off on our calendar, we are either unavailable or already booked with our private pet care clients. If you have any specific questions, feel free to reach out to us and we'll see if we can help.
