Big or small, I love them all!

Pet care experience

First, everyone knows me by my nickname of Alex, so any reviews with that name are, indeed, about me! I've had dogs all my life, and realized around the age of 12 that I had a gift when it comes to communicating with them. I've been informally training dogs since then, and professionally for the last fifteen years. My methods are based purely on positive reinforcement. Dogs want to please, and letting them know they've done a good job will make them want to do whatever you ask. You call the shots on what your dog is and isn’t allowed to do. Consistency is paramount to your dog's comfort. Let me know preferred routines and I’ll follow them as closely as I am able to do.

Alex was great with both Coco and Comet. They both were very happy with her. She went above and beyond to ensure their needs were met. I would highly recommend her to anyone else.

Where to even begin talking about how absolutely incredible Alex was with our dogs… She took care of our 6 month old German Shepard and 6 year old mixed breed for over a week. Alex sent multiple updates with pictures and videos every day, loved the dogs as if they were her own and was consistent with her communication. When an unexpected emergency occurred on my end, she was a trusted collaborator in navigating our dilemma of getting the dogs across the country. It was such a relief to know that our dogs were put first while we dealt with a difficult situation. She is the best experience with a Rover I have ever had and I’m so thankful she was there for our doggos. I cannot speak more highly of her.

I do my best to keep your dogs on the same routine they have with you. Preferred walking route? That’s the way we go. Treats or playtime after a walk? That’s what we’ll do.

Information Kellie A. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to know about any medical issues, medications, behavioral issues, shyness, and food allergies or restrictions. I absolutely love German Shepherds, but certainly don't have any objections to other breeds. My own dog Is a German Shepherd. Several of my clients have little dogs, and I adore them as much as the big pooches.

A typical day

I'm also certified in pet first aid/CPR, and am a certified dog trainer. Dogs who run well on leash will enjoy morning runs with me. I also enjoy hiking, so dogs who are in good shape (or need to be!) are welcome to accompany me. Does your dog like water or will she enjoy a trip around the bay? Then kayaking and paddleboarding are on the list of fun activities! I've got several sizes of doggie life jackets and a leash that attaches to the vessel. All is as safe and secure as I can possibly make your dog's visit!

I work part-time, so I have plenty of hours in the day for quality time with your pet. I work early hours Mon - Fri, and my hours vary on the weekends, but there’s plenty of time leftover for the furbabies.
