Hi, I am Alex and I would love to help take care of your pup. I have always been around dogs my whole life. I understand that every dog is different and I am very patient with them. I currently have a job at night so I would be more than happy to walk your dog during the day or weekend.

Hi! I moved to New York in February from NC. I have 10 years of childcare experience, ranging from being a camp counselor to being a full time nanny for the past 7 years. I have experience working with infants, toddlers, and elementary school aged children. I enjoy engaging children in developmentally appropriate play, reading books, and taking trips to local parks, libraries, museums, and classes. I am happy to provide you with a list of references upon request. Looking forward to meeting you!
