About Alex

About me

My name is Alex, and I'm a 36 year old tax professional who works from home full-time. 

I have long been a petsitter of choice for friends and family, and signed up to Pawshake to bring more doggy friends into my home. I love dogs, and have always had dogs, and my dog Wally and I love the company!  

Also looking after your furbabies is Wally. He is a 4 year old groodle. He is a loveable, excitable pooch, and is an excellent best bud and playmate. When Wally isn't doing zoomies around the backyard, he enjoys sleeping and stealing socks. 


Services offered

Doggy day care and overnight visits (boarding) - working full-time from home, I'm able to keep a close eye on doggy visitors throughout the day. Pooches have free reign around my home and the fully-fenced backyard. Dogs are treated as part of our family and they are more than welcome to relax on our couches/bed if they choose. However, I will always enquire with you about your boundaries at home, and will endeavour to apply consistent rules while your pooch stays with me.   

We live close to Edgars Creek, which we often utilise for our daily walks. We also have Bundoora Park and Norris Bank Reserve a short drive away which we often head to on weekends. 

Further notes

  • I only accept 2 dogs max in addition to Wally at any given time. This makes sure your pet/s get the attention they deserve, and allows me to walk them all comfortably.
  • Wally gets walked at least once every day, and I'd love to bring your dog/s along on our daily walk if you are comfortable for me to do so. I am flexible to incorporate additional daily walks if this is something that your pet is used to, and enjoys.
  • I accept adult dogs (over 1 year) of all sizes, and have experience with small + large breeds. 
  • Wally is fully vaccinated. 
  • I would appreciate if doggy guests are up-to-date with flea treatments.

    My Golden Retriever Ted had a fabulous 6 days with Alex and her Groodle Wally. Alex is such a wonderful carer - patient, positive, knowledgeable, warm, enthusiastic, responsible and caring. I always feel so relaxed about leaving Ted with Alex as the care she provides is outstanding. Alex provided daily 'pupdates' with accompanying photos - always reassuring when it is necessary to leave your pet.

    Thanks Alex! We will be back!

    My young Golden Retriever Ted had the most wonderful weekend with Alex and her gorgeous Groodle Wally. Alex is such a warm and caring person and sent photos and 'pupdates' during my time away. Ted had so much fun and was cared for extremely well. I would highly recommend Alex to any dog owner seeking a loving, welcoming, safe and happy environment for their canine companion. We will be back! Robyn
