Pet care experience

I have been a professional pet sitter over seven years now. My personal pet care experience dates for past 25 years. I moved from Northern Cal' to Southern Ca' to be near family, in doing so I lost all of my clientele, however I am still very good friends with a lot of them. I just bought a new home with a very large fenced yard and big swimming pool in El Cajon. I am finally settled in and I am ready to meet all of the new pups and clients and get the pup care business going again. Safety first is my main focus, I have many logical rules to keep everyone happy and safe while enjoying a fun playful stay. I look forward to meeting you and your sweet fur babies very soon.

We could not have asked for a better fit for our pup Bailey. Alex is so caring and responsible that we felt totally confident leaving Bailey with her and her 2 dogs. The dogs all played well together and we looked forward to and greatly enjoyed the pictures Alex sent of Bailey throughout our trip away. It was as though he was staying at a 5 star resort! We will definitely leave Bailey with Alex through Rover again!

Alex was wonderful It felt so reassuring leaving Brutus as it was his first time away from family. He seemed to really kick it off with mocha as she was in all his pictures and videos. I’m grateful and happy he got along with Alex’s pups. He definitely had so much fun. <3

Alex was great! She took Savannah at a moment's notice and kept her for a week. Savannah came back happy and exhausted, which means she had a pretty good time. Alex was very thorough, regularly sent pictures and videos, and was responsive. I felt great leaving Savannah in good hands and will gladly leave Savannah with her again. Thanks!

Information Alex D. would like to know about your pet

I want to see their personality, usually dogs get anxiety being away from their owner/human, so I Try to learn how they feel and quickly learn how to reassure them of their safety, I never introduce a new dog to an environment where other dogs are until I entirely know their personality, safety is a must.

A typical day

On any stays pups are never left outside alone, they will always be attended to by me by the pool. Pups will be indoors with me in a very comfortable environment when we are not outside playing. There will only be snacks if approved by the owner and any meals will be given to the pups in separate spaces, so they can enjoy their meal. (If owner brings their food and meals are required) There will be playtime, snuggle time, and any special requests if needed, ie baths, brushing. I send photos and videos daily and allow Face time if you would like to check in and say hi to your baby.
