Just as Excitable as a Dog!
Pet care experience
I love dogs! My aunt owns her own dog walking business in Chicago, and before I moved here over six years ago, I assisted her with walking dogs and the business. I moved to the NOVA area in early 2015, and since then, I have been dogsitting regularly for both Rover and my boss. His dog Conan and I are best friends! We watch TV together, go on walks, play with toys, and enjoy each other's company. I live in a big house in South Arlington with three other roommates, where we all enjoy having dogs around. The house is big enough for a few dogs; we have a huge main level with a large living room, an enormous kitchen where I can prepare their meals, a spacious backyard, and more. I am also available for house sitting (this is what I do for Conan occasionally), but enjoy boarding most. I am a very respectable young professional who loves dogs and has a lot of availability, as I am working remotely. I am ready to put my energy into caring for your pupper. Contact me today!
Reviews
Thank you Alexander for your help dog sitting Coco. She loves coming over to your house and the yard time.
Alexander was great! Another sitter cancelled on me last minute, and Alexander agreed to care for my dog Ozzy for a whole week, over a holiday no less, on really short notice! He was really communicative and I immediately felt comfortable leaving Ozzy with him. Definitely will rebook!
Alexander A. cancelled a booking 2 days before it was scheduled to begin.
Alex took great care of Buddy and sent photos regularly that showed they were having fun! He administered his medicines and took him for regular walks. Will definitely book Alex again.

At my house, there is almost no space where dogs would not be allowed; the top level of the house only contains other bedrooms, but the large basement, main level, and backyard is plenty of space to hang out in. I can follow any particular procedures you may have for them, including meals, crating, and exercise routines.
Home
Information Alexander A. would like to know about your pet
My preference for breeds is for dogs without very excessive dander/shedding. I know this is not entirely possible to avoid, but it the stay is more than a few days, any grooming you can do ahead of time is much appreciated. Again, this is not a deal breaker by any means, but a preference. Any peculiarities about your pups (especially diet or behavior related) will be important to know.
A typical day
The neighborhood I live in is full of nature, parks, trails, and friendly people. Getting outside and having safe adventures with your puppers is something I love to do, as well as give plenty of belly scratches, treats, and TLC.
