Pet care experience
In the past 15 years I have cared for dogs from 7 week old puppies to 16 year old seniors. I've handled training needs of puppies and medication and palliative care for seniors. My experience is primarily with dogs but I've had many opportunities to care for cats.
Reviews
Alec is a great pet and home sitter! He is reliable, dependable, and has such a unique relationship with our dogs. We don’t have to be concerned about anything at home while we enjoy time away. Our dogs are well cared for, loved, and the house is kept clean. The dogs are so excited when Alec comes , they forget to be sad that we are leaving. We feel so blessed to have Alec to care for our dogs, whether it’s for a few hours or a week long trip. I would not hesitate to highly recommend Alec to care for your animals.
We always use Alec (when he is available) for our pets. Alec is responsible and experienced, but most importantly, our pets love him. When we tell them 'Alec is coming' they wait and watch for him and there is great celebration on their part once he arrives. That's how good he is with animals! Alec is also a good communicator with humans and always gives us a full report on his time with our pets.
Alec has been our go-to cat sitter for a few years now and our cat Luna loves him! He is an animal lover and very caring. He sends us pictures of Luna while we're on vacation and it makes our day. He is very communicative and makes sure our cat is loved and taken care of. I would highly recommend Alec to family and friends.
Alec is a friendly and honest person who loves animals. He is the perfect person to not only care for but pay attention to your animal’s needs. Alec has watched my shy cat Luna a dozen times, and at this point, Alec is Luna’s bonus owner given how quickly Alec earned her trust and bonds with Luna every time. Alec is thorough with care instructions, always on-time, and sends updates/photos of Luna literally loving every minute he’s there. Alec is 5 out of 5 stars and highly recommended if you need a down-to-earth sitter who is nothing short of trustworthy and amazing with animals.

Safety, trust & environment
I really enjoy working with animals as individuals and making myself a safe and trusted person for them. I like to bring a bag of novel dog or cat toys to help us break the ice and begin forming our relationship. I am very aware of the need for doors and gates to be closed and locked to keep your pets safe. I have developed a questionnaire we can go over at our first meeting such that I can be aware of any particular safety hazards in or near your home. We would also discuss any challenges or medications your pet requires.
Information Alec B. would like to know about your pet
This is precisely what my questionnaire is designed to do. It will allow clients to express to me anything that is important for me to know in caring for their pets. Further, it provides a written record so that I can refer to it before each visit and remind myself of any important information that is crucial for me to know.
A typical day
This is part of getting to know each individual pet and forming our relationship. Our relationship will direct what it is we do together. For example, if your dog is ball obsessed we would spend a lot of time outside throwing a ball. If your animal is a small senior that loves laying on the couch and getting belly rubs then that's what we would do. For me, as a pet sitter, it is all about me getting to understand what brings your pet joy.

Availability
I have been pet sitting for more than half of my life. I have decided to attend graduate school and I will have a hybrid schedule allowing me vast flexibility in my weekday schedule for drop ins and dog walks. Drop in visits would include letting them out to relieve themselves and a minimun of 30 minutes for attention and play. When I am hired for dog walking we would need to discuss your dog's specific needs and abiility. I will also be available for overnight pet/house sitting for weekends or vacations. While pet sitting we can negotiate walking or other activities in addition to feeding and medication administration. I really look forward to meeting your pets and you and having fun building a relationship with your furry friends.
