Your Dog’s New Best Friend 🐶

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Alec. I provide dog walking, drop-ins, and house sitting with a focus on reliability, communication, and genuine care. Certified in pet cpr, I take the time to understand your dog’s routine, needs, and personality so they feel comfortable and confident while you’re away. I always offer a meet-and-greet so your dog can get to know me first. During visits, I keep everything consistent — walks, feeding, play, and any medication your pet needs. I also send clear updates with photos and videos so you stay informed and never feel stressed about how your pet is doing. Your dog’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my priority. Looking forward to meeting you and your pup.

Alec was amazing! Incredibly attentive and our dog Mabel absolutely loved him. Alec cared for Mabel for a little over a week and provided constant communication and pics so we knew she was being well cared for. I can not recommend Alec enough!

Alec did an amazing job with my dog Jojo and cat Sonny! He relates well to the pets and owners alike. Alec is a friendly and caring individual who took excellent care of our pets. He is very conscientious and trustworthy. I would highly recommend him for your pet watching needs.

Alex stayed with Gaston while we were away short notice and we’re so glad we found him! Gaston loved him and he was well cared for, we were kept updated the whole time. He is very responsible and communicative-would definitely recommend and will use again!

Alec was highly recommended to me and I am so happy to have found him! He clearly loves animals, my dog Remy was thrilled. And he was really flexible with regards to my last minute request. Looking forward to using him again in the future!
