Highlights
Pet care experience
Animal Shelter Staff & Dog Parent
What truly sets me apart is my daily reality. Working full time at an animal shelter means I don't just love dogs; I understand them deeply. I interact with dogs of every varying size, breed, age, and temperament every single day. Because of this professional background, I am comfortable handling situations that might overwhelm other sitters. I have experience with everything from 100lb breeds to nervous miniatures. Whether you have a high-energy puppy who is still learning manners or a gentle senior who needs extra patience and slow pacing, I know how to adapt my care to their specific needs. I bring that same professional safety standard to your home. As a lifelong pet parent currently raising two dogs of my own, I treat every client's dog with the same vigilance and love I give my own pack.

Safety, trust & environment
Safety is my top priority for both your pet and your home. During walks, I stay fully engaged and aware of our surroundings. I avoid interactions with other dogs to prevent any unpredictable behavior, and I always triple-check harnesses and collars before we step outside. I will treat your home with the utmost respect. I am diligent about following entry instructions, managing alarm systems, and ensuring all doors are securely locked upon leaving. My goal is to leave your home exactly as I found it, with a happy and tired pup waiting for you.
Ratings and reviews
Alec was wonderful with out Staffy. He was so kind and sweet to our sensitive girl. So grateful to have someone to trust to care for our pup.
One of my dogs is super anxious around new people. She was completely fine with Alec from the beginning. Alec provided services for us twice already. We’ll definitely be booking him again!
Alec was great! Super reliable and friendly. He took Teddy for a nice walk and spent time playing with him in my backyard. Teddy got tired and even took a nap for Alec. Highly recommend.
Alec is seriously the best. He’s super reliable, really kind with animals, and clearly loves what he does. He took great care of our elderly dog who needs medication and also fed our cats. I love seeing how excited our pets get when Alec comes over. We totally trust him. Highly recommend Alec!
Alec is an incredibly responsible and caring pet caregiver. He’s attentive, patient, and truly treats every pet like his own. I always feel confident and at ease knowing my fur babies are in such loving, reliable hands.

Schedule
My schedule is uniquely suited for pet care. While I work full time for an animal shelter, I frequently work from home. This hybrid schedule allows me to be incredibly flexible with my time. I can easily step away from my desk for midday walks, potty breaks, or just some lunchtime playtime. Animals are already the central part of my workday, so fitting your pup into that routine is seamless.
