Home full time & full of cuddles!

Pet care experience

I work from home full-time and I love using my unique work arrangement to help care for pets in my area! I have experience with cats, puppies, and full-grown dogs (including senior dogs). I am comfortable providing drop-in visits, walks, weekend and/or extended home stays depending on the needs of you and your family. I have been working with families and their pets in the Minneapolis / Edina / St Louis Park areas for 5+ years and I welcome you to read my testimonials. If you are a new client, please reach out to schedule a meet and greet first to see if I am the right fit for your family and your pet(s).

Alec was a great communicator and took great care of our cat, Arya, while we were away. She followed all care instructions and our cat was in a great mood when we returned. Would recommend!

Alec exceeded all of our expectations. Both puppy and geriatric cat were well cared for and well adjusted when we came home. Alec stayed in great communication with us the entire time and left our home clean and tidy. Definitely recommend and will book with Alec again!

Safety, trust & environment

I expect that we will discuss your expectations and mine during a meet and greet to ensure we are on the same page regarding safety and trust while I'm staying at your home.

Information Alec S. would like to know about your pet

I am a petite woman, so bigger dogs (over 70+ lbs) are probably not a good fit for me unless they are leash trained and do not pull heavily. Other things I'd want to know besides level of leash training would be: aggressiveness around other dogs or people, any major allergies, issues with excitability or nervous habits (e.g. peeing or grooming/licking excessively), etc.

A typical day

I am big fan of walks around any of the many lakes in this area and I love to play ball and/or frisbee with pups who are more energetic and need the running experience. I will, however, always be conscientious of the weather and not do anything outdoors for long periods of time if it is extremely hot or cold. I am also comfortable administering medications.
