Dogs Love Me • I Work From Home

I've lived in New York City for over 10 years and during that time I’ve cared for countless dogs - friends’, coworkers’, and even friends-of-friends' pups. Whether it was at my place or theirs, I was always happy to help out, simply because I love dogs. I did it for free for years - just for the joy of it. All of my friends’ dogs are obsessed with me (in the best way), and I take a lot of pride in being responsible and reliable. You can count on me to treat your dog like family.

Aleksandr was a fantastic dogsitter - he was extremely responsive and sent updates and questions while Ray was boarding with him. He also sent lots of cute photos of my dog, Ray, on outdoor excursions and relaxing at home, and it’s clear Ray had a great time. I highly recommend Aleksandr!

Don't even think about whether to use Aleks - just do it; he is the best! Riley was obviously well cared for and loved. Aleks understood her quirks right away and catered to them. Communicated with us timely and professionally. Maybe one of our best dog care people EVER.

Aleksandr was great with my two dogs! He took great care of them, sent me pictures throughout the stay, and was flexible with drop off and pickup.

Aleksandr was a fantastic sitter for my two pups. He was easy to work with, communicative, and took great care of my dogs. Also - he is a fantastic photographer and took some amazing shots of the pups!

Aleksandr did a great job with our older Shiba Inu, Xander. He was able to give Xander multiple medications and walk him without issue, even when Xander was being his stubborn Shiba self. Great communication throughout, and we could tell Xander had been well cared for when we picked him up. Also Aleksandr's apartment is nice and clean--we felt very safe leaving Xander there.

Schedule

I currently work from home, which gives me a very flexible schedule. I’m able to give dogs plenty of attention throughout the day whether it’s regular walks, playtime, or just keeping them company. My routine easily adapts to your pet’s needs.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety and trust are always my top priorities. I live in a new, pet-friendly building with a spacious, bright apartment perfect for pups to feel relaxed and at home. Whether I’m caring for a dog in my home or yours, I make sure they feel comfortable, safe fit, and loved. I always follow your instructions carefully, especially when it comes to feeding, routines, and any special needs. I create a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment, and I never leave dogs unattended. You can count on me to treat your pup like family.

A typical day

Since having a dog of my own in NYC isn’t easy, dog sitting became the perfect way for me to connect with them. I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, walking them, playing, and making sure they’re mentally and physically engaged. I never let a pup get bored, especially if they’re the playful or high-energy type.
