Dog Handler & Animal Enthusiast
Pet care experience
I offer professional services for pet sitting and/or dog walking with a focus on providing a positive and loving environment in which your pet can be their own carefree, goofy, playful self! My goal is not only to watch or walk your animal but to build a lasting relationship that allows him/her to open up and be themselves in a safe setting that promotes pet growth and happiness. I have been pet sitting for over 10 years for neighbors, friends, and family, and I have 4 years of professional experience working as a dog handler at Oh My Dog (a doggy-daycare from my hometown) where I oversaw and managed packs of 20-60 dogs at a time. This position provided me with valuable experience that I can now transfer to individual pet sitting/walking opportunities. I have experience working with all kinds of dog breeds and am capable of catering to specific needs and individual requests if need be. I am happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have—please feel free to reach out! I am a recent Master’s graduate studying to become a Speech-Language Pathologist. I just moved to Long Island from Vermont and am passionate about soccer, hiking, language, and of course, animals! I grew up with a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and even snakes. Back home I currently have two rescue pitt bull mixes, Skye and Mr. T, whom I love dearly. I look forward to meeting you and your four-legged (or however many) friend(s) soon! -Alex
Reviews
Alex was fantastic... super kind and caring to Allie. This was my first time having a cat sitter that was a "stranger" so I was a bit uneasy at first. But rest assure your pet is in good hands. Not once did I have to worry if Allie was being treated well or fed properly. Alex was really great with checking in and giving us updates. 10/10!
Alex was very friendly and punctual! Great communication, and got along great with our dog! Would for sure book again!
Alex was great! He was on time and took care of everything with no issues! He also took tons of great pictures and checked in as well. Will definitely be using him more in the future!
This was my first time booking with Alex and everything was excellent! I highly recommend and I plan to definitely book with him again!

Safety, trust & environment
I have many years of experience caring for pets in others' homes, and I make sure to treat the house/apartment as though it were my own, if not better. I am happy to work with any special requests regarding the pet care situation. In the past, I have helped train a dog to use a doggy door, administered medicine for animals during feeding, and watered plants around the house. P.S. I love to take fun pictures of pets and update owners about how their pet is doing!
Information Alex B. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if there are any specific needs or requirements for your pet. This may be related to feeding, behavior (with people and other dogs/animals), medication, etc. I am happy to accommodate for any of these needs so long as I know about them ahead of time! It is also useful for me to know any particular interests that your pet has, whether it be a favorite toy, snack, or activity. This will help me to provide the best services possible for you and your pet!
A typical day
I am very flexible to provide whatever services work best for your individual pet's needs. I love to play with dogs, whether it be throwing a ball in the back yard, giving belly scratches on the couch, or going for walks around the block! Your pet's happiness is important to me, and my goal is for them to feel comfortable and happy in my care. I treat every visit as more than just a job, and I will treat your pet as though they were my own.
