Highlights
Pet care experience
I know how to ease reverse sneeze!
I grew up with the most incredible yorkie-poo for 16 years, and I’ve been filling the void by following way too many dog Instagram accounts. I really miss having a dog around, so your dog will get a lot of attention and be in great hands. I’ve looked after pit bulls, a Shar-Pei, doodles, an Alaskan Klee Kai, and mixed breeds of all sizes. Whether your dog is big, little, high-energy, anxious, stubborn, or just wants a buddy nearby, I’m happy to meet them where they are. I may find it hard to get work done because I’ll probably spend too much time hanging out with your dog. And if they’re into people food, I’ll respectfully disappoint them unless you tell me otherwise.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I’m pretty careful and communicative by default. I’ll follow your instructions closely, keep dogs leashed unless you explicitly say otherwise, double-check doors/gates, and send updates so you know your pet is good. I’m not going to freestyle with food, treats, medications, dog parks, or anything that could create a weird situation. If I’m in your home, I’ll treat it with the same respect I’d want someone to show mine.
Ratings and reviews
Alex was great with my pup Zoe. He graciously accommodated a very early drop off time and was flexible with me when my flight was delayed coming home. I loved getting some photos while I was away. It was clear that Zoe had a very good time and was kept very busy the whole time -- she slept for a whole day after getting home!!
Excellent job! Very prompt in pick-up and drop-off. Our dog seemed to have a great time.
Alex has been watching my sharpei Bruno regularly for 6 months and he's fantastic! I know Bruno is always in great care and always gets a ton of love and attention.
Alex gets 10 stars in my book! Our dog Griffey was so well cared for and loved while we were away. For 10 days he kept us informed and updated, sent photos of Griffey, and truly made us feel comfortable leaving our dog/baby. He is kind, caring, and responsible. We will 100 percent be using him in the future. I cannot recommend his services enough. If you choose to leave your fur baby with him I can guarantee you will have complete peace of mind while you are away!!
Alex is a kind, thoughtful and an overall great guy. He's exceedingly honest and responsible. Any owner should know that they can entrust Alex to take wonderful care of their beloved pet. There isn't a breed that he doesn't like. He is the CONSUMMATE dog lover!!!
Alex comes from a long line of animal lovers in general, and dog lovers specifically. Since our family dog passed 2+ years ago at age 16+, Alex has followed other family dogs online, especially bear coat Shar Pei's, as a way to fill the void of no longer owning a dog. Our family trades these dog images online daily as our therapy, as none of us are in position at this time to provide a home for a puppy. Alex has a huge heart and is a kind person to all....but ESPECIALLY to all the 4 legged canine gifts of the world, so I can't think of a better person to trust one's dog with than Alex!

Schedule
I’m in a flexible stretch right now, doing job-search work, contract work, and projects mostly from home. That means I can usually build my day around walks, drop-ins, or hanging with your pet. I’m best for weekday daytime care, evenings, and some weekends with a little notice. If I have an interview, work call, or trip coming up, I’ll be upfront before booking so there are no surprises.
