Pet care experience
I grew up with dogs, mainly big labs and senior rescues. My mom adopted an 11-year old dog named Cody when I was living at home after college; he had one eye and a heart of gold. I worked as a professional dog walker for four years - two in SF and two in Brooklyn. Right now, I’m looking for two to three clients for private walks in Carroll Gardens, where I live with my wife. I provide one-on-one care for dogs who roll solo or just need some extra pampering. I’m also available to run with your dog, for an extra fee. I recently moved to Brooklyn from San Francisco, where I lived for the last 8 years. Before that, I did my undergrad in Boston at BU. I love to run, read, paint and do yoga. I've been taking care of dogs through Rover for two and a half years; I find it’s a great way to supplement the freelance work I do. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions.
Reviews
Charli loves Alex! She licks him when he gets to our place, not typical for her with other people, and she has super happy zommies when he drops her off. So happy he’s nearby and available to walk her!
Thanks for walking Charli! She is so happy when she sees you… that doesn’t normally happen with other people! Appreciate the update from the walk, as well as the pictures!
Alex was great! Dante took to him immediately. He was prompt and very easy to work with. I’d trust Dante with him anytime
Amazing. Our 8 month old puppy absolutely loved Alex - he came home happy and tired from his long walk in the park!

I follow instructions to a T, so whatever information I’m given from a client is what I stick to. For example, specific ways of giving treats or leashing your dog.
Information Alex B. would like to know about your pet
It’s good to know what sort of physical limitations your dog has, or if they’re dog reactive. Also good to know if they’re skateboard reactive. Things like that :)
A typical day
I love walking around Carroll Gardens! It’s such a cozy neighborhood with plenty of friendly dogs to say hi to. It’s also super fun to go to the piers or the dog park if there’s time.

Availability
I’m currently freelancing as an illustrator and artist, so my schedule is very flexible. Ideally I’d like to have two to three dogs to walk Monday through Friday. My work can be seen at Alex Brown dot net.
