Daily 3+ Mile Hikes & Big Yard
Pet care experience
While many sitters offer love and basic care, my expertise is rooted in a deep understanding of larger dogs, though my passion and knowledge encompass all breeds. Recognizing the unique needs of larger canines, I ensure they are exercised daily, going beyond the confines of a regular walk. Our daily adventures into Griffith Park are a testament to this, where each dog gets to experience an unrushed yet vigorous 3+ mile hike filled with mental stimulation and new experiences. Back at home, my expansive yard (see below for details), provides a sanctuary for supervised play at any given moment. This combination of specialized knowledge and dedicated facilities ensures that every dog, irrespective of size, receives the tailored care they truly deserve. On top of this, I offer a complete package of family love for your special four-legged friend. I have a wife and two teenage daughters who are equally dog mad and will be only too happy to offer love and attention any time of the day or night that your dog needs it!
Reviews
Alex has a lovely home and great dogs. He's very warm and welcoming, and he accommodated all of my pup's needs as well as my schedule.
Alex has been an absolutely fantastic dog walker for my pup, Stella. I have had reliability issues with dog walkers in the past and haven't had a single issue with Alex. He always shows up when he says he's going to, sends me updates, let's me know if anything was out of the ordinary and keeps me posted of his availability schedule. I feel very fortunate to have found someone I can trust to walk my dog while I'm away at work and highly recommend Alex for anyone who is looking for a walker or sitter!
Alex was super helpful and able to do a last minute drop in visit! Very reliable and quick to respond! Thank you Alex!
AMAZING family who took the best care of my rescue dog Toby when I was away! I cannot say enough good things about Alex, Mina, and the girls. Alex is quick to respond, and it was easy to set up a meet-n-greet before my trip. Toby settled in quickly and easily, and I know he was well loved and cared for! I never worried about my little guy the entire time because I knew he was in such good hands, and I received adorable daily messages and photos from Alex throughout my trip. I like that Alex works from home so I knew Toby wouldn't be alone all day, and they only take in one dog at a time so I didn't have to worry about whether or not Toby would get along with another dog. My dog also loves kids, and these two are very sweet with him! I will most definitely be booking with Alex, Mina & the girls again!

We have a very relaxed policy with dogs in our home. They are free to hang out and sleep anywhere they want to! Being around them all the time will, I hope, allow you to relax while you are away. I am very happy to follow any contact/reporting methods that can give you more peace of mind.

Information Alex B. would like to know about your pet
I have two large but friendly dogs Vesta (Rottweiler 3yrs) & Flo (Bull Mastiff 2yrs). Dogs are like humans and some get along and others don't. With this in mind, I would suggest a meet n greet before you drop your precious pup off. My dogs do play hard ...They love to chase, tug of war, and wrestle when home. If you want the hike experience but a more calmer playtime at home I can accommodate any requests.

A Stay Beyond the Ordinary Every pet carer offers walks, but in our house, we believe in transforming them into a unique adventure. Every day, your dog can join our pack of 2 (Vesta & Flo) and embark on an unrushed 3+ mile hike in scenic Griffith Park. These aren't just your regular dog walks. They are immersive experiences that as well as offering an exciting physical exercise experience, prioritize the natural curiosity of all dogs by allowing them ample time for exploratory sniffing sessions (prolonged mental stimulation) among all the new and amazing scents they will find in such a large natural setting that Griffith Park offers. Once back home your dog will enjoy the luxury of a spacious yard that’s been tailored to letting dogs be dogs. Leave your favorite dog toys (Or let us introduce new ones!) and let the fun begin! With a mix of wilder slopey areas and then flat parts covered with wood chips your dog will have an oasis of fun and exploration whenever they want to go outside. But what truly sets our space apart is our commitment to supervision. Whenever the dogs feel the itch to play or simply bask in the outdoors, they can do so under a watchful eye, ensuring their safety and happiness at all times.

My daily and weekly routine is already woven around my own dogs and it will be the same for your dog(s) too. My lifestyle ensures that dogs under my care are seldom alone. In fact, the only times they might be alone in the house is during occasional short errands, and even then, it's never for more than an hour. However, for those who prefer uninterrupted companionship for their furry friends, I can make arrangements to ensure they are attended to 24/7. Rest assured, your pet's well-being is always my top priority.
