Pet care experience
I've been taking care of dogs and cats all my life. Friends have relied on me to walk, feed, and groom their pets. I'm always the first person people count on when looking for help with their pet. I work from home on a flexible schedule and friendly neighborhood. My schedule let's me give your pets plenty of attention and care on a regular basis. I have a fenced yard for your pet to play chase with another dog buddy. When needing some space, crates and dividers to keep them safe and relaxed.

Alex is the best caregiver I have known so far. I left Spark for the longest duration since he is with us. It was 15 days stay and was very comfortable. Alex shared the updates with report and pics every single day. We did video calls too. Spark was loved and comforted to the best while we were away. He enjoyed the company of Abby and had loads of fun. I cannot think of any other caretaker for my baby apart from Alex. He is the best !! Thanks a lot Alex!!
As soon as we started messaging, Alex made me feel at ease that they would be able to accommodate Smores and her needs. He sent photos and updates of her. She had a wonderful time on their walk and we got such cute photos of her. We will definitely be using Alex again. He was very easy to communicate with and replied quickly. Smores loved her visit with Alex.
This was the first time that we left our dog with a sitter and that we had been without him for this long (2 weeks). We were very emotional about leaving Teddy him with a sitter due to our trip but Alex was empathetic and assured us that he’d be in really good hands. Not only did Alex live up to his promise, he went above and beyond by taking and sharing pictures and videos of Teddy every single day. He also shared daily updates about his activities, eating and sleep. He helped us gain complete peace of mind and the initial anxiety quickly faded. Alex kept Teddy on a daily schedule of walks and accurately followed our instructions on his daily feeding. All in all, we couldn’t have asked for a more passionate and professional sitter to take care of our dog. We will DEFINITELY be going back to Alex the next time we need dog sitting for Teddy. Thank you so much again Alex!!
Alex was excellent taking care of Quentin. Quentin has never left my side for such a long period of time since I adopted him at 3 months old so naturally I was a bit nervous. But Quentin had a blast with Alex and Abby and I feel relieved knowing he's having a great time and not moping :) I also appreciated all the pics and vids since I miss my boy a lot on my trip. Thanks Alex!
