No dog too big or small!
Pet care experience
As an animal lover raised in a household with dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, and even a turtle, I have had experience caring for pets since childhood. With my beloved 10-year-old golden retriever named Kona, I've navigated the joys and challenges of both puppy energy and senior pet care, handling various health issues along the way. My experience extends to my two cats, Bessie, the older gentle soul, and Joey, our energetic orange rascal. I understand the importance of trustworthy and compassionate care for furry family members, ensuring they receive love and attention while their humans are away. Rest assured that they will be in good hands, and that you will receive quick and clear communication throughout the process. I have experience administering medication to both dogs and cats, including oral medication, subcutaneous injections, and ear/eye drops.
Reviews
Great walk and great communication!
Alex is amazing as ever! I had to go into to work during the last days of the ice storm and he was committed to making sure my pup was well taken care of. When his car couldn’t make it up my icy hill, he parked near by and walked 15 mins up the icy hill to get to her. I told him could try again later if he felt unsafe but he made it! My power was also out so he was giving me updates on that. Thank you so much Alex! You’re the best!
Alex took care of our pets and our home over Christmas and the New Year. He did a fantastic job. We came home to a clean house, and tired, happy pets. He walked and played ball with our dogs- we got lots of photos of tired, happy dogs. Alex went above and beyond with our Border Collie, who gets anxious with fireworks. He gave her anxiety medication, and he even hung out in the basement with her to help muffle the fireworks on New Year's Eve. Alex also cleaned our doodle's ears every three days to help prevent ear infections. We highly recommend Alex and would use him again without reservation.
Alex was great!!! He was professional, punctual and very communicative. He went above and beyond my care instructions and clearly loves animals. He even brought in some packages. Definitely would recommend and book again!
About Alex C.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
My approach to pet care centers around creating a secure and nurturing environment for animals within the familiarity of their own homes. I do my best to keep your pets on the same routine that they are accustomed to to ensure the least amount of stress while you are away. This commitment extends beyond feeding and walks; it encompasses building trust with each pet, while ensuring their comfort, security, and happiness. I will make sure to provide regular photo updates and prompt communication regarding any issues that arise - I know how important this is when leaving your pets for an extended time. You can have peace of mind knowing that your companions are in the care of someone dedicated to maintaining their well-being.
Information Alex C. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know any specific traits about your pet and their temperament, including reactivity to other people/animals, ability to walk along roadways, and behavior around feeding time. Let me know if your animals have a specific schedule or routine that you would like me to follow. For drop-in visits and house sitting, please provide instructions for your pet's feeding, restroom, exercise, and hygiene routines, along with any specific instructions related to maintaining, cleaning, and accessing your home while you are away.
A typical day
I typically walk at a 15-20 minute mile pace, unless your dog needs to go a bit slower. I am occasionally available for 30 minute (3 mile) runs for an increased rate of $35, which is equal to my hourly rate.
