I'm a teacher. I usually leave my house at 7:30 and return by 3:30. On weekends, I tend to stay close to home and just hang with the animals in my care. Of course, during the summer, I can devote all my time to your pet(s).

Information Alex D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has special needs or specific behaviors I should be aware of, such as separation anxiety, stranger aggression, or a tendency to destroy objects or relieve themselves inside. Some of these can be accommodated on a case-by-case basis

A typical day

Walks and runs at nearby parks and trails. We'll play games like fetch and tug-of-war. When your dog is all tired from activities, we chill and watch TV, with plenty of breaks for pats

Alex D.'s Neighborhood

Alex D. has Star Sitter status

The Star Sitter program highlights responsive sitters who deliver highly rated care and have a history of listing accurate availability and preferences, making it easier for pet parents to find the best care for their pets.

Experienced and reliable caretaker

Pet care experience

I've been caring for dogs and other pets for over a decade. I own a house with a large, fenced-in back yard where your dog can run around freely. I take my care responsibilities very seriously, and make sure your pet gets more than enough exercise, attention, and nourishment. It's my joy to see animals happy, so I treat your pet as if it were my own (I do not currently have any pets of my own). My neighborhood is great for walks, and there are woods and dog parks nearby. If you want your pet to be comfortable and happy while you're away, you've found their resort!

Alex was wonderful! We appreciate all of the pictures and updates he sent. He was great about taking our pups on walks and keeping them active. They love him!

Alex is wonderful with my elderly dog, Zoe. I appreciate the peace of mind knowing that he's taking great care of her and she's so happy on her own vacation with him. Thank you, Alex!

Alex was very professional and accommodating of our last minute booking. He has a calm, caring demeanor which put Archie at ease right away. Alex was able to provide lots of activity for Archie, who is a high energy breed.

Our 2 boys have never been happier! Alex did an amazing job with our Australian shepherd and corgi that can be quite the handful! We got daily photos and updates and will definitely be reaching out to him again!
