Highlights
Pet care experience
Recent college graduate & dog lover
I’ve taken care of dogs for both family members and other clients for free, providing dog walking/sitting services for dogs ranging from Yorkies to Great Danes. I’m a huge dog lover who is willing to do anything necessary to keep them entertained and loved, whether that’s walking them for a mile at 2 am or cuddling with them as I sleep. I truly value the connection between humans and dogs, and even those who are more unfriendly are able to warm up to me quite rapidly. I’m very flexible overall and would accommodate any client needs!

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I love giving pets the freedom to have fun and explore while maintaining discipline and good behavior. I enjoy walking dogs regularly and keeping them healthy through consistent exercise, and I also love cuddling with any pet and making sure they’re never bored or lonely. I’m a firm believer that a pet should never be locked in the same room all day, so I love constant movement and attention. Another priority of mine is pet safety and security, ensuring they aren’t in a stressful environment that reduces their happiness.
Ratings and reviews
Thank you for going the extra mile today to clean up the trash Athena got into!
Great with dog. Excellent communication. Best compliment is that I would use him again and refer him to friends!
The dogs have never looked so happy on a walk! Thank you so much
We have an adolescent large dog who has barely been with us a month. We asked Alex to join her life and come twice a week for walks and each time he has been responsible, responsive, and kind. He’s aware of her training needs and always updates us. It’s so special to see pictures of our dog during the workday knowing that she’s having fun and is in safe hands. Highly recommend!
My typically timid Leo warmed up to Alex within minutes and only briefly hesitated before trotting off for their first walk together. Alex was wonderful and reassuring to him.
You can 100% trust this person to care for your dog or cat. He is extremely trustworthy, patient, gentle, and genuinely great with animals. I trusted him to watch my two Chihuahuas, who are very anxious and sometimes aggressive around new people, for several days, and they had absolutely no issues with him. I checked my home cameras while away and could clearly see how attentive, calm, and caring he was with them. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and compassionate pet caregiver.
Calendar and availability
Schedule
As a recent college graduate, I’m currently a door dasher and searching for part-time jobs, so I have a lot of flexibility to take care of pets and commit to pet sitting or walking. I’m open to any hours of the day including overnight care if necessary.
