Eager, loving guy, any kind of dog!

Pet care experience

I'v been walking dogs for nearly eight years, and have been providing overnight service of periods up to three weeks for four years. In that time, I've taken care of nearly every kind of dog, from English Mastiffs and Lab mixes to Corgis and Pomeranians, and have loved every second of it. Furthermore, I've handled a variety of ages and needs, and I am comfortable with the super hands-on approach to puppy care as well as a variety of medication regimens. I'm always easily accessible through my cell phone, and I am happy to provide owners with any form of update, at any sort of frequency. I am always happy to tailor a routine to a specific dog or owner's needs, but always make sure that exercise and attention are at the center of any approach. Though it varies based on need and ability, I generally try to make sure each dog gets at least two medium-to-long walks a day, with an extra two short ones for any other bathroom-related needs (and more for those in apartments). My work schedule changes frequently, but rarely requires that I spend any more than four hours away from a dog on any day, and I am more than happy to spend as much or as little time with any number of dogs as an owner is comfortable with or may require.

Could not have hoped for better. Alex took care of Terry so well, kept in constant communication and looked after our apartment perfectly. Simply...everything was perfect!

Information Alex F. would like to know about your pet

The first priority is always that any dog feels comfortable and happy, especially when they may be stressed out because of the absence of his or her owner(s). To that end, it is helpful to know of any stress triggers or the occasional escapist habit, so that I can do my best to make sure that they feel love and secure. Any and all breeds are beyond welcome!

A typical day

I'm a huge fan of giving dogs new scenery to explore, and have walked dogs in parks in German Village, the Short North, Gahanna, Granville, and many other places. If a dog requires a little more strenuous form of exercise, I love running as well, and have run with my own dogs for years. I'm also experienced with a number of dog parks in the area. Once again, the main point is that I am extremely happy to meet the specific needs of any dog.
