Expert care for your fur baby

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of dogs since I was 9, my family has always rescued dogs. I’ve been dog sitting for friends and family for the last seven years or so whenever they leave town.

I have to travel for work and I always ask Alex to cat sit for me. He’s very attentive to my cat’s needs and gives me updates on how my little buddy is doing, which I always appreciate. 10/10 I’d recommend him for any pet sitting needs!

Alex loves animals. He has been responsible for, and caring for pets all his life. We have had 3 dogs for over 30 years , and Alex has fed, played with, trained, and walked them. As a youngster he regularly fed and walked our Golden Retriever around the neighborhood. They were inseparable. The same with Roxie, our Bearded Collie. Alex actually trained her, which is no small feat with a Beardie. As an adult he has dog-sat with our Havanese at home for 3 weeks while we were out of the country. Molly was happy and healthy when we arrived back home. Now he is also a devoted cat dad, and takes care of his Midge. In the past he has had a gecko (until he left for college), and multiple fish. He had also taken care of a giant tortoise for several weeks. Approved and submitted by his mother, Carol F.

My chihuahuas don't always get along with everyone. Although, they are getting better, I am often wary of letting just anyone handle them. However, Alex's patience and accommodation surpassed my expectations. Not only was he able to handle my dogs with care, but he also took the time to get to know them and build a rapport with them. It was evident that Alex genuinely loves and cares for animals, which made me feel confident in entrusting my dogs to him.

Alex came over to our place for several weeks while we were away to take care of our red-eared slider turtle, Freddie. He did a great job. He was communicative, reliable, and flexible. When we unexpectedly had to extend our trip, he was gracious and continued to watch Freddie for us. I felt really comfortable having him in our home and knowing that he was looking out for Fred. I would absolutely have him pet sit again.

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or preferences, and how they react to being around cats or other dogs, just so I know what to expect during walks.

A typical day

I live in a big residential neighborhood with big sidewalks and lots of little critters like squirrels, bees, lizards. sparrows and crows. I love to play with pets, especially at the nearby park.
