Safety, trust & environment

While I don’t currently offer pet sitting in my home or overnights, I can provide a calm and safe environment for your pet in your home, or on a walk. I used to work at a farm animal sanctuary and have had pets my whole life (cats, dogs, hamsters, turtles, etc.) so I’m very in tune with their needs and comfort.

Information Alex F. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there are any special conditions in the home or with the pets that I should be aware of. This can include safe methods of entry, interaction with the pet, must-do’s or can’t do’s, etc..

A typical day

I’m happy to take dogs for walks, play with toys, run around in an enclosed backyard off leash, whatever your pet needs to have a fulfilling day. I can play with your cats with toys, or just cuddle them and hang out.

Lifetime Pet Rescuer and Caretaker!

Pet care experience

I’ve been taking care of dogs my entire life. I’ve had 3 English setters (Sasha, Sophie, and Pippa), a Staffordshire terrier (Elliott) and a rat terrier (Doc), the last two being rescues. I’m patient and empathetic with our four legged friends. I treat every animal as if they were my own. I’m comfortable with dogs large and small. I can play with and walk your dog, feed and water, even administer medication. I would love the opportunity to help care for your pet when you need a hand. I’m located in Bunnell (Flagler) and I have a reliable SUV to get to and from your pet(s), as well as make emergency trips to the vet if needed.

We could not have asked for a better sitter/walker than Alex. He took Dozer for healthy walks twice a day, provided great pictures and feedback on his mood and behaviors. Alex and Dozer took to each other immediately - I have the feeling that any dog would take to Alex right away. He was great! 5 Stars!

Alex is clearly a dog lover and Uli picked up on that from the first moment they met. He was everything one wants - gentle, responsive and responsible. Will definitely call on him again.

Alex took the initiative to ask to meet Pepper before doing a check-in for us to make sure Pepper was comfortable with him. I really appreciate that he took the time to do that. He took pictures for us a left a summary of what Pepper did which is perfect. We will definitely use Alex again!

Alex has always adored dogs, and when I saw him with his little Pitbull, Elliott, rescued from Hurricane Katrina I was amazed at his patience and compassion. At just one year of age Elliott flourished under his care and attention, as Alex established a routine with love and consistent exercise, in which she felt safe and secure. In later years he nursed her through 3 cancer surgeries and she lived to the age of 13. I can't think of a more reliable or compassionate person to look after a dog than Alex.
