Cozy apartment with 7+ years exp

Pet care experience

I've been caring for dogs since I was little, growing up with my family full of dog-lovers! Having spent time with all types of pups, ranging from a small, rescued Bichon Frisé, to a fun-loving schnauzer, and even a big ole Golden Doodle, there's no dog that I don't love spending time with. While your furry friend is with me, I can assure constant updates and pictures to provide you with a strong peace of mind. I plan out stays as they come in, filling days with trips to the dog park to make friends, long walks as I explore New York City for the first time (recently moved in August), and a seemingly endless supply of cuddles. Also, I do WFH alongside two of my fellow dog-loving roommates during the weekdays, so there's always someone here who will keep an eye on our guest and ensure their safety and enjoyment! If there's any additional care that I should know about, feel free to let me know. My priority is keeping your best friend happy and healthy, while you sit back and relax!

Alex was flexible with my schedule and was so caring of my dog, Freya! Would definitely recommend!

Alex is a friendly, caring, and trustworthy person who I would entrust with my goldendoodle, Theo. He has watched over Theo while I’ve been on vacation and is really good about sending pictures and providing updates. If you’re looking for someone to look after your fur baby I would definitely recommend Alex!

Alex is a dogs best friend!! He was a wonderful dog walker and pet-sitter for my pup. Very respectful, careful, and knowledgeable about dogs. I highly recommend his services!! He will absolutely treat your pet as his own :)

Alex did a fantastic job taking care of my sweet baby Flurry. Flurry can be a handful because she barks at almost everything, but Alex welcomed her into his home with open arms and I could tell Flurry was going to love it here. Alex was responsive, flexible, communicated excellently, and provided me with timely updates and photos throughout Flurry’s time with him. Alex put my anxiety to rest and I would entrust him with Flurry millions of more times!

A typical day

I love walking all over the Eastside, and having a friend with me makes it even better! We’ll go from park to park, taking breaks for water and the best fire hydrants in town. We’ll also play lots of games outside in the good weather, and stay in for some belly rubs on days with bad weather.

Availability

I currently work-from-home full-time, but only with a morning meeting each day. I’m free to set my schedule as I please, and work with fellow dog-lovers who are kind and understanding to the challenges of caring for pets. I also live an active lifestyle, going on long walks. It’d be great to have a companion!
