Availability
I keep a steady, predictable routine that makes it easy to give dogs consistent care. I’m active every day, so walks, playtime, and enrichment naturally fit into my schedule. At home, dogs hang out in my bright sunroom or relaxed living spaces while I’m working or doing things around the house. I’m home often throughout the day, with plenty of breaks for attention, potty trips, and movement. Evenings are calm and structured, with feeding, downtime, and plenty of cuddles or quiet rest depending on your dog’s style. Weekends give me extra time for longer walks, exercise, or just hanging out with your pup. Your dog stays on a clear routine and gets regular supervision, attention, and a calm environment throughout the week.

About Alex G.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I create a calm, structured environment so dogs feel safe and comfortable. I only host 1–2 dogs at a time, which keeps things low stress and allows me to give each pup personal attention. Dogs can relax in my dog friendly sunroom, hang out with me in the main living areas, or rest in their crate if that’s part of their routine. I follow your feeding, walk, and medication instructions closely. Potty breaks, exercise, and check-ins happen regularly throughout the day. I keep my home clean, organized, and free of hazards, and I’m always nearby to supervise, give attention, and make sure your dog feels at home.
Home
Information Alex G. would like to know about your pet
When I board a dog, I like to know a few key things so I can give them the best care possible: their daily routine, feeding schedule, and any allergies or medications. I also ask about their crate habits, bathroom schedule, and how they do when left alone. It helps to know if they have any quirks—like anxiety, resource guarding, or reactivity—and how they interact with other dogs and people. Lastly, I want to understand their energy level, what calms them, and what makes them comfortable so I can keep their stay safe, fun, and stress-free.
A typical day
I love keeping pets happy and engaged, so I make sure they get plenty of attention, playtime, and movement. That might include walks around the neighborhood, exploring the fenced yard, training games, puzzle toys, or just relaxing and getting lots of affection. I match their energy, whether that’s a calm cuddle day or an active play session, so they feel right at home.

Reviews
Love Alex!! Our dog Gunnar seemed very comfortable. Alex sent lots of pictures so we could see that he was doing fine and he also got along with his dog too. Will definitely use Alex again!!
Bear returned tired from his play time away from home. Alex did a great job of caring for my fur baby. He’s returning again very soon!!!
This was the first time Alex had watched my Chloe, and I couldn't have been more pleased! He was responsive, accommodating, and flexible to my schedule. I received regular pictures and updates, and felt completely at ease the whole time I was gone. Chloe did great, and I will definitely be booking with Alex again and recommending him to my friends!
Alex was wonderful, I highly recommend him! I felt comfortable leaving my fur baby with him for 7 days. He sent pics and multiple updates everyday. I will be a returning client.
