Trutsworthy, Dog and Cat Caregiver

Pet care experience

Hello, regarding my experience taking care of pets; I grew up taking care of a Yorkie Poodle since I was ten. In the past I lived with and helped take care of my roommate's Husky. At the time the Husky was less than six months old. During this time, I also got my first cat. This provided me the experience of taking care of a young Husky along with a kitten, which was always entertaining. Last year I lived with another roommate who has a black German Shepard, who was also around six months old. I now live alone with my cat (Kilo). Kilo is about a four years old now and very friendly with humans and dogs. I am a graduate student at the Medical College of Wisconsin, so my schedule varies but I will always stick to my commitments. I appreciate the opportunity!

Alex is really great with my dogs! I have a 2-year-old pup who can be quite crazy and high energy. He plays really well with her and runs her down until she sleeps all night. He's also very gentle with my 15-year-old dog. He's super responsive and easy to work with. I can be very picky with my sitters because of their distinct personalities, but I put the utmost trust in him whenever he's with them.

Alex is an exceptional dog caregiver who has a natural affinity for our four-legged friends. He is patient, kind, and has a gentle approach that dogs seem to respond to right away. He takes his responsibilities seriously, tailoring his care to each dog's individual needs, ensuring that they are happy and comfortable. Alex has extensive experience taking care of dogs, including Baxter, a Brussels Griffon. He knows how to handle their specific needs, whether it's going for long walks, playing with toys, or just cuddling up for some quality one-on-one time. Alex's attention to detail is remarkable, making sure that each dog's needs are met, from exercise to food and water intake. He is also reliable and punctual, taking care of your dog with the utmost professionalism. If you're looking for someone who truly loves dogs and will take excellent care of your furry friend, look no further than Alex.

Alex is a person that I fully trust to take care of my dog. He has watched her various times throughout her life; caring for her since she was a puppy up until now (6 years later). He is very caring and treats her like his own! He has watched her for a few hours, to a couple of days at a time. Couldn’t have asked for a better dog caretaker!! Alex is also very experienced with cats! He is the only cat owner I have ever known to train his cat to give paw! A very cute command for his cat. He also has helped watch my brothers cats for a while! Alex is THE person you want to watch your fur friends. He is a reliable person with great experiences with both dogs and cats.

Safety, trust & environment

I would be more than happy to take your dog out for walks around the area. I can feed them or just keep them company if your dog has separation anxiety. I am also willing to do the same for cats.

Information Alex G. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your cat or dog has any special needs or behaviors that I should know about. I would be more than happy to accommodate them!

A typical day

I find it very beneficial to have dogs play fetch. Even if your dog is a terrier, often times they will at least chase the ball (bringing it back is another story). Otherwise, I would be happy to walk them around the neighborhood!
