Let me know how your pet(s) behave around strangers and other animals, as well as any medical or dietary needs. If your dog is not fixed, or is missing any major shots, let me know in advance. If your pet can be aggressive, please let me know; I am willing to work with you, but need to be fully informed for the safety of myself and your pet.

I'm always happy to respond to your pets' needs in terms of play and exercise. Whether it's an older dog who just needs somebody to keep them company and make sure they're cared for, a kitten who has constant zoomies, or anything in between, I can meet them where they are at.

dog lover and pet care professional

Pet care experience

I've been taking care of dogs for basically as long as I remember, including feeding, walking, and giving medicine to them. From age 16 I was the primary person responsible for walking my family dog and frequently took him on hour-long hikes as well as shorter walks. I also learned how to give him various kinds of medication. I currently work at the pet supplier Chuck and Don's, so have a lot of knowledge about food, supplements, toys, and other products for pets of all kinds! I have experience keeping control of big and energetic dogs, as well as working with dogs that need to be kept separate from other people and animals; I know those kinds of dogs can be difficult, but they deserve love and care too! I also have experience as a cat owner and have cared for a wide variety of cats with many different personalities and needs!

Alex took great care of our senior dog while we were away. He was communicative and attentive to her needs. We would definitely book again.

Appreciated his regular updates, especially given how finicky our elderly Havanese can be. Both house and dogs were well taken care of.

Once again Alex made our lives easier & my senior cat was comfortable and happy when I got home. In addition to care, reassuring photos, and updates, Alex was very prompt replying to my inquiry if I could extend his drop ins to cover unexpectedly extending my time away. So appreciated!
