Highlights
Pet care experience
dog lover and pet care professional
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!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
If any aspect of care involves me entering your home, I am happy to follow any rules or guidelines which make you feel more secure. If I'm going to be staying in your home, please let me know about any pet/security cameras ahead of time for my own privacy.
Ratings and reviews
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.
Easy to work with pet sitter!
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!
Thanks to Alex for taking good care of our pups! Right before we left, one of them got a bit sick and we delayed our trip. Alex was flexible with the changed schedule, attentive to the medical info, and administered her medicine well while we were gone. Our other dog, who is high energy, was calm and happy when we got home too. We received plenty of pupdates throughout the trip. Would book again!
I will absolutely ask Alex to stay overnight with Finn again. He was very reliable and sent frequent updates of photos and stories about how Finn was doing. Finn is super happy to get to hang out with Alex!

Schedule
My main work right now is at Chuck & Don's, where I work 6-8 hour shifts most days. As such I often need to be out for significant periods of time, but am happy to spend any free time sitting with your pets, and have easy access to any products I might need to help out!
