Pet magnet seeks new furry friends

Pet care experience

One of the first things people notice about me is how animals are drawn to me. For some reason I was the only person who could sit my cousin's dog, who wanted to bite everyone else. Odds are good your pet will make a new friend while you're away.

Alex did a stellar job caring for my animals and housesitting for me while I was out of town for a couple of days. He was reliable, attentive, and followed instructions to a tee. He will definitely be my first choice next time I need a pet sitter!

Alex was a lifesaver when I needed last-minute care for my cat. He was responsive, clearly experienced — even with quirky orange tabbies — and had basic supplies on hand so I didn’t have to tow clunky things like the litter box or a scratching post. I will definitely be a repeat client!

I am so thankful to have connected with Alex to care for my cat, Thomas! His house is perfect for a kitty and Thomas was instantly comfortable. Communication was great with updates and photos every day. Will definitely book with Alex again.

Alex worked with our one dog who was nervous around him at first. He spent a lot of time at our house with our two dogs while we were on vacation. When we came back our dogs were tired and happy.
