Counselor with a love for pets!

Pet care experience

I love working breeds! I trained my blue heeler who was an ex-farm dog. I have experience living with and taking care of dogs, cats and bunnies!

The animals were well taken care of and Alex was in frequent communication. We are so appreciative of the attention he gave to the care of our fur children.

Alex has taken care of Siby (Husky mix) for long periods at a time while I was in Veterinary school. He's very knowledgeable of canine behavior and takes time with each pet. He's also good with heeler breeds and working breeds. He's also very flexible with schedule and different pets needs. Definitely recommend!

Our current living situation does not allow us to have any other pets than our own, but I am more than happy to take care of your pets in their own home or take them on an adventure in the community!

Information Alex J. would like to know about your pet

If cats or bunnies are present in the home I need to know ahead of time so I can make sure that I take my allergy medicine!

A typical day

I understand the special needs working breeds have and how their energy can seem endless! I also understand that their bodies have limits so I am happy to play fetch for days but am also happy to reinforce basic obedience training to tire out their minds as well!
