Dog owner looking for dog friends!

Pet care experience

Hey guys! I am a freelance mechanical engineer and full-time dog lover! I've had dogs all 31 years of my life of all shapes and sizes, and it's always a pleasure meeting new friends. My wife and I both work from home and we have two dogs ourselves who would love some company! We have a large fenced yard and doggy door access so your doggo will have access to climate control as much as they want, and our pup Gunter has a large selection of toys that he can't play with all by himself so he'd love to share. I also love taking dogs on walks so I'm available to keep your pet busy during the workday too. If you're looking for someone trustworthy and professional to take care of your loved one when you're away, I'm your guy!

Alex and his wife Jackie are awesome and did a great job with my samson while I was on vacation. Alex kept me up to date with samson while I was gone. He sent pictures and text messages the whole time I was gone. They made me feel very comfortable with them. Alex and his wife have great knowledge when it comes to pets, they will do whatever you ask them to do when it comes to the well being of your pet. They treated samson like one of their own, samson had a ball with them and their pups gunter and lady. Samson came home a very happy puppy and that made me feel good. I would definitely recommend Alex and would definitely use him again if I needed a great dog sitter. Thankyou Alex and Jackie.

Alex did an amazing job watching our two little doxies. We left them with him and his wife over the weekend and we were very happy to know they were in good hands. They provided regular updates and check-ins (including photos) and they were able to accommodate all of our instructions for caring for our little ones. They have a great fenced in yard so our dogs were able to run around and get fresh air. They also have a very nice area inside with dog beds, food and water. Their doggie door lets the dogs go in and out as they please. We will be using him again if we need another pet sitter. We felt very comfortable leaving our dogs with Alex and would definitely recommend him to any of our friends.

This was our first dog sitter, ever. We left our 2 pups (each about 1.5 years) with them for a long weekend. From dropping them off to picking them up, we were extremely pleased and wholeheartedly agree these were great hands to leave our little guys in. A few things that stood out Attention to instructions: We are definitely above the average in leaving instructions, (we did leave 2, not 1, dogs in their possession who had never been separated from their owners). But Alex and his wife were very, very attentive to every detail we gave. They were not shy about asking any questions, specific or broad. Upon picking up our dogs, they also gave an excellent thorough report which was all positive. Security - Our 2 dogs were miniature dachshunds, known for their digging, so we were very concerned about the risk of them escaping. Alex and his wife assured us of their attentiveness to our dogs, but also showed us their spacious yard which they reinforced with a fence that would keep our little guys in, and any other guests certainly out. Facility/Home- Living in the Texas sun during summer., we had concerns about the exposure the dogs would have outside. But Alex and his wife gave us a nice a tour of their home and yard, and even at the sunniest hour, the yard was very well shaded by tall trees. Needless to say, the pups spent most their time inside and the indoors was plenty spacious. Care - Plenty of history taking care of both young and old, sick an healthy pups. We revisited Alex and his household about 3 months later, and our dogs couldn't have wagged their tails more upon seeing them. Overall, would recommend

Alex and his wife Jacky are two of my most trustworthy friends. I’ve known them both for several years now and have seen how much love and care they put into their own dogs. Even when instilling disciple, they connect and treat their dogs with so much affection. When I become a dog owner myself, I would not hestitate in asking Alex and Jacky to care for my dog(s) as I know I would be able to leave town without a worry.

Information Alex J. would like to know about your pet

I don't have any breed preference, but I would like to know any dietary restrictions or behavioral issues. Does your dog have separation anxiety? Are they nervous around men, or around loud noises or sudden movements? What is their feeding schedule?

A typical day

I like to go walking in the St. Andrews Addition neighborhood that we are a part of. These are nice shaded streets with minimal traffic. At the house I like to play fetch and hide and seek with the dogs (I throw the ball and then hide before they get it, then they have to find me!).
