Pet care experience
From nurturing animals since childhood, to rescuing animals like a blind and deaf pup, lost cats, and orphaned wildlife, my heart beats for every creature big and small. I’ve not only cared for mammals but also exotic reptiles and amphibians, adding a touch of adventure to my repertoire. With experience with bearded dragons, frogs, salamanders, arthropods, and small mammals, my home is a place for creatures of all kinds. As a certified dog groomer and stylist, I also can pamper your pups before they leave with an additional fee (message me for details) ensuring they leave looking and feeling their best. While I share my home with my 3-year-old niece, rest assured your pets will have a dedicated floor to roam and play without any disturbances with Tigzy, my affectionate 10 year-old Maltese. She is super sweet and loves welcoming new friends. So, whether it’s a playful puppy or a senior dog, your pet will receive top-notch care in a loving and structured environment. Rest assured, they will enjoy the diet you tailored to their needs, with strictly no human food allowed. Treats are reserved as rewards for good behavior, ensuring they stay healthy and motivated during their stay. Your pets’ well-being is my top priority, and I’m dedicated to providing them with the best care possible.
Reviews
Alex took great care of Beans! We would definitely have him dogsit for us again.
Alex was great with my little booboo. pick up and drop off were easy. Very acknowledgeable of how to care for dogs. Updated me everyday! Thank you Alex ?? Will book you again for sure!
Alex is much more then a dog sitter. He loved my dog and took fantastic care of her but he also worked on training her as if she was his dog! I call him the dog whisperer because he truly loved my dog and he took so much extra time to work on training her to help her walk on a leash properly and be better behaved. Alex has a passion for animals and a gift and much knowledge for understanding dogs. We had a great meet and greet first so he and my dog were comfortable. He kept me updated while I was away. My dog was very happy when I picked her up. I highly recommend Alex for dog sitting.
I’ve had Alex care for my animals for many years now. He’s dependable, trustworthy, and kind to all my animals. LOVE him! We highly recommended him!

Information Alex K. would like to know about your pet
Before I care for your dog, let me know what kind of feeding schedule they’re on, veterinarian information, how often and what times you usually take them out to pee or poop, and if they make accidents. In Addition, if there is specific likes, dislikes, and rules you think I should know about, please inform me. I confidently will enforce all rules you have set in place to avoid rebellious behavior upon their return home with you.
A typical day
The day kicks off with a warm good morning at around 6:00 AM as that’s when I start work. The dogs are taken out to go relieve themselves. Shortly after, they are fed. Morning Activities: Throughout the morning, your dog enjoys supervised playtime and relaxation, accompanied by Tigzy, my dog, for some extra company. Two potty breaks are scheduled during this time to keep everyone comfortable and happy. The dogs will be fed at around 10:00 AM. Work Hours: While I’m working, rest assured that your dog is in good hands. I work from home and will be monitoring them the whole time. I finish work at about 2:00 PM. Our afternoon activities include indoor playtime, outdoor playtime (if the weather is nice) and a nice walk if your dog is high-energy. Evening Relaxation: As the sun sets, our pets have their second meal at about 8:00 PM followed by some wind down and relaxation before heading to sleep, happy and content from a day filled with play and companionship.
