I'll take your dog for a run

Pet care experience

I'm a dog lover with 8 years of care experience. I'm very fit and interested in making sure dogs are well-exercised. A tired dog is a happy and healthy dog. I have a soft spot for large dogs, and I tend to form deep bonds with animals I'm caring for. I have the most experience with larger breeds that require vigorous physical exercise, but I have also looked after smaller dogs and older dogs who have trouble navigating their environment, and need a bit of coaxing to eat and go outside. I am very patient and I am adept at reading your dog's vocal and physical cues. Communication is key. Dogs that enjoy tug-of-war have found the right person. I can ensure an amazing experience for you and your companion.

It is clear that a Alex loves animals and he is very responsible taking care of them. We have a dog and a cat that he has taken care of them for years when needed. He not only walks the dog and feeds them but he plays with them too. They are always eager to greet him when he comes. I highly recommend Alex for petting care.

Information Alex K. would like to know about your pet

I need to know what the ground rules are. If your dog doesn't like being touched anywhere, I need to know. If your dog has any aggressive tendencies, I need to know what triggers that behavior so we can avoid potentially dangerous situations. I would like to know how your companion is to be addressed. Do you use verbal cues or hand signals? I also need to know what your dog LIKES or doesn't like, so that I can be as effective as possible in providing quality care.

A typical day

I enjoy letting dogs lead me where they want to walk, because it's all about their experience. I also love dogs who play. I'm an expert at fetch and tug. Belly rubs are also part of the deal, if that's what your dog likes.
