Pet care experience

I grew up with dogs and have lived with them since childhood. I have raised dogs from as young as 6 weeks and have cared for them their entire lives. I currently have two dogs one is a bit older and prefers cuddles to playtime, the other is a seven month old working line GSD so whether you have a lazy dog or an active/high energy dog I’m the sitter for you!

Freddie had another great stay with Alex! Alex always makes us feel at ease leaving our pup with him by sending videos and photos every day. Freddie loves playing with Zana and Cocoa, and is always happy to see them all when we pull up. Thanks for having fun with Freddie this week, Alex!

Alex is always a great host and my pup has a great time with him and his dogs/other boards. I will always go to him for my boarding and daycare needs for our Tucker!

Alex was great with my 2 dogs while I went on vacation. He sent me pictures and videos. My dogs got along well his dog. I would definitely use him again even if for one night.

Alex and his girlfriend were SO sweet to our 10 month old golden retriever. Not everyone could handle that level of energy but he made sure to provide our pup with tons of outside time and sent us daily updates throughout our trip. Amazing experience, will definitely be booking with him in the future!

Information Alex K. would like to know about your pet

Does your dog have any habits/ routines you’d like me to keep up? Are you trying to get them to stop or start a behavior like leash pulling or darting out the door? what schedule are they used to?

A typical day

Typically the day stays with morning breakfast and fetch in the back yard while I get ready for my day. Once my lunch is packed and I’m ready for work I’ll do a training session with Zana but this could be useful for you as well if you’re working on something or would like me to work with your dog, after work I take my dogs on a walk (each dog gets their own individual walk as zana is still learning, after the walk I’ll usually do some more training with Zana and then feed the dogs dinner, after dinner I’ll let the dogs out in the yard and I’ll do yard work while they sniff around and play (Zana usually just follows me around). At this point I’ll typically go inside and eat my own dinner and the dogs usually have a nap as they aren’t allowed by us while we eat. After we eat our dinner the dogs usually are ready to play again and we’ll play some fetch for the evening.

I do work a full time job that keeps me away from home during the work day, but no worries. As an owner of a very active dog breed my schedule is tailored to ensuring she (and your dog) get plenty of exercise. While they’re boarded with us they won’t be bored with us!
