Caring, Reliable, and Patient

Pet care experience

I've been surrounded by pets ever since I was a baby, and in total, I've raised 2 dogs and currently have 3 cats that I've raised since infancy living back at home in Cupertino. I also used to babysit my neighbor's dogs and take them out on walks when they were away. As an environmental science major with a focus on marine conservation at UCSB, my passion for animals is what drives my dedication to their well-being. But being away from home has me missing my pets very much, and I would love to supplement that with taking care of your pets during my free time!

Alex was an AMAZING rover. He kept me updated often about Enzo. I didn’t have to reach out to him once, he was on top of pictures and updates which allowed me to enjoy my trip! He is a true dog lover. If you’re looking for someone to take care of your dog like their own, USE ALEX. He even took him on long walks and made sure Enzo was active/enjoyed his time there. He made Enzo’s experience less “scary” and Enzo even jumped out of the car right to him. I will definitely be reaching back out for future bookings!

Alex was super responsible and communicative. I have a senior dog, and he was on top of all of her special needs, in addition to being very caring. Thanks!

Alex is an amazing energetic and passionate individual, he’s a caring individual that always makes sure his friends are just as happy as he is. When it comes to animals he is a delicate and attention giving person. He once found stray cats and decided to help find them a home.

Information Alex L. would like to know about your pet

Please inform me of any special needs or behaviors your pet may have so that I can provide the best care possible. Your pet's well-being and comfort are my top priorities, and knowing their unique requirements helps me tailor my care to their specific needs. Knowing their likes and dislikes as well as their habits will help a lot in ensuring your pet has the care they deserve.

A typical day

A typical day involves a mix of routines and exciting activities. Cuddles, playing with our favorite pet-friendly toys, a delicious breakfast, followed by scenic walks or hikes along the beach, through nature, or even just our local dog park to interact with others if they'd like. Interactive play sessions and training exercises to keep our furry friend engaged, as well as puzzling toys to perhaps challenge their mind. Afternoon walks provide fresh air and exercise, and I always keep on the lookout for a cozy spot to rest. Evening routines include dinner and quiet bonding time. Of course, I will tailor activities and walk locations to suit each dog's needs and personality, creating a fulfilling and enjoyable day for both your loved one and myself.

I usually have classes in the morning but they usually aren't very long and I typically come home right after to spend the rest of my day studying at my desk or on the computer. I don't party or go out, I'm a happy homebody. But during my free time I love the outdoors, going on hikes, swimming, and spending time in nature, and having a pet to take care of would give me a companion to do it with.
