Experienced Lover of Pups in Reading

Pet care experience

I am an experienced pet sitter as well as walker, with a passion for animals. I have taken care of dogs of all ages, sizes and personalities, ranging from Puggles to German Shepherds and everything in between. I live very close to a common which allows me to bring the dogs to a perfect location for walks, playtime, and socialisation. I have had a love for dogs my entire life, and will love and care for yours as if they were my own. In order to make you more comfortable, I will also provide pictures of our walking activities and/or our time together while taking care of them in your home. To make you as an owner feel even more secure in my abilities, I am also fully insured in order to keep your pet, as well as others, safe. As an avid pet lover, I will take all measures possible to keep your pet happy, healthy and safe during this pandemic and afterwards. I will provide doggy bags for walks, wear a mask at all times, stay the recommended distance from others, and have sanitary products available to me at all times. And if that isn’t enough, my girlfriend who is perhaps an even bigger animal lover than me will be joining me on my adventures on occasion.

Alex & Melissa were great with Bentley. They sent me updates and photos during his stay with them. I was never worried about Bentley while I was gone. I will definitely be using them again!

Alex is a natural with dogs. This is probably due to his naturally caring personality. His girlfriend has multiple dogs and they adore him and flock to him. He knows exactly how to play with them and exactly what each and every one of them like. I have full confidence that your dog would love him too.

Alex is great with dogs. He’s gentle and caring, ensuring the dog feels comfortable and loved. He sets clear boundaries for them and gives them firm commands, ensuring they feel safe and secure.

Alex has been a blessing before and during this pandemic in terms of taking care of my dogs. I have had him house sit for me numerous times, for my four dogs varying in size and age. My beagle is an older dog, nearly 13, and Alex has been able to suit his needs and cater to him being an old boy. I also have a younger golden retriever that requires a lot of exercise and play time, and he was the perfect fit to play with her throughout the day and take her out for countless walks to keep her busy. He knows what different dogs require, and meets their needs to the highest standard. My dogs absolutely adore him and get nothing but excited to see him whenever he shows up to take care of them. I would recommend him highly! He’s very loving and caring in every way possible, hiring him was the best choice I’ve made! When my retriever was poorly, he was even able to give her oral medication and provided her with extra care. Nothing but the best!
