Pet care experience

Dogs are the best. Lead at Bark Social (Baltimore) managing the doggy day care. I'm the guy they send to open and train the new employees about dog safety and handling. I've helped watch over and play with easily over 50 dogs at a time every day. And I enjoyed every minute of it. Because of this, I have experience with pretty much every breed, age, and size of dog imaginable. I'm also now the guy people come to whenever they get a new puppy and want advice or training, which I'm happy to do because all dogs deserve the best start to a happy life.

Alex was great! He arrived a few minutes early, and our dogs were happy to see him. He spent a few hours with our girls and walked, played with, fed, and snuggled with them. They were tired and content when I got home! Thank you, Alex for coming on such short notice and taking such good care of our pups!

Alex is a phenomenal dog sitter. He is kind, trustworthy and attentive to my dog’s needs. He has watched my dog, Kiwi, on many occasions since she was a little puppy. She absolutely loves hanging out with him too. He goes above and beyond to make sure Kiwi is well cared for while I am away. I highly recommend him.

Safety, trust & environment

I'm quite practiced with looking for cues from dogs to notice changes in their behavior. I'll be sure to address them and inform you if there are any issues. I also love taking pictures of them (with permission) so you can receive regular updates.

Information Alex L. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if there's any odd triggers or tics. Or if they're struggling with certain parts of their training. With your permission I can try to work with them to help expedite or maintain their training while you're away.

A typical day

I always like to figure out which ways a dog likes to play and provide that. Whether that's toys, pets, hikes, or even running with them. I also like to try getting really good photos and videos of them that are post-worthy. For those who like to chill I'll sit with them and give pets while I browse my phone. Also gonna try to sneak pics of them too.

I'm generally pretty open and flexible. Early mornings are the most difficult for me but I can stay until late at night if necessary. I like to run around with the dogs (provided they're willing and able) so hopefully they'll get extra exercise.
