Active dog walk/runner, South Side!

Pet care experience

My name is Alex and I've been taking care of my friends and family's dogs for over 7 years now. I've taken care of dogs that are super energetic such as huskies, english setters, border collies, and terriers, all of which match my own wanting to run around and playful attitude. I'm super flexible with my schedule and love to be outdoors (rain, snow, or shine, you know how it is in Chicago!) If you have any special requests for taking care of your dogs like trying to teach them a new trick or obedience, I can do that as well. Dogs respect me as an alpha-male, as I don't let them trample over me and I reward them for good behavior!

Alex walked our puppy for several months and was phenomenal. He was always punctual, communicative, and super thoughtful. He took our pup around the neighborhood, gave her tons of great exercise, and gave detailed updates. She loved hanging out with him and we are so grateful for his help!

Since I work from home I'm able to monitor pets with a watchful eye and take care of whatever their needs are like boredom, hunger, and potty!

Information Alex M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog is kid/people/dog friendly so I know during a walk who I should be more cautious around. Just let me know if there's anything else I should know about your loved one(s)!

A typical day

If there's a park nearby then that's usually my go-to for walks and if they are trained then we can play fetch! If they are a repeat dog of mine, then I like to change up my routes so they can see something different each time.
