Dog lover with flexible schedule
Pet care experience
I'm centrally located in Madrona and have a flexible schedule as a college professor. I grew up in a household with pugs, a chow chow, and a husky. I'm very active and love canine companions for walks and runs throughout Seattle. I'm happy to provide for all your dog's needs while you are away! Don't hesitate to reach out with any questions.
Reviews
Alex took great care of my pup and home. He communicated well the whole time I was away, sent photos, and was flexible when my timing changed. Would definitely recommend & re-book!
We were disappointed with Alex's service, and care for our dogs, and recommend against using him. According to our regular dog walker, there was no evidence that Alex walked our dogs once during his week stay (their leashes hadn't moved, even on days when she hadn't visited). This is despite claiming to have done so at the start of our vacation. He was also an inadequate communicator, providing only one photograph during the week long stay. Any updates were in direct response to a question from me. Finally, when we returned, it was clear that one of our dogs was suffering a severe ear infection; Alex had not provided any communication about this. Alex failed to meet the services provided on his Rover listing, and should not be relied on.
I can't keep writing glowing reviews for Alex because it'll be embarrassing to him! But it has to be said that he has been a reliable godsend for me, who has too many medical issues to exercise my Rhodesian Ridgeback the way he needs and deserves. I am often having to sleep so I leave my apartment door ajar in my secure building and he gets Jake and brings him back without needing me up and about. My friends see Alex walking by our building and say how happy Jake looks when he is out with Alex. Of course the older ladies think Alex is nice looking too ha ha! Anyway Jake DOES like Alex a lot and races around in circles every time Alex gets here. As long as Alex isn't out of town, he is the one I call on all the time.
Alex may be tired of my good reviews ha ha! My dog loves it when he arrives and comes back happy and well-exercised, which is what he needs to keep him healthy and much younger than his nearly 9 years. Thanks Alex!
