Pet care experience

My name is Alex. I currently have an 8 year old German Shepherd around 115 pounds. I got him when he was only 8 weeks old! Some clients ask to have their pet(S) be the only one at my house and that is perfectly fine, just give me a heads up and I can leave my dog with my mother. I’m an IT consultant and work remote full time. All pets will go on daily walks with pictures and video attached. I live in a single family home with no kids and have plenty of space for dogs to roam during the day! If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask. Happy to meet you and your furry little family member!

Alex is the absolutely best! He treated my babies like his own. My Great Dane and German shepherd pup quickly decided that Alex was their new bestie. They hung out on the couch, took walks together and looked like they all had a great time. My Great Dane can be a bit leash reactive but that didn’t seem to be an issue for Alex at all. He really knows how to take care of animals very well. On top of it, he had to deal with my puppy who is cute as a button but has all the annoying puppy qualities currently and didn’t bat an eye. I am very grateful to have someone so responsible close by to help with my furchildren. Alex is my go to now and will continue to use him from now on. Thanks again Alex!

Alex was great. He took care of my 2 big boys Floki and Sarge (85 and 70 lbs Shepherd mixes). Floki can be a bit skittish upon meeting strangers, but immediately took to Alex. I got pictures and updates from the walk and felt very relaxed leaving them in his care. Will definitely book again.

A typical day

We’ll wake up, the animals will have the option to sleep downstairs on the couch or floor. I’ll make them breakfast (7am-830am) then we’ll go out for a walk. I’ll take my lunch break around noon and take the animals for another walk. After work I’ll take another walk around 5-6pm bring the furry team with me and then we’ll head back and have dinner. I’ll let them all out one more time around 9-10pm to use the bathroom and then lights out! Time to shut it down and recharge the batteries.
