Pet care experience
I grew up with dogs and cats, and I love taking care of their needs and making them happy. I have 6 years of professional pet care experience; notably with anxious, reactive and/or aggressive dogs. If your dog has a behavior intervention plan, I am happy to learn and apply those strategies during my time with them.
Reviews
Alex was super patient and good with our shy dog! He was also extremely responsive and prompt. Highly recommend!
Alex is so thoughtful and sends the best detailed updates and pictures!
On time and quick to respond. Did great meeting our dog for the first time who doesn’t love people.
Alex is the best. We lost one of our dogs ten days ago and we were worried about having to leave his pack mate all alone over night. Alex made sure to spend quality time with him so he wasn’t lonely.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I cannot provide boarding or pet care at my home. I will travel to clients home and provide all the care they need. For outdoor time, I will take them out in the yard, into the neighborhood, or I can safely load them into my car and take them to a park. I can also provide travel to and from vet visits. For overnight stays we would stay in the client's home.
Information Alex M. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any special needs, or if there is any behavior you are concerned about (reactive and/or aggressive, anxiety, pulling on leash, non-responsive to commands, anything at all you are concerned about)
A typical day
We will be going on walks to explore the neighborhood and any parks nearby. We will be having off-leash playtime either indoors or in a fenced yard if available. Mental stimulation and enrichment is key!

Availability
I balance a career as a pet caretaker and a musician. I try to reserve later afternoons and evenings for music playing and teaching, and I reserve mornings and early afternoons for pet care. I'm typically available for walks/visits M-F 8am-3pm. I also offer overnight stays dependent on availability.
