Must Love Dogs!
Pet care experience
Hi! I've been around dogs of all types all my life. I have a great empathy for them, they sense this and tend to trust me quickly. I've always enjoyed the love, friendship, and loyalty they give! I live in a house in Mission Hills with plenty of comfy places to nap, I am a few blocks from fabulous Pioneer park, and a great nature trail (Robin's egg trail). My neighborhood is great for walking, with hills for active dogs. Well behaved dogs are welcome to stay with me when you are out of town. Your dogs safety is my first concern, and I take that very seriously, I know what it feels like to leave your dog with anyone (family, friends, known or unknown sitter). I am reliable, experienced, and I LOVE DOGS! Unfortunately in 2020 both of my babies passed on due to complications from old age. Ace was 16, and Jada was 17! Of course it has been extremely sad, but I have enjoyed sitting dogs more than normal, to have that dog connection. It was my great honor to give them "the good life", let me do the same for yours! I'm great with all types of dogs, anyone who knows me knows how much I love them. I offer the highest level of service. A stay with me includes multiple daily walks, constant attention (I’m home most of the day, and when I’m not my retired dad is home), daily picture updates, no other pets or kids, any dietary restrictions strictly followed, in a large house with safe large enclosed backyard, and the love of a true dog lover! Check out my reviews, and pictures! Thank you!!

This was our first time leaving Nala with a sitter for an extended period of time and Alex made the process flow seamlessly. He made Nala feel comfortable right away in his home and sent us daily pictures of how she was doing. I felt comforted that I knew she was in good care.
Mabsie, who is very shy and has separation anxiety, just spent 5 days with Alex. He immediately made her feel comfortable with his caring and calm demeanor. It is obvious he has a special place in his heart for dogs! He kept me apprised daily of how she was doing and I knew she was in good hands! I look forward to her spending more time with Alex in the future!
Alex was such a wonderful sitter for my Aussie Harper. Always checked in everyday with pictures and notes from the day they had. Would recommend him to anyone in need of pet care!
It’s very clear that Alex truly does love dogs. He quickly built a real rapport with Clancy and made Clancy feel comfortable in his new setting. He took Clancy on the most wonderful walks on trails near his house — the kind of free as the breeze walks that Clancy loves best. And he provided pictures every day such that we could easily tell that are boy was doing great. His communication with us was fantastic, beginning with setting up the appointment, all the way through pick up arrangements. We so appreciated Alex and his wonderful care for our furry buddy!

A typical day
My favorite thing to do is go on walk/hikes in Balboa Park. There are so many trails, it's a great variety of options. I also now live a few blocks away from Robins egg trail. It's easy to see the higher level of excitement from the dogs when visiting the park vs just around the neighborhood, they love it! I love to go to the dog beach too! I don't charge any extra for these fun excursions! A tired dog is a happy dog, and it helps them settle in to a new environment.
