Availability
I run a consulting business with my wife, and we work from home, but dog care is our full-time joy. Remote work enables me to be fully available for full time care as services are requested.

About Alex M.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
My focus on animal care and joy is paramount, and the reason I engage on this platform. Since starting Rover care now over 5 years ago I have only grown in my already vast knowledge, skills and moreover LOVE and appreciation for animals and their individuality. Their needs and comfort will be attended to 100% of the time. I enjoy hiking or gently walking with dogs, indoor and outdoor playtime, dog parks, and even taking drives if they enjoy the car. Staying home and just being a companion to them is of course a totally legitimate need and an easy ask as well. My top priority is their comfort: and we can discuss that in detail so you know your and their needs will be met.

Information Alex M. would like to know about your pet
I don’t have any preferences other than if they have a nervous tick or “really don’t like it whens”. My wife and I had a rescue for 12 years, and he taught me SOOOO much about dog anxiety and what that means for him to try to communicate! It doesn’t have to be upsetting or unsettling when a dog has needs they can’t communicate, we just have to be available to how they express it and work with them. In short: I can work with any animal. The more I know in advance, the better we all will be for the duration and be able to relax and have fun!
A typical day
Typically when I watch others animals I first ask the parent what the dog actually wants and enjoys, and we take it from there. I will follow your lead on all fronts sleep schedule, playtime habits, eating rituals, etc. It’s all about making sure your best friend is happy and comfortable. Added note: I have a car that I can utilize to take your dog to a dog park or hiking or walking outside of the neighborhood for a fun day activity if that would suit your needs!

Pet care experience
MOST IMPORTANT: We only care for one family at a time, and your dog(s) will only be with us (two adult humans), as we have no animals of our own. Beyond the house and our fenced in property, we can discuss social and individual needs being met while they’re in our care! Please read on for greater detail… Hello! I’m so glad to be on this platform and to meet folks who are looking for serious and caring pet caretakers. I’ve been doing this for most of my life. WHAT I OFFER: Unconditional care and attention to your loved ones and their individualized needs as an active and nurturing dog lover! I take dogs on hikes whenever the schedule and weather permits. Between my wife and I, someone is always home. We take care of dogs full time in addition to running a consulting business that operates remotely. Exercise is available for your animal in the form of active and frequent play sessions in or outside of our home. Hiking and nature walks or dog park socials are within reach as I have my own AWD vehicle to transport them if you wish for them to adventure while you’re away. I have toys and fetch equipment of at least one of every type! For dogs that really just prefer to be cared for and nurtured, I offer my comfort and love and lap time. I think the reviews speak for themselves, but I would love to meet you and your animal to make sure the anrrangement and my personality work for you and to see if your dog(s) can connect with me. Let me know if you have any questions and I hope to hear from you soon!
Reviews
Alex and his wife delivered conscientious care to my 55 lb dog. They were both very involved, engaged, and responsive. Their property has a nice backyard with a high fence, which is perfect for a dog that likes to run around. I’m planning to re-book my dog with them for a longer weekend this summer, and would definitely recommend them to friends and family.
Alex was phenomenal as a sitter for my dog Flynn! I was able to travel out of the country with absolutely no worries! My dog had never stayed with someone other than family and Alex made sure he felt like he was at home! Flynn truly had his own vacation. He was spoiled with homemade treats, cuddles and attention. Alex’s communication was excellent and he shared so many fun pictures. I cannot recommend Alex enough!
Alex was a great host for daycare! He was able to accommodate our schedule, great communication throughout the process, provided daily updates and pictures of Milo's stay. Milo had a wonderful space to play and nap all day, would recommend for anyone needing services.
Another wonderful stay with Alex and Bethany. They take amazing, thoughtful care of my dog. This was my 2nd booking with them and I wouldn’t want to leave my precious pup with anyone else. Highly recommend.
