When we go on vacation one of the hardest things to plan for is somebody to watch all our four legged fur-babies. For years we kept putting off vacations that where not dog friendly, longer than the occasional 3 day weekend, or even too far from home just in case something, god forbid, happens to the house or animals. We met Alex just over 2 years ago when he, his lady, and their puppies moved into our neighborhood. Our dogs hit it off and so did we. He is a trust worthy person, very responsible, and just gets dogs. Our pups respond to him just as they would to us, which just shows us that he is the alpha male, the pack leader, the head honcho when it comes to taking care of our animals, his own, and I'm sure all the other dogs he has the opportunity to work with. Many of the over night stays occurred with him staying at our place and we completely trusted him with our belongings, our stuff, and in our home. Alex is by far the best dog sitter we have come across in our 8 years of searching and believe he is the best person to watch your dogs and your home. My only wish is that he came into our lives sooner, but we are glad he came later. Honestly, we miss him dearly and so do our dogs. We wish him the best in Colorado Springs and wish we could convince him to come back to San Diego so we can go on adult vacations without the worry of the dogs at home alone. I am confident that when you hire Alex you are making a smart move in terms of care taking for your animals.
