Dog-lover / flexible / last min OK!

Pet care experience

Hi, Thanks for taking a look at my page! I am a recent college grad with a wealth of pet-care experience and I truly love taking care of dogs of all shapes, sizes and temperaments. I am flexible and can work around your/your pet's needs - even on short notice. I view dog-walking as a hobby just as much as I view it as an opportunity to make extra money. Because of this, you won't find me cutting corners or taking the easy way out. I cherish every walk and I will make sure to send you the photographic evidence that your dog cherished it too! With regards to dog-boarding, I live with my family who are all excited about the prospect of a dog hanging out with us for the day (or night)! They will definitely get plenty of love here. Feel free to reach out if you would like to set up a meet and greet or if you would like a copy of my references/resume. I'm new on Rover, but don't hesitate to send your dog right over!

Alex has been great for our pup. He’s always been exactly on time and gives great updates and pictures from the walks.

Alex has an amazing talent, … our family calls him the "dog whisperer". He has babysat our dogs (German shorthaired pointer, German Shepherd, and two golden retrievers), walked our dogs, cared for our dogs and always, always, always our dogs were extremely well taken care of while under his watch. Alex is the ONLY person who was EVER able to walk my sister-in-laws dog, off-leash, and NOT have him run off!! He's amazing!!

Alex did a fantastic job house sitting and taking care of both my dog and cat. The dog is a rescue from Mexico and has some behavioral issues, but Alex made sure she was cared for and things went smoothly. Both dog and cat were doing great when I got back from my trip, I'm not even sure they missed me haha! Alex left the house tidied up and in very good condition. He is very trustworthy and I will definitely be using his services again. I recommend Alex as someone you can count on to house sit and take care of your animals.

Alex is always highly punctual and responsible. He immediately developed a strong bond with our Vizsla, Tikka, and she was always excited to see him. Highly recommend!

A typical day

I give my four-legged friends lots of attention and petting. There is a park in my neighborhood with a nice grassy enclosure that is perfect for dog walking. There is also an open canyon across the street (Manchester Preserve Hiking Trails). I enjoy taking dogs to the canyon as they love it, but I always check with the owner beforehand. The grassy enclosure at the park is a great, safe space to play catch and run around! Dogs are kept on-leash unless the owner specifies otherwise.
