Austin Pets Alive! Active Volunteer

Pet care experience

I've been taking care of dogs for the last 20 years and have a strong love for all animals! I'm an active Austin Pets Alive! volunteer and have extensive experience around all types of dogs from puppy to senior, to dogs with more behavioral and medical needs, and can accommodate surroundings accordingly based upon what you, and your furry companion need! I love spending my weekends outdoors whether that's running, swimming, hiking, etc. so your pet will get plenty of exercise, hydration, and belly rubs along the way!

Alex was so good with Windy and even better at communicating with me and sending me pictures every few hours. I didn’t worry about Windy for a second when I was out of town because I knew from the start that she was in good hands.

Alex was great with my energetic pup! They went on a ton of walks and I felt very well updated on their activity. Alex was a great communicator. Would be happy to book with Alex again!

Ales is amazing! There is no other way to describe it. He was the perfect sitter for our lab mix. He was very attentive and made sure she got a lot of time outside. Alex was always quick to respond to messages and did an excellent job sharing picture with us throughout our dogs stay with him. Will definitely use Alex in the future!
