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!

Can’t recommend him enough- we have two high energy dogs and he went out of his way to make sure they were worn out and happy. He was super flexible on our pick up/drop off. Super responsive. Sent updates and pictures daily. The dogs can’t wait to be boarded w/ him again.

Alex was amazing! He sent update pictures every morning and evening and I picked Kona up very happy and healthy. I definitely recommend Alex and will definitely be contacting him in the future for any boarding.

Alex was AMAZING with my anxious and reactive dog. He sent a ton of updates and clearly went above and beyond with caring for her. I was so impressed by Alex, he truly sets the bar!
