All pets/owners deserve security

Pet care experience

Reliability, patience, and empathy are how I approach everything in life. I just happen to love animals, and have taken care of dogs since I was 12. I’ve shadowed dog trainers the past two years, and while my priority is to give your pup the love and attention they deserve, I also know how to foster a healthier relationship between owners and their pets. Whether it’s helping dogs who are reactive to other dogs, or as simple as tugging on the leash during a walk, my goal is always to enrich the lives of the dogs I meet, and strengthen the trust between them and their loving family.

Alex has been great for my dog, he is noticeably more calm and relaxed even on days that he doesn’t get a walk. Would recommend to anyone.

Alex is so good with Briar. It’s been a rainy week, but they’ve still managed to have great walks together!

Alex has been such a great help to us! He gives our dog Briar the best personal attention and has helped train her to walk better on- leash. It’s such a relief to know he’s so good with our dog and even checks on our cat when we’re gone long hours. I highly recommend Alex. I’m so happy we found him on Rover. We’ll continue to request him!

Safety, trust & environment

I see my role in two ways, making sure your pet feels secure and has fun, while making sure you feel secure as you’re entrusting me to show a member of your family the care they need and deserve. I come to my clients for walks, and I come into their house to check on pets/pet sit. Respect for my clients, their boundaries, and how they wish for their pets to be taken care of is the most important way to build trust.

Information Alex R. would like to know about your pet

I want to know if your dog is more hyper or calm, if they get along with other dogs, their level of reactivity, what makes them the happiest, what level of training they’ve had. It’s just about knowing the basics so there are no issues, and both you and your dog can have peace of mind.

A typical day

Typically I’ll bring tug toys, enrichment activities, and treats so your dog can both have activities for pure fun and for stimulating their minds. We’ll spend some time outside, ideally at a park. I want them to be able to get their energy out, feel good, and enjoy some companionship because I’m sure they’ll be missing you.

My schedule is wide open and arranged around my son’s school and care. When I’m not in dad mode, I’m in dog mode with a flexibility that allows me to provide consistent walks and establish strong relationships between my clients and I. All mornings, most afternoons, and every other weekend, rain or snow, I’m happy to tend to yours and your animal’s needs.
