Pet care experience

I’m a dog lover and expert. If you have a dog who likes to play with other dogs, or gets lonely, this is definitely the place for you. I have a 45 lb viszla/pitt mix of my own who loves to cuddle, exercise and play—and wants a friend around. I take dogs out to play for at least 30-60 minutes a day for exercise and love when they sleep in my bed at night. Im a firm believer in using positive reinforcement through praise, treats, and patience when taking care of dogs. I’m consistent with direction and make sure that dogs know that I am in charge (i.e. I don’t let them tug on the leash when walking). I work from home 50% of the time and am flexible based on your dogs needs. I definitely give a lot of attention to dogs. I assure you your dog is in excellent hands!

Alex is the best dog sitter we’ve had yet! Alex provides regular doggy updates with photos letting us know our dog was happy and in good hands. Nala loves playing with his dog, Chance and there’s pictures to confirm it. We’ll be using Alex for all our future dog sitting needs! Five stars!

Alex, thank you for taking the best care of Drake. Knowing that he's in great hands is a comforting feeling when on vacation and knowing it's one less thing to worry about. Thank you again for everything!

Information Alex R. would like to know about your pet

Is your dog friendly with other dogs? Is your dog potty trained? Will your dog chew my belongings when I’m not home?

A typical day

I live by Smith Park, a nice area to meet other dogs and play fetch on a sunny day. With your permission, I’d love to take your dog to the dog-beach. And the dogs will play for hours in my backyard (and in my living room, the couch, and my bed).
