Pets deserve vacations too!

Pet care experience

That’s right- 15 years of experience with pets and animals of all kinds! I grew up helping my mother manage her non profit animal rescue, and have had a passion for caring for animals ever since. I’ve taken care of thousands of dogs and cats in my life, in addition to a number of farm animals and exotic pets. I will love and provide for your pet like it’s part of my family while it’s with me.

We were so comfortable on our vacation knowing Alex was watching our pets. He kept us well informed. Highly recommend him.

Alex is very responsive and accommodating. My dog seemed very happy and relaxed when I picked him up. I would use Alex again.

Alex was very accommodating and flexible and my dog had no hesitation in going with him and got along very well with Alex's dog. I would use him again if in the area.

Information Alex R. would like to know about your pet

Please inform me of any food aggression, separation anxiety, or potential accident proneness. These aren’t dealbreakers! I have lots of experience with all of these types of issues- but knowing ahead of time helps me plan activities and make arrangements for the health, safety, and happiness of your pet while their here!

A typical day

The area I live in has a dedicated dog park, tons of big open fields, and nearby bigger dog parks. During the day, I work from home, and your pet will have free run of our home with lots of toys. I will be able to walk your dog as much as you need, and I’m fully prepared to accommodate high energy dogs that need several walks a day.
