Positive, Upbeat, Dog Lover!

Pet care experience

Hi! I'm Alex. I've had at least one dog as a companion for my entire life - now that I've moved across the country to live in LA, I'd love to put some of my finely honed dog-care skills to work! I am a kind, carefree guy but when it comes to looking out for our furry best friends, I am as responsible as they come! My most recent furry friend, a Goldendoodle named Winston, is living back on the east coast with my dad - I raised him from pup to adult and he's been the smartest, kindest companion I've ever had. I wish I could have brought him with me, but he's not cut out for city life. I've always taken great care of him and he's second to none in my family. And that's how I go about treating every single dog I meet! I work in the film business and have a flexible schedule. I'm hilarious (which you might notice, but it might be a little harder for our four legged friends to see) and I've seen a lot of interesting things while working in L.A. A fun fact about me is that I'm terrified of sharks, but I'm really good at hiding it. I am ready to go the extra mile for you and your dog. Hope to meet you both soon! -Alex

Hello, my name is Mindy Jane Schwarz........wow who ever is lucky enough to have Alex look after their pet/s in their absence are very very lucky! He is an exceptionally bright and caring young man who is more than capable of not just minding but loving someones little critters their absence. As I am writing this I only wish that he were her on the East coast so that he could again watch my little italian greyhound Mona. Additionally and just as important as his pet caring skills Alex is responsible extremely trustworthy and able to make quick decisions if there should be any issues. I am very pleased that I have had this opportunity to share my feelings about ALex, who is so lovely and possesses .all the abilities and qualities necessary to efficiently handle this type of responsibility .

I've never met a bigger animal lover than Alex! He's loved all animals his whole life - He grew up with a great big dog named Winston, and lived with my tiny cat Mia for 3 years. He would be the best dog or cat sitter for your pet because he would not just take care of them, he would pet and play with them!

If anyone is to be trusted with a beloved pet, it's Alex. A lover and caretaker of dogs since he was young, Alex grew up with a number of dogs in his hometown of Connecticut. He knows dogs deserve the best—from love and attention to frequent walks and treats. My sister's Pomeranian Lulu and Pomchi Yoshi are big fans of Alex; his sunny disposition and upbeat attitude are infectious. When it comes to dog sitters, you need someone reliable, patient, and fun. Alex is all of those things and more and I would trust him with my dog in a heartbeat.

Information Alex R. would like to know about your pet

No breed preferences - though I have a particular soft spot for poodle-mixes and Frenchies. I always want to be as informed as possible when it comes to the health of the pets that I take care of so please be sure to let me know all about your furry friend's diet and any details about health or behavior that I should know about. Otherwise, I love all breeds, shapes and sizes! Would also be good to know your dog's preferences in terms of socializing with other pets. If I should stay clear of other dogs at the park or on walks, I'll be careful to do so!

A typical day

There are tons of great places in the area to go for leashed walks including Anthony C. Beilenson Park/Lake Balboa, Sherman Oaks-Van Nuys park, Wilacre Park, and Dixie Canyon Park. Of course I am open to your recommendations if your best friend has a normal routine! I'm a very affectionate dog lover and if your guy/gal has the energy wants attention, I'll always oblige! Big fan of catch!
