Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets either in my home or yours! In my home, they can run and play safely in my large fenced yard and get lots of love and attention. When I visit your home, I stick to your pet’s routine—feeding, walks, playtime, and any meds—while making sure they’re safe, happy, and comfortable.

Information Alex R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has an accessibility support needs or behaviors that would be beneficial for me to know ahead of time! 😊

A typical day

I tailor activities to each pet’s personality & energy level. For dogs, that might include neighborhood walks, playtime with toys, enrichment games, and lots of affection. For cats and other pets, I focus on interactive play, gentle attention, and keeping their routine comfortable and familiar.

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Alex, and I’m so excited to meet your pet(s) 🐱🐶🦎🐰🐔 I’ve always loved being around animals and enjoy getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I have experience caring for pets of all ages—from energetic youngsters to sweet seniors—and I’m comfortable helping with things like medications, mobility support, or reinforcing basic routines and training. I pay close attention to what each pet needs, whether that’s playtime, exercise, quiet companionship, or a little extra reassurance. Growing up around animals and spending summers on a farm taught me patience, observation, and responsibility, and I bring that same care to every pet I watch.

Alex was very attentive to our kitties and we had no issues once we arrived back home. We will use Alex again! :)

We were thrilled to be able to have Alex's help with our 70-lb bullmastiff mix, and our dog couldn't have looked happier in every photo :)

Alex was great with our cat, Taydo. Taydo was very shy during the meet and greet and anxious around strangers, but I was happily surprised to see how quickly she warmed up to Alex during her drop ins. Alex was also very communicative and provided detailed daily updates and great pictures of Taydo while we were out of town which we loved!
