Compassionate care for nervous pets

Pet care experience

🐾 A&S Pet Care LLC 🐾 Hi there! I'm Alex, co-founder of A&S Pet Care, a dedicated animal advocate who founded a pet-sitting business to provide compassionate, reliable care to pets of all kinds. Building trust with your pet is essential to me, and I'm committed to creating a comfortable, positive experience for your pet. 💚 What makes A&S Pet Care different? We have a special place in our hearts for reactive, anxious, and fearful pets and understand their unique needs. If there’s anything we can do to make a house-sit, drop-in, or walk smoother for your furry friend, just let us know. We pride ourselves in specializing in caring for reactive, anxious, and nervous pets. 💚 Do you set up meet & greets? We want both you and your pet to feel at ease before booking, so we always prefer an in-person meet & greet to start things off right. We will not confirm our booking until a meet has been completed to ensure that we are the right fit for each other. If your pet is nervous and will need some additional time with us before your vacation, we am happy to accommodate at our drop-in visit rate. 💚 Will you be able to care for my pet in an emergency? We are pet CPR and first aid certified, bonded, and insured, so you can have peace of mind with us as your sitters. 💚 Do you care for any other types of animals? In addition to dogs, I have experience caring for cats, small animals, freshwater aquariums, reptiles, amphibians, and farm animals.

As always, Alex is the best. He is always accommodating even with last minute requests, and our huskies love him. Thanks Alex!

Best dog sitter ever! Kept me in the loop and provided pictures of my pets. He also was able to troubleshoot issues when they came up. Highly recommend!

Alex was an absolute lifesaver for us! He stepped in when we urgently needed a Rover and did an amazing job caring for a paralyzed puppy and our other dogs. Alex quickly adapted to their unique needs and provided the support we desperately needed. We’re incredibly grateful for his help and highly recommend him to anyone in need of a reliable and caring pet sitter.

Safety, trust & environment

⭐️SAFETY & TRUST⭐️ We are rescue volunteers, and safety is our number one priority. During our first meet, please let us know your pet’s typical routine and their rules in the house! Due to our rescue background, we are skilled in reading animal body language and are prepared to respond quickly to your pets in the event of a stressful or fearful event for them. On walks, we are always mindful and cautious around stranger dogs and humans, and find it best and safest for everyone involved to keep our distance! **Your dog will never meet another dog in our care without your express permission.**

Information Alex F. would like to know about your pet

⭐️IMPORTANT TO KNOW AHEAD OF OUR MEET⭐️ Please let us know if your pet has any special needs or how we can work together to make this a great experience for you and your pet. It is very important to us that both you and your pet are comfortable with us before we move forward with the booking, so we always prefer an in-person meet & greet before we officially book.
