Full-Time Luxury in E Austin, Vax'd

Pet care experience

Prepare to have your dog spoiled with love and attention! I work from home, so am always available for some behind the ear scratches or belly rubs. Dogs love me, even the ones that don't usually like men, and I've cared for many. I live by myself in a luxury building, so there's no roommate to sneak food to your dog when I'm not looking! We can play on the lawn next to my building, walk around the neighborhood, or head to the dog run a few blocks away for longer outings. My schedule's pretty flexible, so most likely available for last minute bookings. Can do evenings and weekends as well. Let me know what rules you have for your dog or habits you're trying to re-enforce and I'll stick to them (eg no sitting on furniture, walk behind me at all times). I'm comfortable giving medication, both pills and liquid, and once saved a choking dog! I'm also vaccinated against Covid, so your dog will be in a very safe household!

Alex always does wonderful with Roo! So many pictures and videos so I know she’s having a blast. Will continue to keep using Alex whenever I can!

Alex was one of the best sitters I’ve had on this app! I booked him for the first time for a last min for an 8 day out of country trip. He was great about understanding my dogs specific needs and sent MULTIPLE pics and messages daily! He even made my pup his homemade food when it ran out before I returned. I plan on making him my regular sitter from this point forward.

Alex is so great, my pup Theo loves each visit and is spoiled accordingly. Alex is so communicative, pays attention to detail, and sends the best updates!

Safety, trust & environment

Aside from being home with your pooch during the day, I've always got one eye out to make sure your pet's not getting into any trouble. This means keeping foods and household items in cupboards and not sitting out, closing bathroom doors, making sure they're not chewing furniture, and generally thinking ahead to make sure they can't get into any trouble, even if I step out.

Information Alex S. would like to know about your pet

I'll ask the following about your dog when we're first in touch! - Any medical/special needs to be aware of, or medicines to be administered? - Do you allow them to eat any human food? - Do they like to jump up on counters or chew things? - How do they react to other dogs? Other humans? - What's their activity level and needs? Personality? Other preferences or things to know?

A typical day

Depending on your preferences and your dog's personality, activities could be a walk or run, meeting other dogs in the nearby dog park, playing fetch or tug-of-war, extended belly scratching, lazy days around the house, trying to catch that infernal squirrel (while on a leash), chewing on greenies or trying to get the peanut butter out of a toy.
