Alex has dog and house sat for me on a number of occasions. My dogs are always relaxed when I get home from my time away. He will take pictures and send them to me when I'm away, as well, which is a bonus. Alex also takes good care of my home and belongings, leaving the house clean and tidy. He is kind and thoughtful. If he thinks he's made a mistake or messed up in some way, he initiates contact and explains what happened and how he is working toward making it better/right. (He thought he lost a car seat, but hadn't. He burned something to the bottom of a pan and left it spotless.) I appreciate his integrity, kindness and calm demeanor. I recommend him!
