On here for my love of dogs over $$

Pet care experience

I took care of my Alaskan Malamute for 12 years. Although he passed away recently and I am not yet ready to get a new dog of my own, I have lots of love to give and would happily spend time with your furry best friend and treat it with care and attention as if it were my own. With my prior experience having a high energy and high maintenance dog, I have developed a lot of patience and know what it takes to care for any dog now, whether it is big or small, relaxed or energetic. If there are particular ways you care for your dog (such as training them a certain way), I will respect them and uphold them while I am watching them for you. Dog boarding: will walk frequently at the Boston commons and play with. I am very active and I love to run around and play with the dogs. We will play with any toys the dog has and I will very likely cuddle with them and give them pets on my couch as well. I keep my apartment very clean and nothing lying around that could hurt them. Dog sitting: just like dog boarding, I will give your dog plenty of attention and walk them. I will leave your home just the way as it was when you left and make sure that any mess that could potentially be made by myself or your pet will be cleaned up. Dog walking: know how to walk dogs well by my side but also gently to not hurt them. Very vigilant and will not let them get into things they shouldn’t or onto the road.

I've known Alex for several years, and I have yet to see a dog that does not gravitate toward him. My family has three dogs (mastiff, lab-poodle mix, and terrier-poodle mix), and whenever Alex has visited, the dogs are ecstatic to see him. This speaks volumes especially when considering that the mastiff is generally very aloof and on guard around any male figures that were not a consistent presence while he was a puppy. Instead Mowgli (mastiff) loves to play with Alex and be around him (as do the other dogs). I assume this is due to his calm demeanor and experience with raising, caring for, and interacting with dogs, as he has always grown up with them. Alex is very responsible, caring, and attentive when it comes to dogs and their needs. Honestly, he will probably just end up cuddling and watching Netflix with any dog he watches.

I would not only trust Alex with my fur babies, but also my human babies! I am very picky when it comes to choosing friends and he is one of my dearest. He is trustworthy and kind-hearted and I have seen him interact with his own dog and other people's dogs like a pro. I have no doubts that Alex will keep your pups safe and cared for. They will be in good paws :)

Alex has been super reliable with my pup Sasha! He's really good at following my instructions: walking/eating habits for Sasha. He loves spending time with dogs, and would definitely take care of them all day. He's always punctual when coming to pick up the dog. My pup is always jumping with excitement to see Alex. He is caring, friendly and respectful. I would recommend Alex in a heartbeat :)
