Safety, trust & environment

After ensuring your pet trusts me and is comfortable with me around, I provide the best care I can to a pet whose owner is not home by simply their temporary companion to have until their owners come home. Going on walks & runs, visits to the dog park, tug-o-war, or just lounging around as I work or read a book. My dog’s favorite was laying in the sun poolside and drying off with me after a long day of swimming! And updating owners with fun pics of their dogs as often as I can — I know I this put me at ease when someone was taking care of Frisco. I find caring for other’s dogs like I do my own makes everyone feel safe & happy.

Information Alex T. would like to know about your pet

I have no preference if breeds or temperaments. I can able to care for all dogs of all energies. Of course, if your pet needs a specialized attention or care, I will be sure to give follow your instructions meticulously. I am a fairly tall 6’3 male , so if you dog is shy or has a fear of large humans or males, that is something we certainly can discuss and see whether trust can be formed if there is a first meet. I have met a foster dog with a very sad history with dog owners where this happened, but she warmed up to me quickly!

A typical day

Go on short or long walks and runs, practice already learned tricks or try new ones! Fetch, toys, lounging , practice some amateur pet photography

Pet care experience

From foster dogs to my family’s 18 year old American Eskimo, I have taken care of dogs at every stage of their life. A Shih Tzu, a Pits, a Bulldog, a Great Pyrenees , an Irish Wolfhound, no matter the dog, I’ve developed a strong bond with every dog I’ve met. I began taking care of dogs since I was 7 years old , and sitting at neighbors homes since I was 16 years old. I learned at an early age to care for elderly dogs and dogs with conditions that require special care and treatment— whether that is ensuring they receive medications or aiding and preventing any mobility mishaps- I am extremely vigilant when it comes to a dog’s state of wellbeing. I’d like to think that high energy dogs have a special place in my heart as I grew up taking my own dog on early morning and late evening runs. So if that is the case with your dog that will not be a problem!

Alex was excellent with our golden while we were out of town! He still has a lot of energy, so Alex wore him out on long, active walks. We will definitely use Alex again!

Alex is the best!!!! A truly reliable pet watcher. I have an elderly furbaby that has gone through intensive surgeries, and Alex has provided his services while in recovery. Alex has always been on time, gone beyond expectations, and has been a wonderful help!!!! ◡̈ I would recommend Alex to all friends and those who are looking for a pet sitter.

Alex is highly recommended when we leave out of town. He takes care and loves on our dogs. When our dogs see him, they are super excited because they know they are going to have fun! Alex is a great option for you and your pets!
