Lease to one day buy my own pup

I grew up with dogs and I miss the pure joy they have for this world. I can't own one with my current situation, but would love to look after yours. I'm a working professional who is kind and courteous. If you want me to know anything ask, feel free to ask! -Alex

Alex is great with my 75lb dog and a good person.

I typically don't write reviews and I've had multiple Rover sitters take care of my pup the past 2 years. Alex not only took care of my pup, but went above and beyond with hikes, runs, and adventures. Mason was dead tired after I would come back from all the fun! Alex is kind, respectful, responsible, and a A+ sitter. Couldn't recommend him enough!

Alex was fantastic. I have two rescues who are wary of strangers and they warmed up to Alex's calm and friendly persona immediately. He remained communicative during his stay (of 8 days) and treated my property respectfully. Alex also took the dogs hiking repeatedly. Most importantly, when one of my dogs kept breaking through the property fence repeatedly, Alex stayed calm, addressed the problem and never had an attitude about it. You can tell he genuinely loves dogs and I'd absolutely book him again in a heartbeat.

Schedule

I work a full time remote job, with easy morning and evening walking times. The afternoon tends to be a bit busier for me so I may not be able to take an extended break but can make sure your pup has plenty of bathroom breaks and long walks.

Safety, trust & environment

I am kind and courteous of other people's space. I offer sitting in your space or walks, because my apartment doesn't allow me to have dogs.

A typical day

I love hikes and walks on the prom or at mackworth. I'm very happy to just play a game of fetch if that what's your dog is into.

I tend to like walking and hanging out with mid sized to larger dogs. They can be good running buddies and often have a great temperament.
