Alex grew up in a home that considered the pet dog a beloved part of the family. When he was born there was already a dog in the home, and throughout his childhood and teenage years there was rarely a time when there wasn't a dog in the family. Alex learned early on how to care for and play with a dog, and he lovingly and patiently took part in the dog's training. He's a kind and gentle animal lover by nature and would be an excellent pet sitter and dog walker.
