Pet care experience

Communicative and reliable! 🦮

Currently working from home full time! I own a 4 year old shihtzu terrier named Cooper. He’s a super friendly little guy who gets a long with basically any dog. On my free time I enjoy taking my dog to dog parks and interacting with other dog owners. I have experience handling all types of dogs and sizes. Seeing a dog's tail wag super fast is one of my joys! Aside from working and loving dogs, I do enjoy being a foodie and eating at the newest hot spots that open up. Let me know if there is anything else you need to know about me!

House Sitting • may. 24, 2026

Alex was absolutely wonderful with our three animals (two dogs and a cat) and we couldn't recommend him more highly! He was attentive, communicative, and clearly a natural with pets. He went above and beyond in so many ways: he took our dogs on an extra walk after dinner, and when our senior dog got tired, he thoughtfully brought her home to rest while keeping our younger pup out to burn more energy. That kind of awareness and care for each animal's individual needs really stood out to us. He sent plenty of updates throughout the day which gave us total peace of mind, and when we got home the house was just as clean as we left it. All three animals loved him, which says everything. We'll definitely be booking Alex again!

Awesome sitter. Got acquainted and played with our shy cat and was able to make sure she was fed and taken care of. We had regular communication over chat and videos from Rover during visits

Alex was great with our Benji!!! Communicative and Reliable just like he says in his bio. I would absolutely re book with him again in the future. He sent us updates and pics of our boy, and helped us feel at ease with leaving Benji with someone new.

Alex did a fantastic job caring for our pets. He provided tons of video and pictures for us while we were out of town. He confirmed instructions and visit times so everyone was properly taken care of. One of our pups requires medicine morning and night, Alex was very responsible and made sure she received her doses. We will definitely be asking Alex to help us in the future.

Alex is solid. He had his hands full for 5 days with our two fur babies, a chow and a pit, and he delivered. No easy task considering how hard our pit pulls on walks. Great communication and no worries. I strongly recommend Alex and would definitely hire again. Thanks Alex!
