Pet care experience

I was raised in a home with dogs, from mini poodles to labradors to blue heeler/dingo mixes. I’ve petsat my entire adult life for friends and colleagues, adapting to multiple dogs, cats, songbirds, and even roosters and chickens. Volunteering at a local zoo as a kid really fostered a lifelong love of animals. I also love to exercise with pups that can keep up. I am a professional acrobat currently developing new work, so my schedule is 100% flexible enough to accommodate you and your furry friends’ needs. My active lifestyle also ensures that caring for and walking multiple strong-willed dogs is a non-issue. (I’m looking at you, pitties, mastiffs, and rescues!) I am also a sitter/walker on a different platform where I have over 130 five star reviews as well. My partner is also an avid dog lover and would love to hang with some good dogs. I’m patient, flexible, and understanding of each pet’s different needs and habits.

Alex spent the Christmas week with our girl. He took wonderful care of her and spent a lot of time with her. Administered oral meds, plenty of walks. Great communication. Would hire again!

Alex has been extremely reliable and helpful. We just brought home our pup and are still figuring out what we're doing, and Alex was very flexible as we kept changing the instructions on him. Thank you Alex!!

Alex was on time for our meet n greet/walk. He listened to me talk aaalllll about Rico and did a very very good job at handling my super assertive and excited about life and squirrels pit bull. I felt at ease about Rico being in someone else’s care. Thank you Alex!

Alex did an fantastic job walking our rescue dog Lemon. As our dog is rather nervous, we needed someone to walk her who would be patient and responsive to her needs. Alex 100% delivered on that. He additionally sent us a great daily picture of her and was very responsive to any questions we sent him following their walks together. We will absolutely be using his services moving forward!
