I'll treat your baby just like mine

Pet care experience

I have had animals in my home since around age 6, from dogs and cats to rodents and chickens. I have experience in raising and preparing foster mastiffs for adoption, including those with specific medical issues and needs. I also have experience in leash training as well as affirmative behavioral training. I have been a volunteer at local animal shelters for 4 years. I also have worked alongside dog groomers, and am experienced in bathing and nail dremeling. I do work a day job in a school on weekdays, normally from 7am until 2pm, and am not available for drop ins or walks until after 2:15pm. I'm excited to be working with you and your animals and giving them a treat while their people are away.

Alexander was AMAZING!!! This was the first time our precious Kehlani was home for so long. Alexander took so many pictures and communicated with me in detail every single time she was with our Kehlani!! She definitely has a way with dogs and coming home after a long trip seeing how happy Kehlani was -was just a wonderful feeling ! Definitely recommend her AND rest assure your loved one will be in good hands!!

Alex is the best!! Alex made sure to care for my sweet cats the way I would! Alex noticed the little things and was very responsive to my messages and made sure to tell me everything that was happening at the house. An amazing sitter!

Alexander is absolutely amazing! Alex has been so flexible with my crazy schedule and is extremely prompt in responding to my messages. My puppy is very demanding and Alex always makes sure to entertain him with a wide variety of play, training, and exercise! I always feel relieved and assured that when Alex is watching my puppy, he will be in great hands.

I feel conflicted leaving a lower star review cus Alex did a really good job biking with my dog when they were able to, but scheduling and communication was an issue. I was gone all summer working off the grid in Alaska and I didn’t have reliable WiFi to communicate. Alex was supposed to bring my dog on three bike rides a week, but it ended up being right under half of that for the whole summer due to car and other life troubles on Alex’s end, which is just how life goes sometimes. Alex did always communicate immediately when I messaged them and sent me information and pictures of the runs, which really cheered me up from so far away. I think this was a specific situation with how long the reservation was and the frequency of the runs I expected, especially given summer rain and extreme heat. Alex refunded me the amount from the runs they didn’t do and always responded promptly. I’d have Alex run Ollie again, just under more manageable circumstances!

I would like to know the level of training the dog has received, feeding schedule and amounts, their normal schedule, including walks, quiet time and any other crucial information such as separation anxiety or handicaps that I may have to account for.

A typical day

I love going for runs and going to the dog park. Most places I go are dog-friendly, and I'm always happy to include the pup in what I am doing.
