We had another amazing experience with Alexander! He took great care of our dog Oakley for a week while we were out of town. We received lots of photos and updates of all the playtime and cute cuddles! Thanks again, Alexander!

Alex is great with Miles, we feel at ease while we are away knowing he’s being well cared for.

Alex was so wonderful with my pup! Could not be more grateful to have found him. Frankie is reactive with other dogs and tends to be timid with new people, but she warmed up to him immediately. He has a great understanding of dog behavior and body language, which made me feel so much more comfortable leaving my sensitive pup with someone new. He sent tons of updates, and Frankie got lots of backyard time, enrichment, and walks - it truly felt like she got a vacation too!!

Alexander did an amazing job taking care of our 10 y/o Old English Sheepdog, Oakley, and we would highly recommend him! It was clear even from our initial meet & greet that he had a lot of experience caring for animals, and a genuine love for them. During Oakley’s stay with him, we received regular updates (including photos and videos) of all the cute, sweet, fun things they were doing together! Mealtimes, playtimes, cuddle times, adventure times! It was really reassuring to know Oakley was being cared for so well in our absence, and we’d love to have her stay with Alexander again in the future.
