Your furry family deserves the best

Pet care experience

My name is Alex, and I absolutely love dogs (and cats!). I have grown up with pets of my own, and have a beautiful Goldendoodle named Penny. Since moving to SLO, I worked at a local pet resort for the last year and a half, starting as a entry level employee, and working my way to manager - overseeing the safety of more than 150 dogs at times! In that time, I learned from and loved all the dogs we cared for, and it really prepared me for taking care of your dog! I love both big and small dogs, and I am very good with reading dog body language. I am very comfortable administering oral medications, and well versed in dealing with situations, should something unexpected arise. I also can do basic training, and love taking pets for walks, hikes, and doing other fun activities. I have great availability, and take dog safety and care very seriously. From the most social butterflies to more reserved dogs, from young puppies to seniors, I will do my best to keep them happy, healthy, and loved while you're away!

Alex is not only a experienced dog caretaker but also a very caring, responsible, and kind person! He has a lot of experience taking care of all different types of dogs and is very knowledgeable and well trained in dog behavior. I would highly recommend his services!

Hi all, I had the privilege and honor of working alongside Alex at a pet resort and daycare in San Luis Obispo, Ca. We worked together caring for dogs before he was promoted to become my supervisor. He was always responsible and alert to each dog's needs in the play yards and in their rooms with their food, water, and medication. I enjoyed working with him because he proved himself trustworthy and that he truly cared about each dog's safety.

I worked with alex at thousand hills pet resort when he was a shift lead and when he got promoted to assistant manager. Alex has a great sense of responsibility and he loves working and being around dogs so much. He has such an inviting personality to both our 4 legged friends and our fellow 2 legged companions. I would highly recommend anyone to let him watch your dog, he will treat it as if it is his own!

Alex is one of the most compassionate individuals I have every met and it really shows in his care for animals! My dog Ripley, a shy Labradoodle, isn't a huge fan of most people but Alex was able to earn her trust through patience and treats and now he's able to get her to follow his lead- it's like he can figure out what they're thinking! I would highly recommend him for any pet but especially if you're worried about how your dog might react to being boarded or with other dogs at a pet resort.
