Pet care experience

. I’ve had a dog in my home every year of my life and truly love caring for dogs of all breeds and personalities. I treat every dog as if they were my own and focus on providing a calm, safe, and reliable experience so you can feel completely at ease while you’re away. I work with a flexible schedule, which allows me to give dogs consistent attention throughout the day—early morning walks, midday park visits or check-ins, and longer walks or relaxed playtime in the evening. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and energy levels and always follow each dog’s routine closely. I prioritize safety, structure, and communication, and I’m happy to send regular photo updates so you know how your dog is doing. I’m also glad to do a meet-and-greet beforehand to make sure it’s a great fit for everyone.

Bowie was so happy staying with Alex. It was such a relief knowing he was in good hands.

Honored to be Alexander’s first Rover review. He was incredibly responsive and happy to do a meet and greet with us and Boone beforehand. Sent great update photos and did some awesome adventures with Boone around Encinitas. Would use again and again! Thanks!

I can’t recommend Alex highly enough as a dog sitter. He’s the greatest dog dad to his own rescue pup, Bowie. He is patient, attentive, and deeply committed to making sure his dog feels safe, loved, and constantly happy. That same level of care extends to every dog he watches. He notices the little things, sticks to routines, and treats each dog like family. I’ve seen firsthand how happy dogs are in his care, and I would trust him without hesitation. If you’re looking for someone reliable, experienced, and genuinely loving, your dog couldn’t be in better hands.
