I love taking my dogs for a walk or just sitting and talking with them. Routine training and walking has helped me be successful when I have owned/trained my dogs. Calm, consistent leadership is so important in the dynamic of my animals and I.

About Alexander G.

Safety, trust & environment

Both of my dogs are crate trained, walked twice daily to keep their minds stimulated, and PLAYTIME! Lots of playtime throughout the day. I cannot be with my dogs all day so I do need to wear them out sometimes when I know I will be gone for more than 4 hours. On top of general maintenance for the animals, high quality food and bone/joint supplements are provided as well as healthy treats. We try to only bathe when needed but that's usually once a month. Both of my dogs are linked with a vet as well in case of emergency and they are up to date on all their shots and medications to keep them healthy and disease free.

Information Alexander G. would like to know about your pet

Important things to know: Health concerns Medications Irritators and stressors for the animal How does your furry family member do on a leash? What are your preferences for treats :) How is your dog with other dogs/animals? And of course anything else you think I should know!

A typical day

Dogs can expect to go on walks, play fetch or do scent work in the yard, or just hang out with their temporary human until their parents come home :)

Reliable Care with a Personal Touch

Pet care experience

I treat all animals as if they are my own ( even the wild ones :') ). I provide my own pets with consistent, routine driven training that keeps them stimulated while also building the bond between us. Whether a cat, dog, or other furry friends, you can count on me to show them the love and care that they deserve.

I can’t say enough good things about Alex. He is incredibly reliable and always quick to reply. But most importantly he’s a massive softy with animals. He treats them with so much care and patience. I trust him completely to watch my pets.

Alex is the best animal person that I know. He is very caring and patient with my dog and I totally trust him to take care of him responsibly. He loves to go for walks and play fetch endlessly. When I was out of town, Alex would keep me up to date on his activities and even sent pictures which put me at ease. He’s also very good with cats as he’s been a cat dad. I know anyone would be happy with Alex’s services.

Alex is so caring towards my pets and treats them as his own. He easily gives my cat her meds twice a day, and keeps up with my high-energy corgi. Alex is always on time and communicates throughout the entire job with pictures and updates on my pets. I can trust him and be at ease that my pets are in good hands when he’s watching them. Definitely recommend him to anyone!!
