Safety, trust & environment

I am currently not hosting clients dogs at my home as my own dogs (rescues) take some time to warm up to new dogs on our (their) property. This experience has made me sensitive to dogs who are reactive or vulnerable. One size does not fit all for animals and I enjoy taking the time to give them what they need.

Information Alexander L. would like to know about your pet

I understand that animals are as varied as people and that many will have specific needs - please share with me anything you think your dog needs (or needs to avoid) on our walk. I am also more than happy to send a photo or two and report anything of note for each walk.

A typical day

With my own dogs a day can vary from an hour long walk where they sniff everything and we barely cover any ground to full-day hikes, trail runs, or swims (with life-vests) in the lake. For most dogs a walk is their favorite time of the day so it's really about what they want/like to do! I am happy to walk, throw balls, play, or practice simple training during my time with them.

Pet care experience

My best -friend for the first 8 years of my life was a dog - little has changed in the intervening 40 some-odd years. I have lived with and raised dogs my entire life - everything from small Chihuahua mixes to a medium Springer Spaniel and a large lab mix (and a few others). Currently I walk walk my own dogs 1-2 hours a day 365 days a year on the trails around my wife and I's mountain home.

I have known Alexander for many years and I have seen him interact with a large variety of people. He is consistently courteous, attentive, and kind. He has cared for my dog and cats and always shows the utmost love and attention. Making their safety the highest priority. Animals and people flock to him.
