Long time pet owner.

Pet care experience

I have taken care of animals basically since the day I was able to walk, I've owned many dogs, and even more cats, there's never been a time in my life where I haven't been around animals or taking care of them in some way shape or form. I'm great with dogs and cats and have tons of experience in dealing with almost any situation. The dog here at home is well trained and used to cats, the cats are all spayed and neutered and enjoy indoor and outdoor. We can safely and happily take care of any animal as long as it's socialized.

Safety, trust & environment

We have a family of cats (7) and one dog, the cats all live inside and outside, but are mostly in our outdoor garage, they won't be interacting with your pet. Whenever we let your pet outside we will be sure to maintain supervision and a leash if you want us to, please make sure that your animal is socialized to being around cats and dogs. If you're having me take care of your pets in your own home, please make sure all necessities are provided. I am very well trained on how to handle any cat, and any dog given day or not adverse to the idea of strangers. When in our own home the animal will mostly be inside unless stated otherwise, and our pet dog Selva has been socialized and trained to be around other cats and dogs.

Information Alexander M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, or specific requirements, suffers from any medical issues, or has not been trained and or socialized to be around cats or dogs. If the dog isn't okay with being around cats, I won't be able to let it in the backyard and instead we'll take it to the front yard, in this case please have a leash for the dog so that I can take it on a walk and play with it in the front yard. Our dog Selva will be around at all times, so your dog must be okay with other dogs if I am to take care of it in our house, Selva is a great, well-trained, playful, and attentive dog. As long as your dog is okay with other dogs there won't be any issues with Selva. Please give any other information needed ahead of time so there are no issues. Thank you.

A typical day

I always make sure the dog is well fed, and has access to water. I hang around in the living room where it's the coolest, if the dog prefers to be outside I leave the door flap open to give it access, once the dog heads outside we have a number of toys and balls out there that it can play with, and are our lawn is secured. The cats are out there too but they mostly keep to themselves. Once the dog is tired of playing I bring it back inside and make sure to hang around with it until it falls asleep and feels tended to. It's fairly basic, but from what I've experienced most dogs just want attention and company. So I give them that company and attention until they're too tired to stay awake. After that point I'll make sure to keep checking in on the dog every 20 minutes or so to make sure that it's okay, not hungry or thirsty, and doesn't need to use the restroom or want to play.
