Your dog is in good hands

Pet care experience

Dog walking isn't just a hobby or a side-hustle for me. It's a full-time job that, as an animal lover, I am passionate about and take very seriously. I've been dog-walking and sitting full-time since early 2017, but I've worked with dogs for much longer than that. In the 5 years prior to joining the Rover team, I spent nearly every weekend volunteering my time at a local animal shelter (Anderson Animal Shelter in South Elgin, IL), where I got to care for dogs who lacked homes and engage them in physical activity. It was very rewarding work and it was one of the things that led me to become a Rover pet-care provider. I have experience working with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels so I don't discriminate. If your dog is full of energy, I will make sure he/she gets plenty of exercise. If your dog has special needs, those can be accommodated as well. So if you need someone to walk or look after your furry friend, feel free to contact me and I will respond within minutes.

Alex is such a fantastic sitter for us! We always use him when we go out of town and our pups are wonderfully cared for! He communicates well about what is going on and how our 3 dogs are doing, he is always on time and frequently goes above and beyond to make sure our fur family is comfortable and happy!

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog's safety is always my priority. I will always keep your dog(s) leashed on walks, unless you specifically tell me off-leash walks are ok. I carry pepper spray with me to protect your dog and myself from potential attacks by other dogs/coyotes/etc.

Information Alexander M. would like to know about your pet

I have a questionnaire that I provide to every client at meet-and-greets which clients can use to provide me with any information they feel I should have, such as feeding schedules, their veterinarian's phone number, their dog's medical conditions (if any), any special needs their dogs may have, etc., in order to provide the best care I possibly can. I have no breed preferences. I care for dogs of all shapes and sizes.

A typical day

I will cater to your pet's needs. If your dog requires a longer walk or a run, I can provide that without a problem. I am in good physical shape and can run with your dogs if that's what they want. As far as weather goes, I'll walk your dog rain, snow or shine if they're up for it. If they can't handle bad weather, I can engage them in some exercise indoors. I offer Dog Walking and Drop-In Visits. Here's a brief explanation of both of them: Dog Walking consists of a 30-minute walk, which costs $20. I don't charge extra for additional dogs. If your dog requires a longer walk, I can provide that for an additional fee. 45-minute walks are $25 and 60-minute walks are $30. I don't provide walks longer than 60 minutes. Drop-In visits, also $20, are 30-minute visits to your home, and they can entail a variety of activities, including a short walk, outdoor or indoor play, feeding, etc. As with Dog Walking, I don't charge extra for additional dogs and longer visits can be provided for the same additional fees (i.e. $25 for a 45-minute visit and $30 for a 60-minute visit). If you have any questions concerning my services, please feel free to ask.
