Highlights
Pet care experience
I will love your dog!
I grew up with dogs in my family, and have fostered here in New York. I also fostered when I lived in LA before moving here. I often jump in for neighbors when they need someone to check in on their pup. The only thing keeping me from getting a dog of my own is my occasional work travel, so let me love and take care of your dog when you need some extra help!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Alexander was great with my dog! Milo is a curious boy who needs help with this leash reactivity and his needs were met! He seemed very happy when he came home. Would use again
Alex is the best. Over several years he has looked after our Rhodesian Ridgeback, including recovering from a recent amputation surgery. Above all else he is full of love for dogs, but is extremely dependable as well. Wholeheartedly recommend.
My lab, Hayes, is absolutely obsessed with Alexander. He was punctual, easy to communicate with, and treated our baby as if he were his own. We will definitely book Alexander again!
Alexander has watched my westie a few times, he was attentive to her, responsible with her schedule and punctual. You can tell he genuinely loves animals, especially dogs! I would recommend Alexander to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog sitter!
I've known Alexander for over 20 years, and he is one of the most loving, responsible dog people I know. It's Alex's influence that led me to adopt both my dogs 15 years ago, and it was the best decision I've ever made. He is patient, committed, disciplined, and nurturing. I can think of no finer candidate for being a dog dad. He's the absolute best.
Alex loves dogs more than anybody I know, and he frequently takes care of neighbors' dogs. He is reliable and responsible, and anyone would be lucky to have them look after their pet.

Schedule
I’m a writer, so I easily work from home. Most days I am up by 7:30 and I make my own schedule. Going on walks helps me think, so I will be delighted to take your pup on as many walks as they need.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a crate that fits up to 40 pound dogs, and is adjustable for smaller dogs, if that is something you’d like me to do for your pup. Otherwise, they can lounge on the couch with me unless you do not want them to be on furniture. I am in an extremely dog friendly building in Chelsea, with easy access to dog runs, and Chelsea Park.
A typical day
If you are trying to work on any skills or tricks with your dog, I love to integrate some mental stimulation into the day, so please let me know.
