Safety, trust & environment

I am very respectful of the spaces of others, and aim to leave no trace other than my care for your pets. I am training to be a therapist/counselor, so I very much understand how fundamental mutual trust, boundaries, and communication are in a healthy working relationship and take that extremely seriously regardless of what service I am providing.

Information Alexander R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know any specifics about your pet’s needs, health issues, preferences, quirks, or any other information that will better help me work with them.

A typical day

I would say above all else I love to connect with dogs and cats through lots of pets and giving them my full attention. I also love to play and active with higher energy pets, or just sit apart in the same room. I think it is important to meet pets where they are and match their energy. That being said, at home me and kitty spend a lot of time cuddling.

Pet care experience

I have experience with cats and dogs of all ages, shapes, sizes, and personality. I have trained puppies before (and even my cat can do tricks) as well have helped care for elderly pets who need extra attention. I am very skilled at reading animal body language and finding the right way to connect with each unique furry friend.
