Safety, trust & environment

I am able to come to your home to take care of your dog according to your wishes and instructions. I am happy to not only feed or walk your dog but also play with them and take them to the dog park. I would respect your home and belongings and limit my use of your space to only those places you’re comfortable with. I am very clean and I make sure to leave your home clean.

Information Alexander S. would like to know about your pet

If your dog has any special needs, I’m happy to work with them as long as I have instructions on how to care for them.

A typical day

Dogs need plenty of activity to keep them healthy. I’m happy to take them for a walk (with plenty of time to sniff!), play with them, take them to the dog park, or any other activity they like to do.

Dedicated to caring for animals

Pet care experience

I’ve been around and taken care of dogs for my whole life. Not only have I had four of my own dogs over the course of my life, I’ve also been trusted to care for the dogs and cats of friends and neighbors. I have even worked in a dog daycare in the past. I believe that our pets are special animals that deserve to be loved and cared for in the same way they love and care for us.

Alexander has been incredible to work with, start to finish. He is very detail oriented and even brings a notebook so he can start a “file” on your pet. This alleviated a lot of my stress working with a new petsitter, knowing he was taking it very seriously and wouldn’t just be relying on memory. He was great with all of our dogs and their quirks, and I highly recommend.

Alex was a great overnight dog sitter. Communication was great. He took great care of our Marvin. We came home to a happy dog and a clean home. We highly recommend.

Alex does such a great job with our two dogs. He has so much patience and understanding with our very old dog. The house is always clean when we come home, and the dogs always seem like they’ve had a great time!

Alex was a great caregiver for our pup. She seemed very well cared for after a week away. We appreciated the periodic photo and text updates. Will book again!
