I love dogs, and fresh air.
Pet care experience
I have taken care of dogs even before I had a furry friend of my own. When I was only 11 years old, I took care of a Cockapoo for several weekends. I think that may have encouraged my parents to finally get a dog in high school. I've had a beautiful golden retriever boy since my first year in high school. We got him as a puppy so I also have experience with high maintenance cuties. But ever since we've had him, I have always loved taking him out for walks and runs. I'm quite fit and athletic so if you need your to go on a longer walk or run, I'm all ears. I'm also a really good tick spotter and am willing to get my hands dirty (dog poop, pea and barf) when the duty calls.
Reviews
Alex has over the past many years come to support us during his holidays, doing choirs around the house. He was always on time, hard working and never afraid to go the extra mile. On top he is a quick learner and has a very positive mindset, helpful and easy to be around and our dog loved him. Susanne Ritter
Alex is a very caring person. I went on walks with him and his dog and know first-hand how good he is with dogs. I would let him take care of my own dog for sure! Alex has a very warm personality and will be a win not only for the dog but also for the dog parents!
Alexander has a very caring personality and loves dogs! He takes his time to play with them as well as makes sure to keep them disciplined. He is a patient man and is willing to learn. I have first hand experience on how he treats his dog and it is safe to say that he has had great experience with dogs and shows great care and affection towards them.
Alex and I used to walk his golden retriever every time I was over at his house in Germany. These walks were not just a trot around the block however, we would be gone for 30-60 minutes, wandering through the forest trails, running alongside Rocky (his dog) and making sure he had all the exercise he needed. You think your dog has a lot of energy? Trust me, Alex has just as much if not more, and he will take your dog on the best walks/runs ever. To Alex, walking a dog is not a chore, it's an adventure with the best companion man can ask for, and from my experience with him, he will love your dog like they're a human being going for a run with him, he will intentionally pick up poop, and will reward your dog when they merit a reward. One time, Alex's Golden Retriever ran off without its leash, and Alex searched the forest and trails for nearly 2 hours, until he found him harassing an old farmer on his tractor. All this to say that Alex has heart for people and a heart for dogs, and he is committed to serving those around him with passion and care.

I make sure water is always available for the dog. The fence is closed. They are fed atleast once a day or more (depending on their individual diet) and I make sure they can go outside several times throughout the day so they can relieve themselves.

I'm currently a college student studying online, at home, from a computer so whenever I can get an excuse to get fresh air I'm very happy to do so as I make any excuse I can to go outside. Even without dogs I make it a goal to go on a walk once a day. I can walk multiple times throughout the day and since all my classes are currently online my work schedule is quite flexible and spontaneous.
