Safety, trust & environment

Not only do I prioritize engagement and enrichment, but safety above all! I’m always on the lookout for chewing hazards for puppies, and general physical health for older dogs and cats. I’m mindful of every pet’s unique style and needs. Since I won’t be hosting at my own home, the routine is truly up to you! I’m no stranger to long hikes, frenetic backyard play, or simply lounging with a mellow beast.

Information Alexander W. would like to know about your pet

The more info, the better! I like to know their usual routine, habits, preferences and personality. Knowing about any dislikes and/or behavior to discourage is also helpful. Of course, please let me know about anything dietary or medical. The more I know, the better care I can provide!

A typical day

I’m here to keep your dog(s) happy and busy! We’ll walk, run, sniff stuff, do some cuddlin’ and play in a way that’s both mentally and physically engaging. If you’re a cat parent, I’m a cat uncle! I always enjoy spending time with a feline friend. Whether kitty prefers to chase a toy nonstop, or just watch TV and clean their paws, I’m game! Whatever you and your pet prefer, I’m here to help.

Experienced, engaging animal lover!

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Xander! I have over 9 years of pet care experience, ranging from group play to extended one-on-one pet sitting, and even grooming. I prioritize meeting every pet’s unique needs with an understanding of animal behavior I’ve refined over the years. I also love to let loose and play! If your pet is more of an introvert, that’s great too! Every animal is unique, and I always make extra effort to get to know them. Keeping pets engaged and comfortable is what I do.

Alex shared an immense amount of care for Copper every week. Was great when I had to ask him to come late or come back early. Did a good job keeping Copper dry when there were lots of puddles outside. Helped work on walking discipline too.

Xander is the best! We’ve already booked him for two more stays. We returned to an immaculate house and a very happy dog:). Our pup is a bit timid and nervous around new people and Xander put her entirely at ease.
