Availability
I was in corporate America wearing my daily business suit to meetings and creating financial portfolios for almost a decade but wanted a change of lift style so am working part time as well as offering pet services. As a result I have flexible availability most days morning and afternoons. If there are any overnight needs by you I can easily accommodate that as I will leave my fur-baby Kira with grandma/grandpa (my parents) so I can give your pets my undivided attention

About Alexandro G.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I trained my 8 year old German Shepherd/Labrador mix on my own using methods I learned from nationally recognized zoo/aquarium directors and am a huge advocate of positive reinforcement. I can give treats as you the parent advise or none if you prefer. Trust between animal and caregiver is important to me and will work hard to foster that relationship with your pet so you can carry out your day knowing your pets are in good loving hands.
Information Alexandro G. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pets require any special attention, needs, or medications. Would also appreciate knowing ahead of time what quirks they may have or if they get extra worked up by anything in particular.
A typical day
Playing with their toys, give lots of petting sessions, and socialize with them while I’m there. Show them lots of love to ease their anxiety.

Dog Lover in a Business Suit
Pet care experience
Hello all! I am a deep animal lover who originally attended university for veterinary medicine, worked at a dog groomer shop as a dog walker/socializer during college, and later volunteered at animal organizations such as Animal Care & Control, no kill animal shelters, and even with larger animals such as Marine Mammals and large Birds of prey at zoos/aquariums. Now I have my 7 year old German Shepherd/Labrador mix named Kira that I have trained myself. Kira is a sweetheart who loves people and especially small dogs but has a soft spot for the elderly and children but out of respect for you she won’t be joining any of my pet servicing activities.
Reviews
Alex is an awesome pet sitter! We have a 130 lb Akita and Freddy just loves him! Alex is always on time, spends time playing with Freddy, takes the time to find music or shows to watch ( without animals in them), he makes sure Freddy gets his medicine on time, we are extremely happy. We know we don't need to worry about Freddy when Alex is watching him! Thank you Alex!!??
He kindly accepted a short notice request that we faced due to a cancellation. We were relieved that we Alex managed to come to our apartment in advance that we could introduce our dogs and explain general things we do for them daily basis. Lastly, he updated photos everyday and delivered comments of the situations for the majority days. In summary, we were pleased to met him because he was so kind and passionate to take care of dogs.
Very communicative & helpful. Took care of my pup like it was his own. Already re-booked!
Alex was quick to respond to all inquiries, sent updates and pics of my Kashmir. She is pretty timid of men in general but quickly warmed up to Alex. He took extra care as she is recovering from her double ACL surgery and was on restrictions. A+++
