Passionate Dog Lover :)

Pet care experience

Looking for someone to take great care of your dog(s) while you are away? Someone that has a very strong love and care for dogs and animals? Someone that has a very strong communication that will keep you up-to-date with what’s going on via email, call, text etc.? Well that’s where I come in! My name is Alexander. As a dog lover, I always enjoy receiving the unconditional love that dogs automatically ignites! It’s what makes us drawn to them for those who see it! I currently have a mix English & American Cocker Spaniel dog named Bobbby. He’s 8 years old and enjoys the company of other dogs! There is also a local park that I often go to as well. *As an extra bonus if you do decide to have me take care of your dog(s)I can send you 1 professional shots of your dog(s) as a courtesy for allowing me to spend some time with your dog! :) Why I love dog sitting I would say that I have been a dog lover since I was 13 years old. My mom always took care of a small poodle whom owner's would fly out to Brazil occasionally. From there, I started to grow a strong connection with Bigo (small poodle) and grew up with the responsibility of taking care of dog's. About my yard I do have a backyard that's not fenced. I usually go to a dog park that's 3 minutes away, walking distance. My experience administering medication Yes. I often follow the description and set an alarm if there is any that needs to be taken in between hours in a day.

Alex took great care of Bey and she was a happy pup when I returned! He and his fiancé gave her lots of snuggles and attention! He was also flexible about pick up and drop off which I appreciate!

Alexander is excellent. He was flexible with drop-off and pick-up. He sent me a lot of photos of Dexter during his stay. Dexter got a lot of walk and play and he was having fun with Bobby. Overall, Dexter was very happy. Alexander is one of the top Rovers I've used so far. I would highly recommend him and look forward to next boarding.

Alex was so great! He kept in touch frequently (sending amazing pictures daily) and was very flexible accommodating my schedule. Definitely recommended!

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks I will walk your dog in my local neighborhood and also take them to the local dog park located nearby. Your dog's sleeping arrangement The dog will either be cuddled up with me, if not, the dog will have the option to sleep in his/her bed in my bedroom. Time I'll spend with your dog About 45minutes in between several hours. Example: I could spend 2 hour working on making phone calls and take a short break and spend 35-45minutes with the dog. This can happen repeatedly in a day.
