About Alex

Hello all!

I have been an avid animal lover ever since I can remember. I have been raised around all types of animals, from snakes & lizards to dogs & cats. Turtles, fish, rabbits, and frogs are some other animals I have experience with taking care of & owning. I also have extensive experience in house & pet sitting for large and small animals. Large dogs, bully breeds, and other large breeds are also dogs I have had much experience around. 

We have two cats (Iris and Dora) and a dog (Leo) with my girlfriend Jully. We love to take our fur babies out on different adventures. 

We aren't looking for any other animals at our home, but I would love to come and meet yours!

Some of my recent experiences are with my rescue dog, Leo. He is from Bulgaria and spent a few years on the streets. He has gone through a fantastic transformation from where he started. At first, we worked with a trainer who told us that there were some things that we would never be able to help him change; well, Leo proved him wrong. Through many months of constant training, many treats, and a lot of patience, he has changed from a dog who didn't trust any visitors to one who now has many people he loves to see, and they love to see him. In addition to this, he loves his two kitty sisters and has taken to them amazingly, and now they are the best of friends. I hope this helps you understand my experiences better, what I have been learning more recently, and what I can, more importantly, help you with. 

Any amount of training & routine you already have in place will be able to be followed to the fullest.
I can also administer medications and follow any strict food allergies. I am usually most available in the afternoon and evening times. Regarding time for walks, I am available for longer and shorter walks, playtime at the local parks, and whatever else to make your animals happy. In addition to animals, I also love plants and will happily take care of them if needed. Although I cannot stay over, if I am house-sitting, I will still spend time with the animals to ensure they aren't lonely all day. Any other details/specifics can be discussed to ensure your animals have everything they need. 

I look forward to hearing from you, and I hope I can help make sure your animals have everything they need while you're away!

-Alex, Leo, Iris & Dora

We can always count on Alex for superb service! Such a relief when we go away, to know our cat is always in great hands and properly taken care of :)

Will continue to recommend him to anyone!

Second time booked with Alex and again he and Jully did not dissappoint! Our furbaby was happy and healthy when we arrived home.

During our 10 day holiday we received loads of photos and daily messages on how he is doing.

We could enjoy our holiday knowing he is receiving all the love and attention needed. :)

Thank you so much Alex and Jully!

Specific Skills

I speak English
+20 years of experience
Familiar with dog training techniques
I've grown up with animals, from dogs (Xl-Xs) to axolotls (type of aphibious lizards). I have successfully rehabilitated animals (rabbits, squirrels, raccoons, etc.) and rescued and rehomed animals in need my entire life. I have experience working on horse farms/rehabilitation centers and with livestock as well. At my local SPCA, I regularly volunteered to help in any way I could. I can deal with different types of medication and medical needs, from lotions to injections. Larger dogs, bully breeds, and reactive dogs are also something I have plenty of experience with and am comfortable handling, as my dog is also on the reactive side. I also have three lovely rescued fur babies of my own. Ever since I can remember, I have been surrounded by animals, and I can guarantee that I can go above and beyond and beyond your pet's needs!
