Alex K. Pet Care Provider in Duarte, CA 91010

I've been a dog lover my entire life, ever since before I can even remember! I always grew up with dogs of all kinds, and as soon as I was old enough to work professionally with them I began volunteering at vet clinics and animals shelters. Since then I've managed dog daycares, fostered dogs, served as a professional trainer, and am pet CPR/first aid certified! If you have other pets, I can care for those too. Having owned a variety of them myself, as well as worked at a zoo and an aquarium, I'm pretty well prepared for any animal care needs! Currently I work with Karma Dog Training as a behavior specialist, trainer, and petsitter.

I can only offer sitting at the client's home only as I have two senior dogs and roommates with a child at my house. But in the client's home I'll follow whatever care needs the client requests!

I usually work 2-3 days a week (days vary) at a kids’ museum in Pasadena, Sundays I’m in Glendale for just a few hours in late afternoon teaching dog training classes, and I typically have 1 or 2 private dog training clients a week. Those typically have me away for only about two hours a session. Otherwise I’m at your house with your pets. That being said, if you need regular weekly visits at the same time every week, I’m not going to be able to accommodate that service. If you’re flexible with your days/times for walks or drop-in visits though I’d be happy to make it work!

At your home I follow all rules you as the pet parent give to me. That can include standing outside with them while they do their business, making sure they don’t have access to certain areas of the house, not feeding anything they aren’t supposed to have, and handling them only in ways described by you. I also don’t go into areas of the home where I’m not permitted and I don’t mind homes that have security or nanny cams. I’m also more than happy to provide updates at the frequency requested.
