Greetings :)
My name is Alec, and I do a lot of things, mostly here in South OC :) Many people know me as a local teacher and performer. I am also the founder of Treat Time Pet Sitters, and I enjoy house sitting and pet sitting.

I understand the need to feel safe and secure about your home and/or your furry family members, while away. I have lived with and cared for dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, bunnies, and bats (my favorite comic character might have influenced that last bit). I have a pretty flexible schedule, so I'm able to be away from home as needed, and check in on pets if necessary, during the day.
I love animals, love people, and love work that involves filling someone's need. Day to day life for me includes a variety of things, all involving people...I'm a Swing band leader (the city of Mission Viejo hosts my Speakeasy show twice/year), Ballroom and Tap dance teacher, actor, have done massage, bartender, concert producer, and I have taught children chess through a local after-school program. I have had a live scan/background check, and can provide many character references :)
I'm only looking for overnights, which may include day visits, but not looking for daily dog walk clients. For overnights, I ask $60/night. Daytime 1/2 hour pet visits/walks for up to 2 animals (within 15 minutes of north Mission Viejo) are $20. Pet visits 15-20 minutes away are $25. Pet visits 20-30 minutes away are $30. For locations over a half hour away from where I live in Mission Viejo, those rates become $70 for overnights, and $35 for additional visits/walks attached to overnights.
After the first 2 pets, each additional pet for daytime visits is $2 additional (no extra charges on overnights).
24/7 care, aside from short trips for me to run errands or walk other dogs, is $100 per 24 hour period.
I'll be happy to come meet you (and your fur babies) if you'd like an in-person interview, and I can provide references as requested (I just don't put their names and numbers on Craigslist).
Pandemic note: All of my tests have been negative, and I have consistently worn masks and social distanced since the beginning of this pandemic.
Advance notice is ideal, but do feel free to reach out last-minute, if necessary!
Thanks for reading, and let me know when I can be of service!
All the best, ~Alec 949-370-0523 (mobile)
