What My Clients Have to Say
"I have been fortunate enough to have Alex walk my greyhound Bluey for the last 5 months. As my dog is a new rescue, Alex has been there right from the beginning helping with his transition into his new life, teaching him to be comfortable with other dogs and walk well on and off lead. Alex is extremely trustworthy, reliable and always very accommodating. His sweet, gentle, kind nature makes him infectious to all dogs. Bluey adores him! I cannot recommend Alex enough. Any owner will be very lucky to have him look after their fur baby."

"I found Alex through a recommendation from a friend and he looked after Buddy & Lola (my 2 Frenchies) whilst I was overseas for a couple of weeks. Alex sent me regular updates on the fur-kids, videos and highlights of their days together at home and in the park. I know they loved their time with him because when we see him in the park now they try to go home with Alex. Highly recommended."

"Alex Coelho has walked my dog Wrigley for over two years. During this time he has become an enormous part of my dogs life and has had more than a positive effect on Wrigley’s behaviour. They are great friends. Alex has always been very reliable and responsible in the care of Wrigley - even dropping him off at the vet for grooming when needed. Wrigley has also stayed with Alex while I’ve been away and Wrigley has always been very happy with him. I feel that Wrigley is treated by Alex as he would treat his own dogs, lots of pats, cuddles and discipline when needed. I can’t recommend Alex highly enough."

"We first met Alex in February 2017, when we engaged his services to walk our then 13-week old labradoodle puppy. Since that time he has regularly walked and cared for our dog four-to-five times a week, and we have been very happy with the services he has provided. Alex is a conscientious and responsible service provider. He is exceptionally reliable and responsive – even if we needed to change plans at the last minute (often to ask for additional care if other commitments came up), Alex was always happy to accommodate us. He clearly cares deeply for animals and developed a strong bond with our dog. Because of his dependability and professionalism, we always felt completely comfortable having him care for our beloved pet and entering our home during the day."

"Alex has been walking my dog Gigi for over two years now and I cannot recommend him highly enough. He is extremely reliable, prompt with communications and goes out of his way to help out when I have had unexpected situations arise. Most importantly, my pooch Gigi loves him! As a rescue greyhound, we had a few issues to overcome as she settled into city life, but from the very first day Alex has shown an unusual affinity and gentleness with her that undoubtably helped her to adapt to her new environment. When I first brought Gigi home she was unable to walk up and down my stairs for fear, and Alex carried her up and down two flights of stairs for me until she was able to learn what to do! He kept me up to date with her progress as she learned how to socialise with the other dogs, and helped with training her (and me!) so she can now walk off leash. It's great to know that when she goes out with him she's with someone that I can trust, really cares and connects with dogs. I would recommend him without reservation."

"We have been using Alex to walk our standard poodle, Louis, for some months now and are absolutely delighted with the service he provides. Alex is reliable, friendly, and from our perspective totally dependable. He always advises us in advance if there is any small variation in pick-up times and equally he has been quite prepared to adapt to any changes we need to make on occasion that arise from our own various commitments. Most importantly, Louis is ecstatically happy about his times with Alex who is both gentle but firm with him. They have a bond that is the product of Alex’s genuine kindness and affection for our dog and we are extremely pleased to have entered into this relationship with him."

A Little About Myself
How I Became a Dog Walker
My name is Alex Coelho. I am 40 years old. I have loved dogs since I was little. I started working with them, as a dog handler, in the police force back in my home country, and since I arrived in Sydney in 2015 I have been working as a dog walker. I could not ask for a better job. I think they are the best creatures in the world and throughout all those years my passion for them has only increased. Being around them daily, makes me realise how kind, loyal and special they are and that the only things they want are our love and affection. So no matter what happens they will always be by our side loving us unconditionally.
