Alex grew up in the Bay Area and found himself in San Francisco in 2005. His love for animals began at a very early age. His father was born and raised on a farm so it followed that Alex grew up with the opportunity to work with almost every farm animal one can think of. Over the years, Alex has owned, cared for, and trained four dogs, including his current pup, American Rottweiler, Isa.

Alex rescued Isa when she was one year old and he has been a proud, happy papa to her now for over eight years. Alex has also owned cats, snakes, chickens, hamsters, rabbits, parakeets and finches, as well as numerous fish.

Alex’s career path led him through mobile communications, real estate, and importing before he realized his true passion in working with animals. In 2009, Alex started a dog walking business in San Francisco. He joined On The Go Pet Care to offer his business skills and pet care expertise to help manage OTPC’s growth. Alex promotes a culture of safe, fun and loving dog care with an emphasis on manners and socialization. He offers a gentle demeanor to all pets in his care. Alex is Pet CPR and First Aid certified through the American Red Cross.

Jennifer grew up in Shasta County, which made it condusive for her to develop a strong passion for animals given all the acreage.  At age five, Jennifer's parents allowed her to care for her very own kitten, Kate.  During the same year, her family was moved by a news story focusing on rescued formally abused German Shepherd named Heidi available for adoption.  After some strong persuasion on Jennifer's end, the family rushed to give Heidi a chance.  Jenn’s family had two acres of land, which made it ideal for her and her sisters to play with Heidi because there was always plenty of room to run around and explore.  

Magali grew up in a family where the respect and love of animals and nature were highly valued. Surrounded by animals from an early age, she developed a strong love for them and a passion for dogs and cats in particular.

Magali had the experience of spending some of her younger years in Africa with her family. When she was six, they returned to their native France, in a rural area which allowed Magali to care of her own cat, Poupoune, a love story that spanned over 14 years. Her family also rescued a dog who had been placed by his previous owner in a shelter because he was too old to participate in dog shows anymore. Mali, as he was called, was a beautiful Saluki and Magali helped him to recover the pride of his breed, by racing by walking and running with him every day after school.

Since that time Magali has always looked for ways to balance her life around the needs of her beloved four legged friends and to give them all the care and love they deserve. Magali is also a photographer, and finds a lot of pleasure in capturing shots of smiley dogs and playful cats.
