About: Hi! My name is Alec! I’m a 29 year old registered behavior technician in Alexandria, MN. My hobbies and interests include cooking, skiing, reading, camping, and cleaning. I am originally from Wheaton, Minnesota, but moved to Oahu in September of 2021. I’m back in MN for the summer and would love to babysit, walk, and spoil your wonderful pets to earn extra-cash and avoid missing my own kitty in Hawaii! I have experience with dogs and cats, and am comfortable with puppies and kittens, elderly and disabled pets, or animals with any special conditions. If you have any questions about me, feel free to reach out. I cant wait to meet you and your precious pets! I have a variable work schedule, so I can often fit visits in at random times. On days that I have off I would love to spend the day spoiling your furry friends. I will follow your instructions to the letter, and ensure the safety of your pet before beginning any activity. I would never take any risks with your precious pooches!
“Jocelyn was very attentive to our pug, Morty. We know that he can be stubborn sometimes and she showed him patience and was very understanding of his nature and accidents. My partner and I were on an international trip during our booking and her daily updates made us both feel relieved that Morty was being well taken care of. I felt that she showed him the same amount of compassion as if he were her own dog.”
“Daniel was great. He checked in every day and gave Nala plenty of attention. He was upfront about when he'd be at the house and made me feel comfortable knowing our girl was safe. He went above and beyond.”
“Mikayla does a fantastic job caring for our diabetic cat and I don’t know what we would do without her! She’s extremely reliable and more than happy to help with anything that may come up in our absence. She keeps us in the know about how things are going and was so touched when our cat fully warmed up to her during this extended period. Highly recommend Mikayla for any pet care needs!”

Cat parents share their Rover experiences - Alexandria
Alexis is phenomenal! I was traveling for about a week over the holidays and had booked her for drop-in visits to check on my cats every other day. It was originally going to be 3 visits, but I had to last minute add in a 4th. She was very responsive and super flexible for me having to add that extra day. My cats all free-feed, but my senior cat (14) has a rather unique feeding routine where I seclude the younger cats so he can eat a separate meal. During our Meet & Greet, I showed her how I do that with them and while I was gone, she jumped right into that routine to make sure they were distracted and Petrie got his meal. She is so kind and compassionate and took excellent care of my babies while I was gone. They all loved her so much too, which says a lot because one of my cats is usually very cautious around new people, but he did not once shy away from Alexis. He couldn't get enough of her and got so many lovins! On the days she wasn’t there, my cats were a little mischievous, so by the time she came for her visit, she almost always had to pick something up or clean up a small mess. That didn’t seem to sway her at all though - she still provided outstanding care for my babies and kept me in the loop on their shenanigans. I don’t typically travel for long periods like that, but having Alexis as my sitter has given me such a peace of mind. Given my babies loved her so much and how well she took care of them and the place, I will not hesitate to book her again for my next trip!

Cat sitters on Rover care for your cats’ needs and can spend quality time with them, including activities like feeding, playing, and refreshing their water and litter boxes. Depending on your arrangement, you can schedule as many visits per day as your cat needs or find a sitter who can stay at your house overnight. Some sitters also board cats in their home.
House sitting can be ideal for cats who need socialization or care that lasts longer than a few hours. Your cat stays in their own home, on their own schedule, with care based on what you and your sitter agree on together.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
A Meet & Greet is a short introductory meeting between you, your cat, and a sitter. It can take place in person or virtually, although we recommend in-person so that your pet can get to know your sitter or the new environment. During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Most pet parents and sitters on Rover welcome Meet & Greets because the process can give confidence and peace of mind for service experiences, especially for longer stays or first-time bookings.
Yes, you can find sitters who have experience administering medication or managing dietary requirements. You can also find pet sitters who accept only one pet at a time, which is ideal for anxious puppies or senior pets who move at a gentler pace. Some sitters will also list availability for 24/7 care, also known as constant care, in their profiles.
Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and request a Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
Sitters on Rover set their own cancellation policy, which you can find on their profile under their calendar availability.
Cancelling before a booking begins and before the sitter's cutoff time qualifies you for a full refund. Same-day cancellations for walks, day care, and drop-ins follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for dog boarding and house sitting, you will receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for the remaining days when you cancel the same day a booking should begin.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means our support team works with you to find a replacement sitter.
