We have a large fenced in yard, my three little dogs love to play so if your pup is high energy, they will have lots of playmates here! On the other hand, if they are on the more calm side they will also be right at home here :)

A typical day

I love to chat with owners about what a typical day looks like for them/what an ideal day would look like for their pup; we have a large fenced yard for games, and a beautiful neighborhood for walks if that is what your dog prefers! I have a almost 5-year-old daughter, who loves to help me take care of the animals and is a never ending source of fetch if your pup likes to play ball!

Pet care experience

There has never been a time in my life that I was without pets! Growing up with my mom as a distinguished dog trainer and author, I was surrounded by dogs and puppies almost constantly - and while dogs have always been around me, my love for animals doesn’t stop there. I owned horses growing up, and my husband and I now have three dogs and three cats of own! I am comfortable with dogs and cats of all sizes, as well as a range of pet ages from newborn to the elderly. I have worked with many special needs dogs and am comfortable dispensing medications or injections- I am confident that you will feel comfortable and reassured when I am with your pet. I will love them like my own!! please let me know if you have any questions!

Alex is amazing!! So good with my fresh Pitbull Mikey, and a very trustworthy individual who i would definitely have watch him again. Wicked detailed Rover cards and photos, they made me feel like I knew what was going on, even when I was hundreds of miles away, it gave me a lot of peace of mind so I could enjoy myself. Thank you Alex!!

We were able to enjoy a full day and evening away because of Alex. She checked on our fur babies twice today and she gave the best, most thorough update on all their activities. She’s also an excellent photographer which is an added bonus. Finally, our shorkie is now on heart medication and it’s so comforting knowing Alex is taking such great care of her. Thank you Alex!!

Alex has been wonderful! You probably already read all the good reviews so I will just add few things from our perspective. We have gone through few sitters in the last few years because of either relocation or career change so we have few comparisons to make. All our sitters were great BUT Alex is the first sitter who goes the extra mile to care for your home as much as your pet. Instructions were followed perfectly, rover cards are updated with all the details, great pics, adheres to schedules and simply great pet care overall. Alex was also the first pet sitter to leave your home 100% the way she finds. When I say 100%, I mean it. I am sure there are some of you who would appreciate that more than others so we give our two thumbs up for that! As long as Alex is available here, we will be booking her moving forward for all our pet care needs.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
