I've known Alex for over a decade, and in all that time I could say one of the biggest standout traits about him is his love for animals. If I ever need anything concerning my pets, he's the first person I'd go to. He enjoys the company of pets and deeply cares for them like they are his own children. They can feel that and tend to love him, too! It's also a plus that he has plenty of professional experience in petcare.

My son Alex Bakriges asked me to write on his behalf regarding becoming a dog sitter on Rover.com. I must say that I have marveled at Alex's ability and true caring with all kinds of pets. He didn't grow up with a lot pets since I was relatively apprehensive about taking responsibility for them. I've learned so much from Alex - his ability to care for a variety of animals, whether at an animal clinic working with professional veterinarians or his volunteer work with an animal rescue that specialized in the rescue, rehabilitation and placement of dogs, cats, reptiles, birds and small mammals. I'm in full support of Alex's abilities and recommend him without reservation.
