Loving Care When You're Not There

Pet care experience

Reactive? High-energy? Puppy? Senior? Whatever makes your pup special, I can handle it, and I enjoy the challenge! I currently work in Sacramento at the Foundation for California Community Colleges, assisting with foundation-wide operational functions. Before this, I was a medical case manager in San Diego for over 5 years where I gained valuable medical knowledge which has helped me in my care for dogs. I have also grown up with dogs ranging in size, age, and ability--from 10lb puppies with lots of energy to 100lb senior dogs who just want to cuddle. I believe the most important aspect of dog sitting is keeping dogs in their usual routines. This includes regular walks, training, and lots of love and cuddles. I also believe that tired dogs are well behaved dogs, so lots of exercise is included with every dog sitting stay. I have decided to join Rover to meet more community members (people and canine) and save up for a down-payment on my first home. Basic availability: -Weekdays 5:00P - 7:30A (can refer low-cost walker if lunch walk needed) -Weekends open as needed Additional Charges: -outside of Davis, $5/night -late pick-up on final day (more than 3 hours after drop-off), $5-15 depending on time Example: Stay begins at 8A on Monday, does not end until 8P Tuesday. Will be charged normal nightly rate plus additional fee for pickup later than 11A Tuesday.

Alex is an amazing sitter and we are grateful to have him keep our reactive pup Sophie happy and healthy. He also does a great job keeping our house neat for when we return. Thank you Alex!

I cannot rate his services highly enough. Alex was super accommodating, polite, and professional. He sent reassuring pictures everyday and let me know when there was an issue - which he happily solved by going out for kitty supplies. He also made any sure any kitty messes (e.g., tracked litter) were cleaned up before my return. I absolutely recommend Alex's service to anyone needing a sitter.

Alex went above and beyond when he was checking in on my cat over the Christmas break. He truly cares about your pet and is so thoughtful and wonderful. If you don’t hire him to look after your pets, you and your pet are seriously missing out, he is amazing.
