Pet care experience

Reliable, Caring, and Pet-Loving!

I have been caring for dogs since I was 10 years old and have always been surrounded by them. Growing up with dogs, I understand their needs, behaviors, and how to make them feel comfortable and loved. I have experience with dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to senior dogs needing extra care.

I cannot recommend Alex enough! He truly has a deep empathy for animals. It's rare to find someone who genuinely cares about the well-being of pets, but Alex is truly exceptional. He has a remarkable ability to connect with dogs, understanding their needs, moods, and personalities. One of the things that stands out the most is his patience. I have a dog who is very active and Alex is always up for playing and taking a walk. It's clear that Alex understands that every dog is unique and needs time to adjust, which I deeply appreciate as a dog mom. If you're looking for a dog sitter who is not only responsible but also genuinely invested in the well-being of your puppy, Alex is the one. I couldn't be more grateful for the care he gives to my doggy, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone in need of reliable pet care.

Safety, trust & environment

I provide a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment where dogs can feel at home. I make sure they have plenty of space to relax, play, and follow their usual routine. I prioritize their safety by keeping a clean and secure space, always supervising playtime, and ensuring they get the care and attention they need.

Pets

A typical day

I make sure to stimulate the dogs both physically and mentally with a variety of activities. I start the day with a refreshing walk around the huge green areas in our village, allowing the dogs to explore new scents and enjoy the outdoors. For mental enrichment, I use puzzle toys, licking pads, and Kongs filled with tasty treats to keep them entertained and engaged. Socialization is also a key part of the experience! I take them to the dog park where they can safely interact and play with other dogs. If they prefer one-on-one playtime, I engage them with fun games like fetch, tug-of-war, or obedience challenges. Throughout the day, I ensure they get plenty of attention, belly rubs, and companionship, making their time with me a positive and enriching experience!

Before caring for a pet, I need to know key details to provide the best experience possible. I always ask about: - Temperament and Behavior – Are they shy, playful, or anxious? Do they get along with other dogs? - Exercise Needs – Do they have a lot of energy or prefer short walks and relaxed play? - Favorite Activities and Toys – Do they love fetch, tug-of-war, puzzle games, or snuggling? - Feeding and Treats – Meal schedules, dietary restrictions, and favorite snacks. - Medical Needs – Any medications, allergies, or health concerns I should be aware of. - Commands and Training – What commands they know and any specific training I should reinforce. - Socialization Preferences – Are they comfortable at dog parks, or do they prefer solo adventures? - House Rules and Routine – Any habits or rules they follow at home (e.g., furniture restrictions, crate training). By knowing these details, I can tailor each visit to ensure their safety, comfort, and happiness while you're away!
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.
