Hi! My Name is Alex and I offer pet sitting and dog walking at very affordable rates in the New York City area. I have 15 years of experience starting with my very own pet sitting business at 7 years old, in addition to having references and past client recommendations. I have worked at a vet clinic and I am currently a student at Penn State. I can provide unmatched care for your pet and provide as many updates as needed! I have worked with animal shelters, rescue originations and large animal farms. I can ensure quality care and treat your pet like I would my very own. I would love to meet you and I hope I can help in any way I can! I am currently remote and have plenty of time to take care and work with your dog or cat! They are not kenneled but are taken care of like they are away on vacation too. I treat your dog or cat like I would my very own. I have over 17 years of experience of sitting, working with rescues and fostering.

Alex did a fantastic job watching our two girls!!! She sent us updates and we could tell they were getting so much love. As an added bonus our apartment seemed even cleaner than when we left! Can’t recommend Alex enough!!

Alex was amazing! I was nervous to leave my senior dog who has recently lost her vision and is diabetic and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch her! She is super responsive and was great with keeping me updated and sending me pictures! I felt at ease and knew she was in great hands with Alex. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

Here’s a warm, natural review you can post: Alex was absolutely wonderful! She stayed in our home while watching our dog and took amazing care of everything. She kept us updated, made us feel completely at ease while we were away, and our dog was happy and well cared for when we got home. She also left our house incredibly clean—it honestly looked just as good (if not better!) than when we left. It was such a relief to come home to a spotless house and a happy pup. We would absolutely book Alex again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and trustworthy sitter!

Life saver! Had to leave for a work trip and Alex came over to my apartment and stayed for a couple weeks with my dog max. She was very responsive with texts and updates and when I came back the apartment was even cleaner than when I left it. Very knowledgeable and will definitely be booking again- thank you so much!

Alex was awesome!!! Penny has bad separation anxiety, but Alex was more than accommodating. She sent pictures and asked questions, and it was super to great to feel at ease that Penny was being well cared for :)

Alex took AMAZING care of Stella while I was traveling. She was so caring, patient, and affectionate with her, and I could truly see how comfortable Stella felt. She followed all of her medication instructions perfectly, kept me updated, and treated her like family. I felt completely at ease the entire time. I will 100% rebook her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and loving!
