Pet care experience
I've watched dogs of all kinds since I was young! I have a dog of my own, and am trusted by friends that are also dog parents.
Reviews
Alex made me feel so safe leaving my elderly handicapped pug in her care. When I leave I often have a hard time being present wherever I go because of how worried I am about her and the proper care she is or isn't receiving, but Alex almost sent me way TOO many pics and updates- LOL!! I had to lovingly tell her to mellow the texts and pics, which honestly says it all. I also often have a hard time finding a sitter that has experience with elderly dogs that need medication and special needs (like being carried down steps and help sitting up) and she was so experienced with high needs which put so much ease in my heart. My pug also has separation anxiety so to know that Alex was more than happy to sleep with her close by in bed even though she sheds a lot was so special- my pug is in her last years so to know she was comfortable and happy with a stranger turned into a best friend while I was away was everything I could ask for. Definitely booking Alex again!!
Alex was FANTASTIC to our pup, Smiley. Our drop off was impacted by weather and she was completely flexible, shifting her weekend plans to accommodate our needs. This was our first Rover experience and I was definitely being a nervous dog mom, but I clearly didn’t have anything to worry about!! Alex sent frequent pictures when she took him to the dog park and on a hike (after asking our comfort with both activities). Our dogs got along so well, as evidenced by the many pics we got of them cuddling. We’ll definitely book with Alex again!!
Alex is the sweetest and most conscientious dog owner/pet caregiver we know. She has taken care of our pup, Canela, for a full week while we were out of town as well as several drop-in walks on weekdays. We feel like she cares for Canela like she is her own and our pup is always sad to say goodbye to her! She has always been super reliable and even responsive to our last-minute (same day!) requests for walks. She sends us picture updates which helps put us at ease when we are out of town for extended periods or at work for a long day. Will definitely continue to ask Alex to care for Canela!
Alex is one of the most kindhearted pet caretakers I know. From the moment she got her own dog, she has ensured that he has the best treatment possible, from the food he eats, to the exercise and socialization he gets, and everything in between. I mention this because that is the exact same experience that your pet will receive while they are in Alex’s care — as if they were her own. When I became a pet parent, Alex has been extremely attentive to our dog’s needs, consistently asked how we prefer that she interacts with him, and shows as much love to our dog as she does to her own dog. Lastly, Alex’s customer service is top-notch; she will make sure you are updated during your pet’s stay, and she always leads with courtesy. I would strongly recommend her for any service you need.

* Whether your dog gets along well with other dogs * General activity level and favorite activities and treats * Whether or not they are leash trained * Do you normally crate them when leaving them alone? * Normal daily schedule so I can make them feel as comfortable and at-home as possible when they come to stay with us :) * Any particular personality quirks * Any situations you know of that may make them scared, aggressive, or even just uncomfortable so I can do my best to avoid those and keep your pup happy and safe * I cannot accept any dogs that have separation anxiety and exhibit destructive behaviors if left alone * I do live in an apartment building so out of respect for my neighbors I cannot accept dogs that bark or whine excessively
A typical day
I love to stimulate dogs physically and mentally! We'll play a bunch of games, check out smells in my neighborhood and explore all of the parks :)
