Pet care experience

Your Pets New Best Friend

I am now taking new clients!! I am a science professional with a background as a Petcare Associate. I can care for a range of animals such as fish, reptiles, birds, and our furry four-legged friends! I have such a large heart and sweet spot for animals. I am very flexible with times and distances and am willing to discuss any specific needs and wants for your families best friends! I am also willing to meet before hand so we can be more familiar! I was raised in a household with a Rottweiler and Yorkshire terroir, 4 cats, 2 parakeets, a ball python, bearded dragon, tropical fish and over 50 gerbils. Over the years, those pets have fluctuated but I have always flocked towards animals. Currently, I have my kitty cat Moe. She is a fierce and feisty 8 year old. More about myself, I am a 30 year old female. I currently landed my dream Job in Seattle after 4 years of working super hard! I now work as a fish biologist for NOAA, providing data and research for the government for quotas and sustainability of Alaska’s fisheries!! ***Sadly, this position does take me away for portions of the summer months :(( *** I am very organized and have an eye for details! My number one thing is to ensure that you trust me while you are away from your loved ones and to solidify that I will care for them as is they were my own! Thank you so much! -Alex

Safety, trust & environment

Alex was such a loving caretaker of our pup Loofers. She sent so many amazing pictures of him on different adventures every day that made it clear that she really loves our pup, which is exactly what we hope for in a sitter. We came home to a super clean house as well! We will definitely be booking her for more future house sittings.

Alex was the perfect sitter for our dogs. They loved her right away, she kept us updated throughout our trip, and took great care of our home. We look forward to having her sit for us again!

First time using Rover - and although my mother thinks I am crazy - we trusted Alex with our home - and our 2 dogs - one who can be very anxious, and the other a puppy. Alex was there when she said she would be, playful with the pup, cuddly with the anxious one! She was respectful to our home, and went above and beyond by teaching our dogs some new skills and sending photo updates. I would highly recommend Alex and we will be booking with her again (if YOU haven't already!). Thank you Alex!

Alex is amazing. This was my first time using Rover. I have a 1 yr old cat. He’s not that friendly with strangers. Alex came to meet him and the next thing I know - they are buddies. Alex is amazing. She gave updates, sent pics and is just a wonderful person in general. I just can’t say enough great things about her. Thank you so much for watching our kitty!!!

Alex was awesome with my three cats. She even won over my grumpiest cat, who doesn't even let me hold him! She is very friendly and communicative. Would definitely recommend and book with again!

Just like people, I get along with any one with any type of behavior! I am easy going and will be able to get the feel for your animal! I have volunteered at shelters, so I know how to cope with injuries animals/angry/shy. IF you have any special needs for your animal, I would love to know of their personality and their ticks! We’re all human right!
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.
