Experienced Loving Pet Sitter!

I have worked as a professional dog & cat sitter for 18 years but have 25+ years of animal care experience. My wife also has 25+ years of animal care experience. We will make sure your animals are loved, cared for, played with, walked, comforted and treated like a member of our family while in our care. We offer house sitting at your home and for repeat client, boarding in our home. We have lots of dog & cat toys. We have lots of experience house sitting & boarding. My wifes name is Cristina, who is an animal lover with many years of pet sitting experience and is home full time. Tator, our dog, is a cairn terrier with 3 legs, who loves all animals and is the kindest, sweetest, most gentle dog. He DOES NOT come to house sittings with us and is cared for by a close friend. Sterling, our cat is the friendliest cat and loves other animals. When pet sitting, we take potty breaks every 1-1.5 hours, we go on at least 2 longer walks a day but this will vary depending on your pets specific needs. We are very flexible about drop offs/drop ins/pick ups, last minute bookings, or extending your pets stay. Whether you have a pup who needs leash training, socializing etc. or a senior who may have slowed down a bit and needs special care, or you need a sitter and playmate for your cat, we are here to give the best care and attention to your furry best friend! Please read our amazing reviews by past client, most of which are current & permanent repeat clients. *We are a married couple who house sit together. Alex usually handles the meet & greets, but Cristina can come to the meet & greets, if requested*

Alex & Christina were wonderful pet/house sitters. We especially appreciated the photographs of our fur babies & their excellent communication.

We were so impressed with Alex and Chrissy's care of our pet family and will definitely use them again. This was our first long trip away from our cats and dog and the daily messages with pictures that we received made our vacation worry-free. One of our reclusive, elderly cats has even started socializing more since they stayed with them and we never thought that was possible! So appreciative of the love and care they gave our family!

Alex and his wife did an amazing job watching our dogs. Alex even hand fed our elderly boy when he would not eat everything. They also cleaned to house before they left.

We could not have been happier with Alex and his wife! They took such good care of our dog and showered him with attention and affection. They were super communicative and responsive. We have already booked them for another trip!

We have no breed preferences and believe all breeds are wonderful and deserve love. We do have a dog and a cat so we don't sit animals who are aggressive towards other dogs or cats. However, we do not bring our animals to house sittings, they are cared for by a close family friend.
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.
