Safety, trust & environment

Your pets are always treated with the same love and care that I would give to my own pets. No matter the routine, preferences, or special accomodations you may have, I am willing to help out!

Information Alex K. would like to know about your pet

An important part of my job is to respect and follow your pet's routine and any accomodations. If there are any specific caring instructions, please let me know so that I can give your pet the best care possible!

A typical day

I've always enjoyed taking clients’ dogs on long walks or simply playing around, whether that be playing fetch or hanging out and showing them love. Most important, my care for your animals simply depends on what you prefer, and your pet's safety is always taken as a priority.

Pet care experience

My name is Alex and I have lived in Loudoun County my whole life. I am a 24 year-old who grew up with a very loving Labrador retriever and played with him everyday, in addition to taking him on long walks (30+ minutes). Within the past several years I had been taking care of my parents’ dog in Leesburg which was required to go out every couple of hours and is now highly trained. During my past few years on Rover I have taken care of all sorts of dogs—from high energy pups that love to run around to senior dogs that require more care. Currently, I am living in Sterling as I finish up my degree at George Mason University. I love spending time with all dogs (and cats!) as it also gives me study breaks from schoolwork to get outside. I look forward to meeting you and your pets!

Alex provided drop-in support to our senior Rottweiler, Loki, while we were traveling. Loki has severe arthritis and requires extra special care to include administration of medications and the use of a harness for ambulation and bathroom use. Alex easily adapted to Loki's needs and was incredibly communicative with us whenever he had a question or simply was providing an update. Alex caring for Loki gave us so much peace of mind, knowing he was being well taken care of. We came home to a very happy dog! Would absolutely book with Alex again.

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.
