College kid who loves dogs and cats

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!

Abby was so happy to spend time with Alex. He was very responsive and reliable. Abby connected with him immediately at our meet and greet. I highly recommend Alex.
