Information Alex L. would like to know about your pet

Allergies, dietary restrictions, physical restrictions, preferences, medications, how well they interact with other dogs, children, and adults. How well they do on a leash, if they're spooked easily, what games they like to play, etc!

A typical day

I typically wake up between 5am - 6am and go for a walk along Olive Ave and back and then start my work day in my home office. I take plenty of breaks to play outside in our fenced yard with the dogs and often take walks during the day if it's not too hot! There's also a dog park (with a fenced off area for small dogs) nearby which is great!

Pet care experience

I have been taking care of pets since childhood. I treat every dog like a member of my family and yours will be no different. I have experience with dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds and health/medical conditions and will both follow your instructions flawlessly while also making sure your furry family feels right at home with us!

Cosmo had a great time at Alex’s and even made a new friend, their cute dachshund Lulu. We would definitely use Alex again in the future!

We just used Alex and Brianna for the first time for an extended trip during the holidays and they were awesome. We did a meet and greet prior to the booking and then while we were away, they were in constant communication with us, sending pics and updates on a daily basis. They have a wonderful backyard for exploring and are also very pet friendly inside their house and I know our dog, Clover, got some good walks in as well. I don't know who had the better vacation, us or Clover! Having that piece of mind though allowed us to enjoy our time away for sure! We really appreciated all that they did to make her feel comfortable. We are very happy we found them and would absolutely use them again!

Alex and Brianna are the best!!! Our dogs had the best time and were very well taken care of. We got tons of videos and pictures and updates. The couple work from home so our dogs had tons of attention and love. Also the whole home is set up for dogs and there are no kennels. The dogs can sleep where ever they want and there is a huge yard for them to run around. We also loved that they the sweetest little dog, Lulu who our pugs could play with as well. Highly recommend these sitters!

I can not say enough about how amazing Brianna and Alex are. My puppy had to have emergency surgery right before I left her with them, and they handled her detailed care plan and fragile state with such love and professionalism. They even taught me the trick of hiding her pills in mashed potatoes! They truly deserve ten stars!!!

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.
