Hello!

Pet care experience

I have been working with dogs (whether it be in kennels, dog-sitting, or now as a vet assistant) for over 6 years. It is something I love to do!

Alex was wonderful!! Not only was he able to House Sit for Nash after my former Rover Sitter cancelled last minute, he was promptly available for a Meet n’ Greet. He and Nash instantly bonded and they had some great walking and snuggling sessions. Highly recommend Alex for your pet needs :)

Alex loves animals and it is apparent in the way he treats them. Alex has watched our dogs on numerous occasions - just letting them out during the day as well as staying at our house when we went on vacation. Our dogs were well taken care of and are always happy to see him. I have also seen Alex in the neighborhood walking another dog and was very attentive. Alex worked at our local vet and every time I saw him at the vet, he was very caring toward the animals there for care. I highly recommend Alex for any pet needs. He is trustworthy, kind and responsible.

Alex is a kind gentleman that I trusted in my home. I had him stay over night with my dog for over a week. He kept in touch and my dog loved him. He was highly recommended to me by someone else that also used him. Maria W.

I would trust my dogs unquestionably to Alex, who I’ve known since he & my son, now 27, became close friends in elementary school. Alex , who has looked after our terrier dogs while we were on vacation, is wonderful w/ animals, very kind & caring. He pays attention to details and follows instructions. He’s extremely responsible & aims to please customers. One of the unique benefits Alex brings to the care of pets is experience— he was a longtime employee of the Hybla Valley Vet, & now works for a veterinary practice in Fairfax Station. Hire Alex to take care of your pet. You’ll be glad you did.

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.
