Pet care experience

New to Rover? Use code "ALEXM23754" to get $20 off your first booking with me! _____________________________________________ 100+ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️Star Reviews, 6 Years on Rover🎉, WFH 👩‍💻 🐕‍🦺My Experience: I have over 6 years of professional experience with dogs and cats. I have 9 years of personal experience with 2 of my own dogs and 1 that I fostered for a short period of time. *I do NOT currently have pets that live with me. Throughout both my professional and personal experiences I've worked with animals of all temperaments, ages, personalities, and special needs. I understand that every dog and cat is unique and I deeply enjoy getting to know each pet individually and provide unique care for each! ❤️My Passion: One of the greatest joys of this job is being able to watch pets and their families grow through life. I've had the pleasure of working with young families who just got their first puppy and being able to care for their puppy as they go through life's biggest moments together; getting married, buying a house, having babies, new jobs. It's truly special to be able to support and provide peace of mind through life's greatest adventures! I've also had the pleasure of providing care and comfort to senior animals who have lived a long life and need extra care and attention. I know how stressful it can be to have to leave behind your fur baby when they're sick or just getting old. I want to be there to provide peace of mind. I became a pet sitter because animals have always had a special place in my heart, so working with them is unlike any other job. I love being able to wake up every day and go to a job that I absolutely love. It’s great to take care of animals and give back to the community all at the same time. 🐶🐈What You Can Expect As A Pet Owner: 🤝Meet and Greets are Required: This is a great opportunity for both of us to make sure that we’re a good fit for one another! Additionally, I like that we can chat face-to-face about your pet. expectations, and answer any questions or concerns you may have. 📸Daily Pictures and Check-Ins: I will always send you pictures so you can rest easy knowing their best friend is in great hands. 📞Open Communication: I’ll always be open for communication on all fronts, so I’m just a phone call or text away if you have any questions. 👷‍♀️Safety is My #1 Priority: I always listen to pet parent’s concerns about their dog or cats behavior and make informed decisions to ensure everyone’s safety. Every pet is different and sometimes being away from home can bring different behavioral patterns. But through listening, asking questions, and years of experience I am well equipped to handle any situations that arise. If your pet is outside they are always supervised and I always stay away from other animals while walking to minimize any accidents that could happen. Rest assured that safety is my number one priority.

Alex was awesome with my French bulldog! It was the first time she was watched by a non-family member. Alex did a great job making me feel comfortable and confident boarding with her and gave me regular updates and pictures!

Alex was so great with my pug Norman. It was our first time leaving him since we moved to Austin and we were completely at ease. He seemed so happy and relaxed in her home and she made us super comfortable. 10/10 would love to book her again !!

Alex was fantastic with Aly! She was on top of communication before, during and after dog sitting. I can tell Aly was well taken care by her wide smile through the photos sent! Here's to Alex's 100th review! Alex is reliable and will not your furry baby down! Thanks Alex! Until next time! ?

Information Alex M. would like to know about your pet

If boarding, is your pet accustomed to apartment living? Some pets do better than others when it comes to not having constant access to a yard, smaller spaces or frequent noises that may include other animals, people's voices, doors, and elevator noises. Please take this into consideration. Does your pet have any health issues that need to be tended to? For instance, dietary restrictions, medicine, or behavior triggers? Do you have a vet nearby that you trust? Accidents or unexpected illness happen. I require that every pet parent provides me access to an emergency vet and emergency contact information in the event that something unexpected happens. What is your pet's typical schedule? Do you follow it strictly or is it more flexible? What are your pet's comforts and fears? What’s the best way to spoil your pet? I am all about having fun and making sure your pet feels like they're on vacation too!

A typical day

Everyday starts with a morning walk and play time! I like to take breaks from work throughout the day to unwind by going on a walk, cuddling, or playing more. The evenings are more relaxed with another stroll, a dog friendly patio for dinner or drinks, light errands, or watching movies and cuddling.
