Your Pet's Next Best Friend!

Pet care experience

Hey there! I'm Alex, I'm 25 years old and I would love to come take care of your furbaby! I'm very reliable, dedicated, and will always go the extra mile to care for you and your furry friends. I have very flexible availability, caring for pets is my life! I take this work extremely seriously, and it shows especially in my quality of care. I take pride in allowing you to be at ease while away from your furbabies, full time, all year round! I have recently moved to Asheville, but my previous work was based in Winston-Salem and the surrounding areas! I currently am only accepting drop-ins and walking, so my doggie has time to adjust from our big move! I've had dogs and cats since before I can remember, I have pet sat for coworkers, teachers, family members, and have over a year of professional dog walking experience for a local company. I have no breed or size restrictions. I am a proud rescue pit bull dad, who is my pride and joy, and I have an affinity towards misunderstood animals. Whatever patience your baby may need, I am all for taking those baby steps to make them as comfortable as possible. I'm also not shy to any cold-blooded family members either! I am an avid reptile and fish hobbyist, and would love to give them some loving too! I am a huge creepy-crawly nerd and love spiders especially, so I am open to any and all critters! Find me on Facebook, under "Alex's Critter Care". Can't wait to hear from you soon!

On the first day, he didn't follow the directions I gave him during the meet & greet that would have made my dog more comfortable with him. I gave him the benefit of the doubt in case he just forgot. On the second day, he gave my dog a walk that was .17 of a mile for what was supposed to be a 30 minute walk. The reasons he gave me did not make much sense to me. Sounds like he sat on my couch for a while, which is not helpful. My dog has always walked at least a mile with other sitters on Rover. So I canceled the booking.

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.
