Pet care experience

Experienced dog sitter with nearly 10 years of Rover experience, I started on the app in college as a side hustle and have been loving it ever since! I own a home in Dorchester Center near Lower Mills, with great walking routes along the Neponset River Trail, nearby dog parks, and plenty of pup-friendly adventures. I offer walks, drop-ins, daycare, overnight stays, and personalized care for dogs of all sizes and personalities—from tiny lap dogs to Bernese Mountain dogs. Having grown up around dogs my entire life, I understand how important it is to leave your pet with someone trustworthy, patient, and attentive. I work fully remote in tech sales and share my home with Bo, my very friendly chocolate lab, so your pup will get plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. With no children at home, my focus is entirely on providing a safe, fun, and comfortable environment for your furry friend. I’d love to meet you and your dog—let me know how I can help!

Alex is an excellent dog sitter. Morrissey loves him, and he does a great job with him. I used Alex for a full week to check in on him daily. He was flexible, considerate, and kind. I'm glad to have someone nearby who is great for check-ins on Morrissey on long work days or when out of town for short trips.

Alex recently watched my pup Milo. I accidentally told him 8am to 10am and really meant until 10pm. Alex so kindly offered to keep Milo regardless of how I messed up the times. He took Milo to the dog park and on a walk and told me all about it! Alex is now someone i will not only use for my own dog, but i will be recommending him to all of my dog parent friends as well. I highly trust Milo in his hands and any dog will be so lucky to be watched by Alex! Thanks again!

The first time I went away I was worried what to do about my dog. But then Alex suggested that he take care of my dog while I was away. Thank god he did this, Cocoa (my dog) was much happier and more comfortable in Alex’s care. When I dropped her off he had a place for her to relax and planned on taking her for a few walks and while I was gone and she couldn’t have been more excited. When I returned I was happy to see that cocoa was happy and not dying to leave, Alex is a great dog caregiver and dog lover, I would recommend alex to anyone looking for a caregiver for their dog.

Alex is a wonderful young man who loves animals more than anything! He is wonderful with pets in general, especially dogs & cats. He has watched my pets several times and I highly recommend him!
