I have a passion for animals!

Pet care experience

I work full time as a Home Depot supervisor, i also volunteer in conservation at Big Cat Rescue and Mote Aquarium and Laboratory. I'm originally for Northern Michigan and I've grown up with dogs. A book about me would be titled Caring for People and Animals.. its simple but factual. I used to assist in training dogs with a friend up in NM. I have a passion for volunteering and animals, its a form of therapy for me. When i comes to dogs i thoroughly enjoy exposure to them and they will receive love and compassion as if they were my own dog. As long as the smell of tigers don't freak them out then we should be okay. I live in Brandon, Florida just east of Tampa.

Alex was wonderful with our two dogs and cat! He is responsible and reliable, making sure to keep the pets on their usual schedule. His knowledge of animals made us feel very comfortable, especially when managing our more energetic bully breed dog! He gave our cat her meds without any issue, so medication management is no problem! He communicated for the whole weekend we were away, sending pics and texts letting us know all was going well. Alex also treated our home with respect, leaving it the exact way he found it after an overnight stay. Highly recommend Alex!

Alex was great with my 3 dogs. We had a last minute change with the care of our dogs and he came to the rescue. Sent pictures, videos and updates each time he was at the house. He would let us know if he was going to run a few minutes late or if he needed anything. Will contact him again if we go out if town.

Alex was terrific!! I felt that my Boys “Cosmo and Lasso were well taken care of during my travels. If you need someone to watch your prize possessions; look no further than Alex!! My Boys were excited to see me but I could tell they were in good hands!! ??????

This was our first time using Rover. Alex stayed at our home and cared for our standard poodle for seven days. He not only took excellent care of Mindi, but also our home, got the mail, trash etc.! He walked Mindi everyday and made sure she had everything she needed. It was very comforting to know she was well taken care of during our vacation. I look forward to using his services in the future.
