Information Alex P. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet(s) have any special needs or behaviors that I should factor into their care - things like energy level, sociability with a new person, allergies, medication needs, triggers, favorite spots for pets and ones to be avoided, and how they like to be loved! The more info, the better care I can provide and the faster I can build up trust and bond.

A typical day

This varies a lot pet to pet since each one is unique. I try to provide whatever your pet(s) prefer, whether it's extra play time with a favorite toy, pets while eating, cuddles, scritches, or anything else.

Loving Pet Sitter-Flexible Schedule

Pet care experience

I've had cats ever since I was little (plus a few dogs, fish, and rabbits as a kid!), and I absolutely adore animals. I had done pet sitting (dogs & cats) and dog walking for several friends and neighbors over the years as well as fostering cats before joining Rover as a sitter after losing my senior cat. I'd love nothing more than to give your pet(s) some extra love when you're away. Your pet is sure to get lots of care and attention - whether it's cuddles, pets, treats, extra play time, or simply having a comfort human nearby for a bit. I can also provide detailed updates to help ease any worries while you're away.

Alex was available for a last minute booking to do check ins for my cat since my original cat sitter stopped responding 5 days before our trip. Alex was great with Keke and has a lot of experience with cats. They kept me updated and voiced any concerns while I was away.

I’m so glad we found Alex! We just moved in a few weeks before our vacation and needed someone fast. Luckily for us Alex was available. My normally shy kitty came right out for her and even let her pick him up! He was so well cared for while we were away and we got great updates, pics, and videos.

Alex is such a kind and trustworthy person! They took such good care of my cat, and I worried less knowing they were around. They definitely understand what cats, and pets overall, need, and I could tell Goose felt loved while I was away. Was great with pictures and updates! Would definitely recommend.

Alex was great! Our dog was also a big fan. She was communicative and sent us a bunch of pictures while we were on vacation

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.
