Information Alex P. would like to know about your pet

It is important for me to know the eating schedule, vet information and general preferences (walking, roaming outside). I want to make sure I am as prepared as possible for your pet's stay and know what will make your dog happy and healthy.

A typical day

I enjoy taking dogs outside in my fenced in backyard and watching them roam and enjoy the sunshine. I spend a lot of time outside on the back deck, and dogs tend to enjoy the outdoor time. I also enjoy taking dogs either to local parks or even on hikes if the owner and dog is open to it.

Pet care experience

I've lived with dogs most of my life, but now just have a cat. I love caring for both cats and dogs, and I have been known to take in and feed many animals, including some farm animals in the past. My house, yard, and personal touch will make your pet's stay a pleasure.

Alex was so fantastic! We are really thankful that he was able to watch our pit, Hailey. Would absolutely book him next time.

Thank you, Alex, for showing Colby a great time and for taking care of him on such short notice. We know he’s an energetic handful!

Alex is fantastic with my 110 pound Rotty mix. He clearly has a knack for dogs and understands their behaviors. It’s clear he treats other people’s pets as if they were his own. I highly recommend

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.
