Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced, professionally trained
I am a former professionally trained dog walker for a local company, but I am switching my services to Rover since I started a graduate program. I also grew up taking care of two large dogs (Rhodesian Ridgebacks), and I often walk, sit, and love on my parents’ two small mutts (Elsa and Bobo). I am a huge animal lover (vegetarian for 18 years!) and believe that their behavior is simply a reflection of how we treat them. With this philosophy in mind I seek to treat animals with the kindness and respect they deserve. I am responsible, friendly, and can't wait to help your dog(s) lead a healthier, more active lifestyle! What I do: * keep you updated about how your pet is doing/send cute photos * clean up after your pet during walks * treat your dog with love and gentleness What I DON’T do: * walk off-leash * anything your dog is uncomfortable with

Ratings and reviews
Alex was an amazing sitter for our high-energy dog! Super detailed in making sure she was giving perfect care.
Alex was wonderful with Lilo! She sent lots of updates and photos of their walks and time together, I would definitely recommend Alex to anyone who is looking for help with their fur babies!
My puppy Naomi had the best time with Alex. She was very attentive to her needs and provided a safe and warm environment for my pup to thrive, which put my mind at ease. It is very clear Alex loves dogs and has a passion for the work she does. Highly recommend.
Alex was so sweet and patient with our senior pup! We were so grateful for her help, attention to detail, and communication!
Alex is wonderful! She sent lots of great pictures and was flexible with pick up and drop off timing. Hoops came back very happy!
As always, Alex is amazing. Our dog is super comfortable staying with her and always comes home smiling. Can't recommend highly enough!

Schedule
I work from home and am flexible to best fit your dog’s needs! If I transport your dog to/from your home it would be via walking or the subway.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have no other pets at home and do not smoke. While I don't have a yard I live across the street from a park and one block away from the dog-friendly Fort Greene Park.
A typical day
I love Fort Greene park if we want to socialize with other people/animals. If your dog is able I love going on long walks to explore prospect park or new areas of Brooklyn/NYC. I also love to learn about your pet and what they love and engaging in whatever play they like best! If sitting overnight: *wake up, feed per your pet’s schedule, walk 4x a day (morning, early afternoon, late afternoon, before bed), dinner, lots of playtime and snuggles!
