Information Alex R. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know: * any aggressive tendencies * phobias * medical conditions * how well they get along with other dogs/people. * how to access your home/any keys in lockboxes? If your dog is staying with me I would also need to know * feeding/potty schedules * where to find food/supplies * sleeping habits * medications Would love to meet you in person or online before the first visit!

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!

The Star Sitter program highlights responsive sitters who deliver highly rated care and have a history of listing accurate availability and preferences, making it easier for pet parents to find the best care for their pets.

Experienced, professionally trained

Pet care experience

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

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.
