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: * update you after every dog walk/daily for every pet sit * 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 is the first rover me and my husband have booked and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We have a very sweet but timid toy poodle that has separation anxiety and Alex was so kind and patient with him. We are so happy Teddy made a new friend in Alex, we will definitely book again!

Alex was super responsive and gave our dog a great walk! She also sent photos and completed a very thorough card. Would definitely recommend Alex!

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!
