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
Reviews
All went well! Mishka is thankful for her comfortable stay!
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!
Alex is an incredible pup sitter. She’s patient, detail oriented, communicative and Taz loved hanging with her.

Home
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!
