Pet care experience

Will Love and Care For Your Pets!

I’m Alex, and I love all kinds of animals. I have experience caring for furry animals from cats to tarantulas! I am an active and loving caretaker who has been around dogs, cats and exotic animals my whole life. I believe affection and compassion are key elements of loving, happy lives — and I’m so excited to offer those qualities to your pet! I have big goals in life and my pet-sitting income will help me give back to the community and reach my life goals. The first thing you’ll notice about me is my big smile! I’m a kind, caring and enthusiastic animal lover who can’t wait to help care for your pet. Don’t be surprised if I greet your dog with a big hug (if they’re open to it!) I work during the day from 7:30 to 4 p.m. and am available evening and weekends. I Love getting Exercise so I'll definitely take your Dogs on Energizing Walks too! I describe myself as empathetic, enthusiastic and kind. I tap into that empathy when I encounter any human or animal in a tough situation, and I respond with kindness. Enthusiasm means I’m always up for going out and trying new things in this beautiful world. And I was born with a kind spirit, which has helped me throughout life! I constantly give compassion to others and my enthusiasm stems from my wanting to go out and have new experiences! My kind nature is a gift, and taking care of others really comes naturally to me. All of these traits combine to make me an excellent pet sitter.

Alex will forever be my go to when it comes to knowing my fur babies are safe, cared for and loved while I'm away from home. I always know they're in genuinely loving hands when he's with them and it makes it so much easier to be away without worrying

Alex was great. Sent lots of pics and kept me informed. Helped with missing my fur babies to know they were being watched by someone who would give them the same care, love and attention as I give them.

I want to make sure your furry family member and I get off to a great start, so I’ll need to know all the critical details before we meet. First: Do they love big hugs, or are they shy? Do they prefer busy parks or solitary nature walks? Do they have any special needs or dietary restrictions? Is there anything they especially love — like fetch? Are there any fears or anxieties that I should know about?
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.
