Your fur baby’s new BFF!

Pet care experience

Doggies are my #1 passion!! I have many years experience taking care of dogs (both my own and those I’ve fostered through animal orgs), & I’m the 1st person my friends call when they need someone to look after their pup.:) I specialize in Brachycephalic breeds (bulldogs, French bulldogs, etc) & understand their special needs. I guarantee your doggy will feel right at home with me and I’ll shower them with tons of love and snuggles and affection! Im home full-time and live a few blocks from Fort Greene Park - great for throwing balls and playing, and my neighborhood is excellent for walks. I live with my boyfriend, who is also a huge dog lover and has tons of experience caring for dogs. So you’ll have two hands on deck to give your pup a double dose of love and attention. They are welcome on the furniture and bed! But if that’s a no no for them at home just let me know and I’ll make sure to stick to whatever rules you have in place for them. I’m extremely trustworthy and if you prefer an at-home visit (dropin or overnight) I’ll treat your home with the utmost respect.

It was an absolute pleasure having Alex watch over our 4 month old puppy! Even before us dropping him off, Alex was so tentative with the communications, made sure that all my questions were answered and put me at ease since it was my first time leave my pup with a sitter for the day. Alex certainly has a love for dogs and my puppy loved her instantly! She kept me posted with updates/photos/videos throughout the day and even taught him a new command!! When we went to go pick up our puppy, you can tell that he didn't want to come back, which actually made me so happy! I'm looking forward to working again with Alex.

Alex was amazing! Very flexible and gave me updates very often which helped ease my first time using Rover! My pup can be a handful but she did a great job with her. Def recommend and plan to use her services in the future!!

Alex was great! Super concerned about Olive's exercise and routine. She made Olive feel very comfortable in her home and took her on a really great, long walk which is always nice. Would definitely rebook!

Information Alex R. would like to know about your pet

It would be helpful to know the size and weight of your dog prior to sitting - I’m a small gal and comfortable with dogs of all sizes but if they are on the larger size & have aggressive leash tendencies I want to make sure we’re a fit. Id also like to know if they’re fully House trained (it’s ok if they aren’t and they can use wee wee pads in the apt if that’s the case, but I’d like to be informed of their potty habits). I love ALL dogs no matter the breed, but specialize in the care of French Bulldogs and Bulldogs having owned them myself, and any other brachycephalic breeds. I understand the anxiety an owner feels ab entrusting them with someone who knows how to handle their special needs (not letting them get too hot, when and how to calm and cool them down, monitoring their breathing and how to care for any special allergies, etc.)

A typical day

I can’t wait to take your pup on walks around my Fort Greene neighborhood! We can play fetch in the park, and laze around in the sunshine once they’ve had their fill of exercise. I have a pretty large living room perfect for inside play and a comfy couch and bed for curling up and snuggling. I can also bring them to one of the dog parks in the area if you’re comfortable with them playing with other dogs.
