Safety, trust & environment

I recommend a meeting prior to the first stay at your home to get to know each other and to discuss your dog's needs in terms of routine, feeding times, exercise and and personality quirks. I prefer to keep dogs on a lead when going for walks to ensure their safety at all times, in case recall is not guaranteed and to reduce chances of reactivity when over stimulated in the presence of other dogs and strangers.

Information Alex S. would like to know about your pet

I would like to discuss any allergies and sensitivities, as dogs can get curious about items found on the floor during walks that can upset their tummies, they are like quick little hoovers sometimes! I can also administer medicine in case of medical conditions.

A typical day

It is important for me to adhere to the routine the owners have set for their dogs. The length of the walks would depend on your dog's needs, age, breed, and energy levels. Let's chat about what works for your pooch, favourite places they like to visit, favourite games and toys.

Care, attention and belly rubs for your best buddy

Pet care experience

I grew up in a dog loving home where we treated dogs like members of the family. Over the years, friends and family relied on me to look after their dogs, knowing I would care for them and spend quality time engaging in fun and brain stimulating exercises. I have also been a "Borrow my Doggy" volunteer since 2023. I am a keen observer of dog behaviour, as they have an amazing ability to communicate their needs in their own language! I enjoy long walks in the countryside, especially when shared with four legged buddies taking in all the new scents and their tails wagging. And yoga, sometimes the pooches join me on the mat with a pose or two. It brings me great pleasure to be a part of this amazing dog loving community!

Our puppy Ayla absolutely adores Alex. She brings a very calm, attentive energy when dog sitting our pup. Alex is very easy and trustworthy individual, could not be happier with the service she provides. Will continue to keep working with Alex.

Alex is brilliant and we loved how she looked after out Benji our Bernese Mountain Dog. We were kept informed about him and the routine that was maintained. We received daily updates as well as photos of him. We are at ease whilst we were away. We would most definitely recommend Alex to anybody who is looking for a dog sitter. And we are already looking to do our next booking with Alex.

Alex is such a lovely person and my dog was so happy and relaxed with her. Her communication was also great and she kept me well updated throughout the sit.

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.
