TLDR: We will never use Alex again and strongly recommend for nobody to use his services. We have video evidence that he negligently left our dog alone for almost a full day at a time, thus breaking our entire house sitting agreement, and gave such poor care we came home to our dog experiencing severe diarrhea/constipation. My husband and I were leaving town for the holidays and, needing a sitter for our house and single geriatric/relaxed dog, we found Alex. Although he had only 5 reviews at the time with one that was very negative, we continued with booking Alex for house sitting from 12/24/22 to 1/1/23. We hired him for full house sitting with dog sitting, to include staying overnight at our house with twice daily morning and night feeding/letting out. He communicated with as as though he completed this as agreed. Unfortunately our Ring camera proved that he: - did not stay overnight even once - did not show up at all in many of the mornings (leaving the night before at 7:30pm, showing up the following day at 4:30pm) - left our dog alone without lights or sound (as we agreed to)for up to 22 hours at a time (as described above) before returning - spent an average of 15-20 min at any one time with our dog - lied about the frequency at which our dog had episodes of diarrhea and vomit (of a mysteriously unknown cause) inside the house in his absence - didn’t bother to stay with our dog after knowing she had diarrhea and vomiting, instead electing to leave her alone again for another 20 hours by herself Upon our return, the house reeked of diarrhea and vomit in multiple rooms after poor attempts to clean the evidence. That first night, our dog woke us up three times during the night to urgently bring her outside for her to release her diarrhea. We will be reporting Alex’s negligence to Rover. We are not seeking reimbursement, but are looking for a formal review of Alex’s ability to participate on this website. His neglect for our dog, indifference for our dog’s well-being, and complete disregard for our contract resulted in what we believe was a completely avoidable illness and extreme stress for our dog. We will never allow Daisy to be cared for my Alex again and caution anyone contemplating his services.

Cadenza had a very comfortable stay with Alex. I would definitely use his services again! He was also very accommodating when I needed to extend my stay one extra night. Thank you, Alex!
