Safety, trust & environment

By caring for your pet in your home, I hope to minimize the stress and the anxiety they may feel due to your absence. At the moment, I can board cats in my home. I have 2 social enough cats of my own and a room that I can close off to keep fully separated as needed.

Information Alex T. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if there are any special behaviors or personality traits I need to account for. My family's dog is dog-reactive so I have some experience handling nervous/on edge dogs.

A typical day

I love to explore the area I'm in so I'd love to take your dog for a long walk and see the neighborhood. I'm happy to play any games with your cats/dogs that they might like!

Pet care experience

I’ve loved animals since I was a little kid. I’ve lived with multiple dogs and I have a pair of barn cats, Roland and Edith. I’m comfortable with all animals. I’m a second year PhD student at UW studying nutrition and endocrinology. I’m pretty busy during the week but I’m free every weekend and week day mornings/nights to stop in and take care of your furry friend! I love all animals and respect their individuality. I will do my absolute best to accommodate all of their needs and keep them happy while you’re away. A happy pet is a healthy pet! My former cat, Zoey, received an oral medication every night. I can administer any injectable or liquid medication easily and love the challenge of pilling! I also medicate as part of my work, so I am very comfortable administering medications. I don't have a ton of experience with senior or special needs dogs but I am more than able to learn so that I can offer the best possible experience for your pet. have extensive experience with fish and exposure to reptiles, if you need help with your scaly friend, just let me know!

Alex was great and took wonderful care of my K9 child. He was great about communicating and providing photos during check-ins etc. I would highly recommend Alex as a trustworthy, professional pet sitter to take care of your fur babies while you’re away. Will book him again!

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.
