I work a full time remote job, with easy morning and evening walking times. The afternoon tends to be a bit busier for me so I may not be able to take an extended break but can make sure your pup has plenty of bathroom breaks and long walks.

Information Alex V. would like to know about your pet

I tend to like walking and hanging out with mid sized to larger dogs. They can be good running buddies and often have a great temperament.

A typical day

I love hikes and walks on the prom or at mackworth. I'm very happy to just play a game of fetch if that what's your dog is into.

Pet care experience

I grew up with dogs and I miss the pure joy they have for this world. I can't own one with my current situation, but would love to look after yours. I'm a working professional who is kind and courteous. If you want me to know anything ask, feel free to ask! -Alex

Alex is great with my 75lb dog and a good person.

I typically don't write reviews and I've had multiple Rover sitters take care of my pup the past 2 years. Alex not only took care of my pup, but went above and beyond with hikes, runs, and adventures. Mason was dead tired after I would come back from all the fun! Alex is kind, respectful, responsible, and a A+ sitter. Couldn't recommend him enough!

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.
