Pet care experience

I only accept dogs that have had a meet and greet for the safety of your dogs and mine.This allows me to ensure that you pet will feel safe entering a new space and that you have confidence in knowing I am the right sitter for you. All kinds of animals have been drawn to me my whole life. I can't imagine my life without dogs. They contribute so much to my life. I have cared for puppies, seniors and even special needs. I am home 24/7 ensuring your babies will have plenty of company and snuggle time. My fur babies are my family and while yours stay with us they will be too. My home is as much for their comfort as it is mine. Some boarders will kennel dogs during their stay. The only time I kennel a dog is for a short period while I do a meet and greet. I do separate dogs during meals My home is double gated to assure no pups slip out. I have a series of child gates in my house and kennels to separate during feeding. I have been doing Rover sitting for 2 years. How did I get so lucky to do something that brings me such joy? This experience has not only built my dogs' confidence but has also allowed me to hone my skills in dog care and training.

Alex has watched / cared for our Brucey a few times now and each time Brucey always has the best experience. We love all the pictures of our boy while we are away missing him.

Alex is a pro! From the start, it was good energy...she responded quickly to my inquiry and communication was very clear and reassuring. Several acquaintances suggested Rover but I was a bit apprehensive of leaving my pup with a complete stranger. Unfortunately, the one-off 'bad' experiences make the headlines and not enough of the good stories are circulated. I did my share of research and vetting on Rover.com and I have to pat myself on the back because I couldn't have made a better choice. Alex was warm and was great at making me feel comfortable about leaving Quesadilla with her. She sent me a plethora of daily photos & updates. She treated her as part of the family and one of her own. I am just thrilled to have met Alex and look forward to the next time that Quesadilla can reunite with her 'cousins'!

Alex was a wonderful host for Buddy and Khusi. Got photos everyday and her house is super clean. Both the kiddos were taken care of immaculately.

Absolutely amazing! I've used To er several times when we're visiting an area away from home and this was, by far, the best experience. I received photos throughout her stay. House was immaculate with no bad smells or messes (unlike many of the sitters I've been to). Thanks a great bunch of doggy kisses!

I have 2 fur babies to keep your dog company. My yard is securely fenced. (I am double gated) I am skilled at giving medications if needed. I will be delighted to treat your dear ones with adoration and love that I have for my own. My home is 4 miles from a 24-hour emergency vet. I will watch multiple dogs from different families only if I know the dogs well. I will also care for multiple dogs from the same family. My settings show dogs up to 40 pounds. If your larger dog is really gentle and chill feel free to reach out.

Information Alex V. would like to know about your pet

Please tell me about your dogs diet & schedule. Any medications. Do they sleep in their own bed or with their human or crate trained? I always request an extra day of food because flight cancellations, traffic jams and other stuff can happen. If you bring dog toys I can't guarantee they will be returned in the same condition. I have plenty of toys.

A typical day

I have a very energetic 6 pound, 4 year old Chihuahua that hopes your dog will play with her. I also have 16 year old, 12 pound Chiweenie who sometimes plays. Dogs are allowed on furniture and in bed here and my pups and I look forward to snuggle time. My home is double gated to safeguard "door dashers". My backyard is secure and I allow access to it any time. Plenty of time to frolic and play. I make sure that no one gets overheated playing to hard.
