Information Alex W. would like to know about your pet

Please inform me of any notable behaviors I need to be aware of and what I can expect from your dog or cat in those situations. My aim is to make your dog or cat feel at ease while you're away. The little details are the most important to me.

A typical day

I love to mix it up and keep my furry friends stimulated with new smells and sights. On walks we may walk through the neighborhood, the park, the beach, or visit their favorite spot. At home we either play with their favorite toys or I can bring in new ones. I always give them lots of love and attention... whatever they're in the mood for!

Dog/Cat Pro! (w/ special cat rates)

Pet care experience

*For cat rates please see the "Additional Rates" section. (Cat boarding also available if your cat is cat-friendly - I have a 13 yr old male cat) I've done extensive volunteer work w/ dogs, and cats (and wildlife) in need in the U.S., throughout Southeast Asia and in Romania (with dogs coming from war zones in Ukraine). Needless to say, I am passionate about animals and their wellbeing. I particularly love how the relationships we have with animals develop - how our interactions with them become more and more nuanced as you connect, just like human relationships. I have years of experience fostering dogs and cats in many different circumstances. I'm great with seniors, juniors, high and low energy, and special needs animals as well. I'm especially good at giving medication to squirmy cats! My goal as your pet care-giver is to always make your animal(s) feel comfortable with me. I take a customized approach, interacting with them based on their individual personalities and needs, as well as the routines they are used to. I also take the time to understand and follow through with any requests you may have for their care. I communicate regularly and clearly with my clients and am flexible in responding to changing needs.

Alex is seriously amazing!! The time she took to get to know our Casper and the way he’s gotten so comfortable with her in such a short period of time is nothing short of incredible. Would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.

Alex exceeded our expectations of what we could expect in a rover. She took amazing care of our 2 cats. I will definitely be reaching out to have her watch our cats again. Highly highly recommend her services.

Alex is always amazing with our cats. We can travel confidently knowing they are safe and happy with her. Alex takes so much care to spend time with them, look after them, and make sure they are happy and healthy throughout. Recommend always!

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.
