Lifelong dog & cat lover, athlete
Pet care experience
I've had dogs in my life since I was born, learning how to respect, walk, care for, and feed them throughout my youth and young adulthood. Growing up, I ran a successful cat-sitting business in my neighborhood, providing as much or as little interaction with resident cats as they preferred. My family's dogs typically live in the 12+ year range, so I know how to slow down and gently care for senior animals. That being said, I also love a high-energy pup-- I grew up with terriers, after all! I'm an athlete, so long walks or spicing things up with a little run or outdoor play is right in my wheelhouse. :) I have a cat who lives in my house, who I delight in providing good enrichment, food, and play time for. Additionally, I volunteer at animal shelters in my spare time, because I believe all animals deserve care, compassion. and love.
Reviews
Alex is the best cat sitter I can find, she took care of my Maine coons well!
Alex is always great with Leroy! We appreciate Alex’s commitment to working with him as he grows up and learns puppy manners!
Alex is my go-to Rover for a reason. She has always been very accommodating towards my requests and my cat loves her. Highly recommend booking with Alex!
Alex is very responsive and has taken good care of my cats. She played with my cats so both of them don’t feel too lonely when I am away. I would definitely go with Alex again if I need to find a cat sitters in the future!

Safety, trust & environment
I've had dogs with needs that spanned a wide spectrum: dogs with high energy, dogs who snuggle, dogs who are more treat oriented, etc. I have experience giving medicine to both dogs and cats (fun times!) and am happy to provide that for your pets if needed. As a cat owner, I'm comfortable with daily litter box cleans and accustomed to picking up poop while walking my family's dogs too.

Availability
I currently work remotely and cherish the flexibility of my job. I love being able to take long walks outside to think, and it's easy for me to take time in the mornings, evenings, or at lunch to see a furry friend.
