Furrfect Dog Friendly Family Home!

Pet care experience

While you're away, your dog is guaranteed the "furrfect" stay! A little bit about me: I was a sitter on Rover 4 years ago while living at home and attending college at GMU and before moving to Richmond, VA for my job as a Clinical Allergy Specialist. Around August 2020 I decided to move back home and continue my education and I am now currently attending George Washington University. I live at home with my dad, little sister (16), and nanny! I am a lover of ALL animals, especially dogs! I never really grew up with pets but over the years, I have received countless experience by dog sitting a number of dogs on Rover, family friends, and neighbors dogs (both at my home or theirs) tending to whatever their specific needs require and showering them with the love and attention they deserve. Three years ago my oldest sister, who lived at home at the time, got her first dog, Juniper. Juniper is an absolute angel and my whole family loves her to pieces...seriously she is spoiled with love!! However, my sister no longer lives at home and my family misses having dogs around. If your dog is like me and loves being outside and active, my fenced in backyard is a great place to run around. If your dog enjoys cuddles and belly rubs, they are welcome to snuggle up next to us on the sofa or bed. If your dog likes roaming around and exploring, all bedrooms are kept tidy for them to do so and the back deck is available for some fresh air. If your outgoing dog is looking to make some friends, my large neighborhood is filled with plenty of friendly dogs they can bark hi to on our long (or short) walks! Because I live with my family, your dog is guaranteed to always have company during their stay! I am flexible with with my everyday routine in order to give your dog the furrfect temporary home!

We couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch our dog Harley. Alexa was perfect in every way! She sent us so many great pictures of Harley having fun. We would love to use Alexa again in the future.

From the first time Arianna and I met Alexa, I already knew she was a MATCH! Over a short period of time, Arianna instantly was captured by her sincere natured heart. When God gives you a gift, it shines right b4 u and we are so happy God chose Alexa to have her care for Arianna while we were away. She provided daily updates along with pictures as if I was right there. Alexa is a rockstar! I would highly recommend Alexa for any service she endorses. I trust her and trust is hard to come by nowadays! If I travel away again, I will definitely reach out and hope that she is available. Thank you Rover! XO

Alexa took Maggie short notice and made sure to send updates and really take good care of her! Much appreciated! So sorry about the mailbox!

I have two cocker spaniels. Love them to death but they always bark and even nip at strangers. When they first met Alexa they reacted extremely calm as if they had been familiar with her. When I left my dogs with her for a weekend I was hesitant but they behaved very well and were not that eager to leave with us when we picked them up. I trust Alexa and she is naturally good with dogs.

Information Alexa B. would like to know about your pet

Big or small, golden or patchy, I love all types of dogs, but in order for me to make sure your dog has the furrfect stay, before sitting your dog, I would like to know their basic needs. -What time does he or she go on walks or to the bathroom? -What is their favorite activities or games to play? -When do they need to be fed and how many times during the day? -What "human food" can they (or should they not) eat (if any)? ex. carrots -Do they have any specific health needs or concerns I should be aware of? -I allow dogs to sit next to me on the furniture, unless they trained not to sit on the couch or bed? -Do they like to chew on anything? ex. shoes, pillows

A typical day

My neighborhood is large with lots of places to go on walks, not to mention, it is super dog friendly! My fenced in, spacious backyard is also another great place where your dog can be outdoors, run around, play fetch, tug-a-war, or even frisbee toss!
