Safety, trust & environment

When sitting i like to be in the client's home as much as I can, or to take the doggies with me on my daily walks if possible. My sitting rate is equivalent to about three walks, if you'd like someone to stay overnight to keep them company then this is a good option.

Potty breaks every 0-2 hours

Information Alexander G. would like to know about your pet

I need to know if they're generally a flight risk or any behaviors that might impact the stay but usually everything just goes smoothly. It sure helps if they get along with Ruby.

A typical day

I'm generally happy to do whatever you and your dog do together normally. Ideally you have a fenced yard where your dog and Ruby can wrestle and really exhaust some energy, but we're also good with mellow senior dogs hanging out and plain old walks around the neighborhood.

Pet care experience

I love animals and this is the best job in the world. My dog Ruby accompanies me, she's a fun girl! We travel by foot and by bus so we're restricted to the St Johns neighborhood of Portland, and all times need to be a bit flexible.

Alex is absolutely the best! We have trusted him, and continue to trust him, with Dasher since he was born! And he is 8 now … ☺️

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.
