Safety, trust & environment

I will do my best to minimize disruptions to your pet's schedule and make sure they still recieve the love and attention they need. Walk, meal, and treat times will be met on schedule. I will play with your pets with any toys provided, along with giving ear scritches, belly rubs, or any other attention or space your pet prefers. Let me know of any training your pet might be learning so that I can use proper commands to avoid confusion in your pet. Available for both short and long walks. For longer stays, I also have experience in caring for both indoor and outdoor plants.

Information Alexander J. would like to know about your pet

Let me know of any special needs, dietary requirements, medications, grooming requirements, or ongoing behavior training I need to know about. Information on what they have for meals and treats, what times they are used to eating, walking, playing, going to the bathroom, and any other details relevant to your pet would be appreciated. If there is an ongoing medical condition, let me know what needs to be monitored, documented, or if there are any updates you would need me to provide you. Name and location of their vet, along with any potential local emergency contacts you would like me to contact as well if necessary.

A typical day

I love taking dogs on walks, playing with them, giving treats for good behavior, and showering them with pets, love, and attention. While I also enjoy petting and playing with cats, I respect the fact that not every cat wants me in their space and will do my best to stay out of their bubble if that is the case. While your pet will still have my full attention while playing, I will do my best to also get some pictures of happy pets to send your way.

Alexander J. has Star Sitter status

The Star Sitter program highlights responsive sitters who deliver highly rated care and have a history of listing accurate availability and preferences, making it easier for pet parents to find the best care for their pets.

No pet is too big or small.

Pet care experience

I grew up around dogs, all of which were mixed medium to large breeds adopted from local shelters. As a teenager, I would walk, bathe, and watch dogs from as small as a chihuahua to as large as a great dane. As an adult, I expanded to watching pets in their own home as well. Have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages, including puppies and senior dogs. I also have experience watching cats as well, and am quick to learn when they want attention and when they prefer to be given their space.

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.
