Happy dog, happy life!

Pet care experience

I am a second grade teacher in Philadelphia who loves caring for pets. I've had dogs, and cared for them for over ten years. I currently have a little rescue Chihuahua who has left the biggest paw-shaped hole in my heart. I am very well experienced in pet care, and ensuring that the needs of the pets come first. In the past, my clients were generally neighbors in my old hometown who would rely on me to come to their home and take their dogs out for a walk when they're at work, or do home visits while away on vacation. I have also done some dog walking/ sitting all around the great city of Chicago! I have experience with dogs as little as teacup Yorkie's, to as big as Great Danes. I understand that safety, patience and playfulness are three very important components when it comes to pet care and I will ensure that my work exceeds all expectations.

Alex is a coworker of mine whom I have relied on many times to watch my 2 dogs while I was away on weekend trips. He cares for his pets and mine with just as much care and love as he does his students. At work, he is kind, gentle and extremely reliable which transfers into his dog sitting/walking. I highly recommend Alex.

We had a last min cancellation with another Rover Sitter and Alex was able to jump right in and save the weekend. Very pleased with the Rover Service and Alex. Alex was very professional and dependable even with a snow / sleet storm making the 4 trips to our house difficult. We will be using Alex again for all of our Dog Sitting Needs.

I have trusted Alex with my Golden Retriever for many years! He is trustworthy, is always on time, and even when he is unavailable he makes sure to be open his schedule for the next time I ask. I don't trust many people with my dog, but Alex is one of the few that I feel comfortable leaving him with for long periods of time! Thanks, Alex.

Alex has cared for my black lab for about 6 years. He was very flexible and never once had to cancel on me. He would walk my dog a couple of times a week while I was at work, and house sat every time I would go away on a trip. Alex is an extremely trustworthy and reliable pet sitter. I highly recommend to care for your furry friend.
