Pet care experience

Your dog is in good hands

Dog walking isn't just a hobby or a side-hustle for me. It's a full-time job that, as an animal lover, I am passionate about and take very seriously. I've been dog-walking and sitting full-time since early 2017, but I've worked with dogs for much longer than that. In the 5 years prior to joining the Rover team, I spent nearly every weekend volunteering my time at a local animal shelter (Anderson Animal Shelter in South Elgin, IL), where I got to care for dogs who lacked homes and engage them in physical activity. It was very rewarding work and it was one of the things that led me to become a Rover pet-care provider. I have experience working with dogs of all sizes, personalities, and energy levels so I don't discriminate. If your dog is full of energy, I will make sure he/she gets plenty of exercise. If your dog has special needs, those can be accommodated as well. So if you need someone to walk or look after your furry friend, feel free to contact me and I will respond within minutes.

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog's safety is always my priority. I will always keep your dog(s) leashed on walks, unless you specifically tell me off-leash walks are ok. I carry pepper spray with me to protect your dog and myself from potential attacks by other dogs/coyotes/etc.

Alex is such a fantastic sitter for us! We always use him when we go out of town and our pups are wonderfully cared for! He communicates well about what is going on and how our 3 dogs are doing, he is always on time and frequently goes above and beyond to make sure our fur family is comfortable and happy!

Alex did an absolutely wonderful job with Roscoe and was able to go above and beyond for me and the misses when our flight got delayed. Highly recommend him for any dog watching needs.

Alexander did a fantastic job taking care of our 3 pups. He was timely every day, made sure they all had walks and plenty of attention, and left our home well taken care of as well. We got regular and thorough updates on what happened every day of his stay and plenty of pictures. We will definitely look forward to rebooking Alexander.

I have a questionnaire that I provide to every client at meet-and-greets which clients can use to provide me with any information they feel I should have, such as feeding schedules, their veterinarian's phone number, their dog's medical conditions (if any), any special needs their dogs may have, etc., in order to provide the best care I possibly can. I have no breed preferences. I care for dogs of all shapes and sizes.
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.
