Dog researcher/future vet

Pet care experience

Hello! I'm Alex, and I'm currently pursuing a DVM/PhD in comparative behavior and genetics in dogs and humans. Dogs are a huge passion of mine (though I love cats too!), and I've been dog (and cat) sitting regularly since 2017. I have experience with a wide variety of pets, including puppies, seniors, rescues, purebreds, and anxious or high-energy dogs or those with behavioral problems. Because I work partially from home, I can offer a flexible schedule and attentive care. I always aim to make pets feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while keeping owners updated and informed. Please let me know if you have any questions before I care for your pet. Thank you for considering!

Alexandra took good care of our cat while we were away! We loved seeing the photos, especially the ones of our cat cuddled up and getting lots of love. :) We would love to have her pet sit again!

Alex was so great with our two pups ! She spent so much time with their walks , made sure medications were given as needed, and was very easy to communicate with . I will definitely be using her for our future pup needs . 💕

Alex did drop in visits and walks for our pets while we had to take a quick trip out of town. She was wonderful. You could tell they were all well taken care of! She sent photos / updates. Highly recommend her to watch your fur babies!

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.
