Lifelong animal lover and RN
Pet care experience
I have lived with a variety of animals my whole life and have years of experience personally caring for them, especially dogs and cats. I have also used animals in therapeutic medical environments with children and adults, and have seen first-hand what profound impacts these incredible creatures can have on human development, as well as enhancing social support and connection. I strongly believe in giving our animals the best and happiest lives, and being personally involved with this process gives me great fulfillment. I am very comfortable with all forms of medication administration, as I'm an RN by trade, but working via Rover for my love of animals. In addition, I can also offer some positive positive reinforcement techniques for heeling on the lease, sitting/staying and other basic training skills.
Reviews
I’ve lived with Alex for a couple of years where we fostered and then adopted a blue heeler, Kili, together. She was the best mom to Kili ever. Kili was always top priority and got so much love (maybe more than she wanted at first 😉) Alex is such a dog person and is so good with them. After finding our own places she’s watched my dog Cassidy a couple of times. Cassidy loved hanging out with aunty Alex and going on so many hikes and walks, even bike rides! The visible joy you can feel radiating from Alex when she’s around dogs is truly adorable.
I have never seen my dog fall in love with a human being faster than he did with Alex. She took care of our pup for one and a half week this June and I could never have asked for a better dog sitter. She has a genuine love for all dogs and has a natural talent for gaining their trust and affection. She was also serious about sticking to the guidelines we gave her in terms of food, behaviour, etc. and kept us updated with pictures of their adventures. We came home to a very happy dog and I can't recommend her highly enough!
