Experienced and Caring Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

Hi there! My name’s Alexandra, I'm a postgraduate in biology. I currently work at a farm and I’m pursuing a career in Sonography. I’ve always had a strong love for animals and have cared for many types of animals throughout my life. I currently have a cat, Artemis, who I’ve had for 5 years and a gecko, Flaco, who I’ve had for 4 years. As well as being a pet owner, I have experience through Rover as well as volunteer work at a kennel. I’m very passionate about animals and their care and I believe that they deserve our utmost love, time, and attention.

Alexandra did a wonderful job watching our pups Tobey & Leah. This was the first time using Rover, let alone leaving them, and she took the time to make our family feel comfortable throughout the entire process. It’s important to note that one of our pups has epilepsy and experienced both a small seizure and high anxiety due to fireworks. Alexandra did not skip a beat in her care of him and sent timely updates. I highly recommend her and hope to have our pups stay with her again!

There has never been a bigger dog/animal lover than Alexandra. I have watched her over the years (and I have known her since she was 7) and one of the things she greatly values in her life are animals. She is very well versed in the care of dogs and has been taking care of her own dog for many years. She is loving and completely responsible and I would highly highly recommend her for a dog sitter job. She will be one of your best employees.

I've been dating Alex for almost a year, and I can confidently say this will be the best thing for both her and the animals. She wanted to find a job that allowed her to contribute to the wellbeing of her peers and leave a positive mark on their lives. She is incredibly gentle with animals, and her desire to be a nurse is a perfect example of her passion for caring for others. She is responsible and organized and would be an amazing fit for the job.
