Information Alexandra H. would like to know about your pet

In order to provide the best possible care, please let me know: - Feeding and Bathroom routines - Favorite (and least favorite) toys - If your pet experiences any anxiety and how I can support them - Any rules they have in their home and of course - Your favorite thing about them!

A typical day

I believe that, as a caregiver, it is my responsibility to accommodate my life to their needs. From puppies needing multiple "business breaks", to dogs on a strict walking routine, my goal is to fit into the schedule you specify and already have! Each boarding and daycare dog is offered a complementary dental chew and human-grade treats if none are provided.

UnLEASHing quality care 💞🦮

Pet care experience

I've been caring for many different kinds of animals for nearly 22 years and been caring for pets on Rover for 3! My parents raised show dogs, my grandparents had livestock and horses, and of course every kind of pet under the sun (lizards and guinea pigs included!) My goal is to provide the same top quality love and attention that you do, no matter the service or time of day!

Ali is wonderful! She walks my dog, Lettie, during my long workdays and has been incredibly helpful and flexible with my schedule. Her communication is fantastic, and she’s even been helping reinforce Lettie’s ongoing training. Lettie loves her, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive dog walker.

Alexandra was very communicative, sent me pictures and updates everyday! Came back to a healthy cat at the end of 7 days, would definitely book again.

Alexandra continues to be my (and my cat’s) favorite sitter. She does great with meds, wet food, and all the needs of my older cat.

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.
