Information Alexandra L. would like to know about your pet

Please know that I have backyard chickens so if your dog is very prey-driven, please let me know. All of my dogs are 11+ years and shelter rescues with special needs. They get along with everyone and are very kept to themselves.

A typical day

I enjoy walks around the neighborhood. There's an incredible space with grass that my personal dogs enjoy playing in. There's plenty of trees, shrubs, and long, greenbelt-like, trails to walk on! I enjoy going to the greenbelt and/or Fort Boise dog park. It's incredible watching the view of downtown Boise with a furry friend! I also enjoy Amity dog park very much! It's well maintained, clean, and always has well behaved dogs there! Walking dogs is an adventure for both of us!

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Alexandra. -8 years veterinary nursing experience -4 years behavioral training with Idaho Animal Shelters -Geriatrics have my heart! I spent my childhood taking care of the animals on the farm and the dogs inside of the house. I was a veterinary technician at the local animal shelter here in Idaho and advocate for animal welfare and spay and neuter surgeries. I then spent a few years running the shelter medicine program in McCall, Idaho. I spend my free time happily petting dogs at the shelter or going to the dog park.. Animals, mostly dogs, have become my passion and I find great joy in taking care of all dog breeds. This side job at rover will help my experience and keep me happy in life. I am free most days and can work with any scheduling issues. I am kind, hardworking, and loving. I always have the pets' best interest in mind. I decided to step back from working with animals and pursue college- meaning I am home all day studying and providing time for my own animals as well as yours ! Another TidBit- I worked closely with dogs with behavioral issues and am open to learning and getting to know the pups that may need some extra work in trusting people. If my prices for my services are too high, let me know, I can be negotiable!

Alexandra is the best pet and house sitter we could ever ask for. She leaves our home in better condition than we left it every time she is here. She is punctual and so attentive to our animals needs. She consistently updates me without being asked to do so. She leaves the sweetest notes and makes us feel so comfortable having her in our home.

this was our second time having Alex pet sit for us and she did a fantastic job just like the first time. She sent pictures, kept us up to date and provided great peace of mind for us while we were on vacation. Highly recommend Alex!
