Pet care experience

the Mary 'Paw'ppins for Pets!

Im Alex! I am an Idaho native who grew up in Nampa. I found my love for animal welfare and animal well-being at a young age. I was always out tending the chickens or bottle-feeding the calves and on my 11th birthday, I got a scrappy terrier pup that I loved and cherished. This led me into applying at a vet clinic as a teenager and never left the field since. In my adulthood, Ive worked at shelters here in Idaho, running their medical program for spay and neuter clinics and working closely with behaviorists to learn the needs of our special dogs that needed more attention. I love the experience ive gained in this field for it has provided me with great knowledge in taking care of your family member, whether that be medical or behavioral or just love and affection! I do work work 730-330 during the week days in Meridian, and that schedule has allowed me to also fully commit to house sitting once my workday is over. I love going for neighborhood walks, having a cuddle buddy while I read, and sending lots of photos (sometimes too many)! of your pet being cute. Also, my prices are totally negotiable! Pet-sitting expenses shouldn't be the reason you don't take that vacation or go out of town for a family emergency. Reducing my prices does not reduce the love and care your pet will receive. Please do reach out, Id love to meet you and your family! Alex.

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!

Alex was amazing! She took the best of care of Misu and made accommodations for us as we were traveling in town and had some logistical issues. Highly recommend her for your most loved pups!

I do ask about any medical needs or behavioral quirks that your pet may have so that I am ready for the stay. I do also enjoy a print-out or a typed up document of your pets care and contact information and emergency vet clinics, so everyone is prepared for the unlikely event of an emergency.
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.
