I currently don't have space to board but I'm happy to care for dogs in their own home and take them for walks or hikes.

Information Alexandra R. would like to know about your pet

I've fostered aggressive and behaviorally and socially challenged dogs. Anything I can know about in advance to make my time with the dog comfortable and productive is encouraged. Any special needs or extra patience is fine.

A typical day

I love to play to dog's wants and routines. We will play a lot, run around, and take plenty of walks to spend our energy.

Happy to spread some doggie love!

Pet care experience

I grew up with dogs and fostered sick and behavior needs dogs (and 2 cats) in home for three years. I've trained and cared for puppies and older dogs. I love interacting with dogs and getting them outdoors for fun and exercise.

Super professional and knowledgable - handled our quirky (initially untrusting and moderately reactive) dog with ease! Great communication and left our house cleaner than it was when we left. Would highly recommend and absolutely use again!

Alex is great with our girl floozie - would recommend her to anyone who needs an overnight sitter. Super communicative and reliable. We always come home to a clean home and happy pup.

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.
