Safety, trust & environment

I always walk your dogs on leashes to ensure their safety on their walks/potty breaks when they need to go outside if a fenced yard is not available. When fences are available I watch them to ensure their safety. I am also very cautious around doors so there are no escapees.

Information Alexandra W. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if any special needs care is needed for your animals, let me know of their typical behaviors, and let me know about anything else you would like me to keep a eye on or take note of.

A typical day

Depending on what the owner wants, I can take the dogs for long walks, take them to a lake or dog park, play fetch or tug-of-war, help with any training or even just being a couch potato.

Skilled Aspiring Vet Student

Pet care experience

I've had dogs all my life of every size, color and personality. Each one has brought happiness in my life. I worked as a Veterinary Assistant part-time for almost 6 years, so I have plenty of experience with all types of dogs and cats. Additionally I worked at The Equine Reproduction Laboratory at Colorado State University, so I have lots of experiences with horses as well. I'm more than willing to help with any pet that may have special needs; I know how to administer medicine, if needed. I currently have an A.S. in Animal Science, a B.S. in Animal Science, a B.S. in Equine Science, a B.S. in Zoology, and an M.S. in Biomedical Sciences. I am working full-time currently, so early mornings and/or evenings work best with my schedule for weekday visits, and I'm completely flexible on times on weekends and holidays. I also know how to care for other animals you may have as well such as, cats, fish, birds, rodents, livestock, and horses. I'm observant, caring, outgoing and, have a high work ethic. I want to provide the best care possible for your beloved pets.

Absolutely so comforting to have Alex checking on our sweet cat while we are away. We just don’t worry about a thing. She’s very dependable and Simon loves her too. She’s terrific!

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.
