Avid animal lover!
Pet care experience
My name is Alex, I am a 28 year old environmental science graduate with a concentration in wildlife management. I spoil all animals with love and affection, more than the average person. If there is a cat or dog at a party, you’ll know where to find me. I prefer the company of animals over people so I’m the perfect person to watch your pets! I have watched many animals in the past ranging from cats, dogs, lizards, and rodents. I used to work at the Animal Care Center of NYC and am a past intern at the Staten Island zoo so there isn’t a mess too big that I can’t handle. I can administer medicine and exercise your dogs at your request. I can do basic training for basic commands and follow any training routine you already have set. Your pets will be treated as my own and I will take extra care of them if they get sick or if there is an emergency. I have stayed several hours past my original booking time to care for animals that become sick suddenly. My services go beyond what is available on Rover so if you have any additional requests regarding your pet feel free to ask! Please note that if you would like me to do drop in visits several times per day, that is individual walks/visits and not one days worth of dog sitting. I need to travel to your home and back several times a day. My availability changes frequently so let me know the dates you need and I’ll do my best to make myself available!

About Alexandria E.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I ask a lot of questions about your pets habits so I know what to look out for when I’m caring for them. I am alert and attentive when walking dogs and have had to wrestle food out of their moths before. Your pets safety is my top priority.
Information Alexandria E. would like to know about your pet
I need to know if they have a tendency to bite and how they are with other dogs if I take them on walks/runs. I will need to know if they are currently sick and contagious so I make sure they don’t interact with other animals and if there are any medical conditions I need to be aware of. I prefer big dogs because they love to play rough but I enjoy small dogs too. I also need to know your primary vet in case of an emergency and if I have permission to make the decision to take them to a vet at any hour if I cannot reach you.
A typical day
I can run with high energy dogs if requested and if they are good on a leash. If you have them trained to run with a bike I can also do that! I can play with them if you provide toys. Litter boxes will be cleaned routinely. I can take care of any fish, rodents, or reptiles you have as well!

Alexandria can watch in your home
Availability
I have limited availability for all forms of dog walking and pet sitting. I work full time with the Parks Department so I schedule all my bookings around each other and my work schedule so requests will need to be flexible with the timing in which I care for your pets. I’m currently unavailable for walks between the hours of 6:30am-7:00pm M-F until mid November so services would have to be outside of those times.
