I’ve been petsitting & dog walking with Rover for nearly two years now, and I love it! Because this is my primary business, I am able to provide top-quality care and a very flexible schedule. I’ve worked with all breeds and ages of dog (also cats, fish, turtles, chickens, rabbits, snakes, birds, and goats), given oral medication, and given subcutaneous insulin injections. I am comfortable staying at the pet’s house overnight and am not allergic to any animals or food. I can provide references of petsitting clients upon request. The largest families I’ve cared for have been 7 dogs, a cat, and a turtle for 10 days; as well as 10 cats and 2 dogs for 14 days. I have additional animal handling experience from working as a dog bather at PetSmart and as a veterinarian assistant at Soehnlen Veterinary Clinic. If you’re new to Rover, welcome! Please reach out if you have any questions about using the app :) Note about how Rover prices work: Each sitter sets their own rates and Rover takes 20% of the total, as well as service fees. Therefore, your total will be (nightly price x number of nights you’ll be gone) + service fees. The sitter receives 80% of (nightly price x number of nights you’re gone). (Ex. I keep $66 of each night worked.) A little about me :) I go by Alex and I love gardening, reading, and playing D&D with friends. I’d like to go back to school someday to become a librarian! My family has had our 7 year old Mini Schnauzer, Barkley, since he was a puppy. I walk Barkley most days and sometimes take him on car rides and to the dog park. I can walk your dog, take them to the park, or just play at home :)
