Information Alexia S. would like to know about your pet

I like to know the dogs daily routine. What time do they eat? Do they go outside the same time every day or is it sporadic? Anything odd that may startle the dog that I should know about? What calms the dog when they are feeling stressed?

A typical day

The most enjoyable thing I find is to play with the dog in a park close to home or take them for a run/walk around the block. The more comfortable and safe they feel the more fun they can have.

Pet care experience

I am originally from Sioux Falls, SD and just moved back to the Midwest after just over 8.5 years in California. I grew up with a house full of cats and dogs. I moved to California in 2015 and have been house sitting and checking in on friends and coworkers pets since which includes cats, dogs and reptiles. This includes walking, bathing and feeding and the ages ranged from puppy to full grown. I also nannied for a neighbor during 2020 in lieu of her finding a boarder when she had to go back to working in office. I am super outdoorsy and have taken pets to the river or even kayaking. I grew up riding horses and helping around the farm. I love animals and any excuse to take care of them.

This was our first Rover and would definitely use Alexia again. Both dogs were happy to meet her and we returned to two very content dogs. The reports and photos are reassuring the dogs were happy and being taken care of.👍👍

This is the second time Alexia has stayed at our home and watched our 2 dogs. 100% satisfied again!!! House is spotless, lots of pics sent to us everyday and my outdoor flowers look great. It is so nice to go away and not worry about our house or dogs! Thank you Alexia!!

I’ve left several reviews before so this time I’m just going to say Alexia is the absolute best. I’ve never felt as comfortable with a pet sitter as I do with her. Highly recommended!

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.
