Pet care experience

I'm all about the fluff & stuff!

Hello, my name is Alexis R. and I've been around animals my entire life! I was raised in a small valley on a farm where the animals I would care for ranged from baby goats to outdoor cats to fostering rescue dogs. Growing up meant being around animals 24/7, and we all had responsibilities as kids to take part in caring for them and making sure they had the highest quality of life. My highest level of experience comes from taking care of all the rescue dogs we had come through our home. We valued every life and I know what its like to take care of all kinds of dog breeds and whatever ailments they may or may not have. On that note, I was a dog-sitter, dog-walker, and even farm-keeper for a few years in my home town as a young 15 year old, so I have experience stepping out of my own home and caring for other people's fur-babies. In short, I know my way around all that fluff-and-stuff and would love to continue this around my new home in Portland!

Alexis was on time if not a little early for the first meeting of familiarization which was appriciated. She was quite professional so everything that needed to be done was covered in a short period of time. Contact was kept during the in- between time before the actual dates so confusion was minimized. I recommend Alexis and her services and will call her again when the situation arises.

Hello, I am writing this in regards to Alexis R. and why she would make a great candidate/member of the Rover team. I would like to first start off with the fact that Alexis Rague has grown up her entire life with dogs (and pets). There has not been a day where she has not interacted with a dog in some way. Growing up, she usually had two dogs around her, sometimes three. She would always wake up in the morning and take them for walks, sometimes she would do it later in the evening after work, but she'd always make sure they go their exercise. She also knows when not to walk a dog. She can usually tell when they're tired or sore and then will judge accordingly on what walk to take them or to not take them for a walk at all so they don't get more injured. Aside from that, she is super friendly with all kinds of dogs. She grew up with so many different breeds that she has become comfortable with all types of breeds. She currently has a Corgi which she has raised since it was a puppy, and she takes care of her dog very well. When it comes to customer service, Alexis R. has been working in the catering, food and restaurant service for many years. She is accustomed to dealing with customers and making sure that the customer is taken care of, whether it's food service or just general inquiries from the guests. She was a sous chef which requires a lot of communication capability and she has proven she can communicate very well as she rose up the ranks to sous chef. What makes Alexis R. a great person is that she is very friendly to everyone around her. She knows her boundaries, can make fast decisions and is super fun to talk to. She's very helpful, especially when it comes to animals. She grew up on a farm, so she has a good work ethic. Overall, she's a very kind, responsible, hard-working individual who I think would be a very valuable addition to the Rover team.
