Information Alexis W. would like to know about your pet

Let me know the special-needs, quirks and personality of your pet: each dog, no matter the breed, sex, and age is very unique and different.

A typical day

For dogs who love affection, I love to give them belly, rubs, and massages. For those who do not like physical contact, I gently make my presence known by being nearby and checking on them. I like to give animals quality time, outdoors, and indoor playtime!

Alexis took wonderful care of Cooper while I was away! She kept me updated with photos and videos throughout his stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that Cooper was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. When I returned, my apartment was just as neat and clean as I had left it, which I really appreciated. Alexis was reliable, communicative, and treated both Cooper and my home with great care. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy pet sitter, and I would gladly book with her again!

Alexis was a fantastic sitter. She was very attentive to our pups. One requires meds in her food twice a day and was well taken care of. She stayed with them and kept them comfortable with their separation anxiety from us and played in the yard every day. The house was clean and well maintained when we arrived home. I would highly recommend Alexis, she truly cares about animals and was a great house guest as well

Alexis did a wonderful job looking after my energetic, large dog while I was away. She sent many photos and updates and took wonderful care of my pup and home. Would definitely hire again and recommend to anyone

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.
