Availability

I currently work full-time remotely, so I would be available for your fur babies at all times. When caring for your pets, weather permitted, I stay outside as much as I can to ensure they get enough exercise. I go for a walk around 9am and at 7pm every day and would be happy to take your pups along!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large fenced in area with a large oak tree in the middle that squirrels love, and if your pup is like mine, then they will too! I would be able to crate your dogs as well if they need/like to be. I clean water dishes, toys, and blankets daily to keep allergies/germs down. I use hypoallergenic cleaning solutions and washing machine detergent as well to cut down on allergies. I also do not burn or have plugins that have scents that could be harmful to your pup (eucalyptus/cinnamon/tee tree/etc). If you need to break up payment or would like to discuss a lower price, just let me know! I’m here to help💚

Information Alixandra R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know ahead of time if your animals have any allergies, if they don’t like to be picked up or to be touched in certain areas (feet/ears/etc). Please let me know if they are possession aggressive or have fears that can lead to aggression.

A typical day

We love going on walks and to the dog park (with your consent). At the dog parks, I bring my own bowl and water and only allow them to drink out of that if I can. On walks, I don’t allow them to interact with other pups or allow them to walk in grass that isn’t maintained (so they don’t step on or eat anything they shouldn’t). I also provide lick mats/kongs/and treat puzzles to help stimulate their minds. I’m a distance runner, so I can take your pups for runs too! A tired pup is a happy pup!

Pet care experience

Hello, my name is Ali and my sidekick is Nika (she has retired and stays home with her dad now)! Together, we have fostered around 60 cats/kittens/puppies/dogs and are happy to extend care through Rover! I have been fortunate enough to provide care on Rover since 2019 and help over 90 families feel comfortable being away. I have experience working with animals of all ages, temperaments, health statuses, and needs. In high school, I worked at a grooming and boarding facility. In college, I volunteered at the SPCA of SW Michigan walking pups, fostering mamas and litters, and caring for animals that are highly reactive. I look forward to meeting you and yours!💚

Alix is the best! This was the second time she’s watched our 2 dogs and cat, and whether or not she was available was a determining factor if we were going to spend the night where we were going because when she watches our pets, we know we can genuinely enjoy ourselves knowing they’re in great hands. She’s great at communicating and sends constant photos for peace of mind.

Alix was fantastic when we were gone for 5 days in Denver! I would say our pups definitely made fast friends with her! We miss our pups a TON when we are gone, but Alix’s daily updates and pictures made it so much better! Fantastic Alix, thank you so much for everything!

Ali is wonderful in every way! She sends updates and photos frequently and has made me feel very at ease with leaving my fur babies in such capable hands. She is also very responsive and responsible. She left the house better than she found it.

Alixandra is an angel on earth. She took such good care of our guy. My mind was at ease with him in her care. The communication was outstanding and she treated our home with respect. What a blessing she is.

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.
