Pet care experience

I’ve owned and cared for pets in my home since I was a child, and simply cannot imagine life without them! I currently own two dorky siamese cats, Hazelnut and Pistachio. I also spend a lot of time hiking & exploring the riverfront trails with my partner and his pitbull/boxer mix, Rita. As a young professional working downtown for an environmental nonprofit, I have a flexible schedule which includes remote days, making visits during the week viable for me. I am very responsible, and am often trusted to pet sit for family, friends, and neighbors, many of which are photographed in my profile! I am comfortable with all types of animal personalities, behaviors, and sizes. Experienced with providing medical care (pills, IV, shots, topical creams, injury care). Available now and ready to meet the needs of your furry companion!

This is the second time we’ve booked Alyx in two months. She’s great at interacting with Ali and also captures great photos of her!

So nice to have Alyx look after our cats. She is one of the few people they have warmed up to. Also Alyx is a very good pet photographer 😻.

Alyx did a great job checking on the kittens. She is very responsive and even came by to meet the cats prior to the visit! She took some great photos of the cats during the checkin. I highly recommend using Alyx for your petcare needs.

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.
