About: I have taken care of dogs from puppies to seniors my whole life. I love playing with them and treating them as my own you can never get enough of those puppy eyes. Each day begins with a morning routine that includes feeding, providing fresh water, and a brief health check to ensure the pets are in good condition. This is followed by exercise sessions, such as walks or playtime, tailored to each pet's energy level and requirements. Throughout the day, I allocate specific times for additional activities like grooming, training, or socialization, depending on the pet's needs. I also maintain a detailed schedule to track feeding times, medication administration if necessary, and any special instructions provided by the pet owners. Weekly routines include more thorough cleaning of living spaces, restocking supplies, and reviewing any changes in the pet's behavior or health that may require adjustments in care. By maintaining open communication with pet owners, I ensure that their expectations are met and that their pets receive the highest standard of care. This organized approach allows me to balance pet care responsibilities effectively within my overall schedule. Before sitting, I always have a long conversation with the owners to find out everything their furry pet needs. then I make sure they have exercise or good food medication’s if needed if crate training is needed as well and more.

About: Please message me to discuss discounts for long stays & multiple pets! Hello! My name’s Lexi, I’ve loved animals of all kinds (fur, feathers, and scales alike) my entire life. I do not currently own any four-legged family members of my own, but in the past I have owned dogs, cats (including exotic cat breeds such as Bengals), horses, hedgehogs, mice, and fish—and I can’t wait to meet your furry friends and go on an amazing walk together (or just snuggle up on the couch!) I have extensive experience caring for special needs pets such as senior, blind, and/or arthritic dogs and cats, shy pets, and the more unusual pets such as hedgehogs, fish, donkeys, and more. Additionally, I have years of experience house-sitting and will make sure not only that your home stays tidy, but that your pets are spoiled while you’re away. I am a mother to a 2 year old daughter. Boarding requests must be child-friendly pets! She is in daycare, but is home with me in the evening. I do not allow direct interaction with clients pets, but for everyone’s safety (your pets’ and ours!), any boarded pets must be safe with children. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members and give them all the attention in the world, just like they deserve! I am currently a stay at home mother to my 2 year old daughter, who is in daycare during the daytime hours, Monday through Friday. I am occasionally available for drop-ins outside of those hours as long as it is scheduled and planned for in advance. I am available from 8am to 6pm, with some wiggle room for earlier or later drop-ins or walks. We have a 2 bedroom home with an unfenced front yard. The only child in the house is in daycare during the weekday, daytime hours, and can be kept away from clients pets when necessary! Otherwise, we have a very quiet, peaceful home, in a slow-paced neighborhood that is perfect for long walks. We have a full security system with cameras. I am happy to provide regular updates and pictures or videos of your fur baby throughout the sitting experience. I know how it feels to leave your beloved furry family members in the care of someone else, and want to ensure you feel kept up to date and informed about your pet’s day and wellbeing!

Available before 11am M-F and after 8pm M-F. Available most weekends and holidays. Reach out with your needs and I'm sure we can figure it out! Will work with your animal based on their specific needs in their own home. No two dogs are the same and I understand that proper animal husbandry cannot take a one size fits all approach.
