About: Growing up, we always had dogs. We had 3 miniature schnauzers Abbey, Lola, and Boujee along with our Old English Bulldog Kate (who also thinks she is a schnauzer). I currently have a sassy miniature schnauzer of my own, Margie, whom I love to do everything with. She is great around other animals. We would love to have your pups come stay with us!

About: Hi! I'm Alexis. I have worked with all animals imaginable. I have worked professionally in animal care settings for the past eight years, from zookeeping to animal shelter work. I can care for any animal you have with expertise and compassion. I currently have a cat named Stewart, a pittie named Bandit and an umbrella cockatoo named Beekee, all rescue babies. I would love to meet your animal, too! Shane is my boyfriend who helps out sometimes when I need any extra hand. Together, the two of us can make sure your pets receive exceptional care and support! I have been an animal caretaker for the past eight years. For many years of my career, animal caretaking was a fundamental part of my job, so I am very used to incorporating it into my day. I have a cat, dog and a cockatoo. Interactions between guest's dogs and my dogs will be minimal, if non-existent. Care will take place at guest's house.
