About: Ever since I was a little girl I’ve loved animals. I think fur babies are the sweetest thing because although they’re only with you for a little of their lives, you’re with them for all of theirs. I currently have a Shih Tzu & tuxedo cat of my own named Marble who are big babies. I currently work remotely Monday-Thursday 8:30 AM-4:30 PM so I’ll be home just about the whole day with your furry ones! Potty breaks, walks, and movie nights here won’t be a problem! I have a large yard next to my house so potty breaks won’t be a problem. Also I have an adult fixed Shih Tzu that loves naps, belly rubs, and playing to keep your fur one company!

“Alexis is phenomenal with my 3 pups. I’ve been working longer hours at work and she has been an absolute blessing in helping me care for them. She is kind and proven to be very trust worthy. Thank you Alexis for caring for mine as if they were yours!”


About: I’ve had dogs my whole life! I have helped friends and families take care of their fur babies for about 9 years now, from feeding, to walking, and even snuggling, I’ve always been there when they needed! I even have my own fur baby Athena. I’m currently a stay at home mom, so my schedule is pretty open! I love a good chance to love on people’s fur babies though! I have a fenced in yard and cozy home for fur babies, while I am not currently accepting in home due to my dog currently, I would more than love to come feed and take care of yours!

About: Animals have always been a huge part of my life. Since I was 16, I’ve cared for pets of family and friends—everything from dogs and cats to birds, rats, and even horses. I grew up surrounded by animals and have always loved getting to know each pet’s unique personality. I’ve also trained my own dogs and friends’ dogs to do over 30 different tricks, so I’m very comfortable with animals who are energetic, shy, or still learning. Additionally, I spent a few months working at an animal sanctuary in Costa Rica, where I helped care for a variety of animals and gained valuable hands-on experience. Whether they’re a playful puppy, a curious kitten, or a sweet senior in need of extra TLC, I’ll treat your pet like one of my own—making sure they feel safe, comforted, and completely loved while you’re away. I’m currently in between jobs because I am moving out to Lafayette soon. So I’m just looking for side work And my schedule is free. When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, I always focus on creating a calm, loving, and familiar environment. I follow the pet’s usual routines as closely as possible—whether that’s feeding times, walks, playtime, or medication. I make sure they get plenty of attention, comfort, and gentle care, especially if they're shy or have special needs. I have experience with a wide range of animals, including cats, dogs, birds, rats, and even horses, and I currently care for my own special needs cat with brain damage. I’m attentive to each animal’s personality and energy, and I do my best to make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and right at home—whether they're staying with me or I'm staying with them.
