Safety, trust & environment

I enjoy to learn about your daily routines and would stick to that plan as I know this is important to pets. I am able to take them out for walks. I am responsible when letting them out for bathroom needs. I am comfortable cleaning any mess and will notify you if something out of the ordinary comes up.

Information Alexa D. would like to know about your pet

I prefer to know your current daily routine so we can keep that as consistent for your pet. Let me know about any restrictions with people, locations, treats, ETC. I would like to know any abnormal behaviors that I might not expect with a trained pet.

A typical day

I can find a dog park for your pup to run around with a toy or we can make fun at home too. I make sure cats are interested and read their vibe on what they would like to do. I also like just sitting with the pet so they are not alone.

Pet care experience

I grew up on a farm with many pets. I have a calm demeanor, never taking long to gain an animals trust. I am able to pill dogs and cats. I can also administer shots as needed. I had a diabetic cat that required daily insulin shots. I enjoy spending time with animals and would love to keep your pal comfortable while you are away.

Alexa does a wonderful job with my senior cat when we're out of town including giving a pill. She leaves helpful notes from the visits that help reassure us that our pet is in good hands. Plus we love the care she puts into a variety of pictures. Definitely recommend!

Alexa did a fabulous job taking care of our cat while we were gone for 12 days. Everything was perfect when we got home. She wrote great notes about her visits and played with him and spent extra time to ensure he was happy!
