Animal Lover- 3yrs in Vet Industry!
Pet care experience
Hello! I’m Alexa and I have been professionally taking care of animals for over 3 years. I currently work as a vet assistant, working one on one with doctors and handling the medical part of animal care, but previously I had been working as a very large clinic's kennel manager and was also cross trained as a vet tech. As a kennel manager I was in charge of running the boarding kennels which housed over a hundred dogs at a time and ensured that everyone had the upmost quality of care. Animal care is something that I am very passionate about and is a long term career goal for me! I am currently pursuing a Biology degree at UIC, with hopes of either becoming a veterinarian or an even bigger goal of one day running my own shelter. I am knowledgable in what I do, and am always willing to offer my own insight on pet care. I have experience working with dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and temperaments, and am something of a cat whisperer 🤗 (I have 2 fur babies of my own). I also have experience with other small animals. I can deliver medication (injectable, topical, or oral) and give nail trims. Currently as a student and employee, I can offer services like daycare, house sitting, dog walking, and drop ins, but my availability may be limited. I can’t wait to meet your fur baby! :)
Reviews
Alexa did a fantastic job watching our gentle giant and our house while we were away. Excellent communication and lots of pictures (which we love!) and we felt our dog and house were in great hands. Will book again!
They have a great time with Alexa ☺️
Alexa is amazing! We’ve booked with her twice now and she does such a great job caring for our fur babies. Always goes above and beyond. Highly recommend.
Alexa was a fantastic sitter with our two cats and bulldog. She stayed over and we came home to three happy animals and a tidy house. We have a special needs dog when it comes to feeding, she didn’t hesitate to take on the job and had no problems with his care. Will definitely be booking again!

I can provide any additional basic house sitting duties (watering the plants, etc) if needed as well.

Information Alexa S. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any special needs that I should accommodate for ahead of time. I’m experienced in delivering oral and injectable medication and in taking care of senior pets. I don’t shy away from dogs who are “hard to handle” or “aggressive”, and we can always set up a meet and greet to make sure I’m a good fit for your pet.
A typical day
My company goes past giving basic care to your animal, I love to interact with them according to whichever personality that they have- we can play all day if they’re an energetic puppy, or we can just cuddle and enjoy each other’s company if they’re a calm senior. :)
