Veterinary student & animal lover

Pet care experience

I have always had a passion for animals and now I am on the path to becoming a veterinarian through the NCSU CVM! My husband, Andrew, and I have been pet sitting for a couple of years now. We have found that we work well with all types of dogs and that our dog Luna has loved having the company around!

Alexa was amazing. Our buddy, Brody, came home relaxed and happy. He enjoyed snuggle time with humans and playtime with her animals too! We already booked our next boarding appointment with Alexa.

Alexa did a great job watching our four fur-babies while we were gone. She was a tremendous help and took away our burdens of worrying about the babies while we were away. We received pictures and videos everyday! We'd definitely hope to use Alexa in the future to check in with our babies again!

Our dog loves Alexa and we do too! Whenever she’s free, we always book her. I never have to worry about her when she’s with Alexa. Highly recommended!!

Safety, trust & environment

I do not have a yard since I live in an apartment, but I will take your dog out on a leash walk to exhaust some energy. I live on a lake with a nice, paved trail which I frequently use with my dog and ones that stay with us. I also can take your dog to a local dog park if you wish and if you know that your dog gets along well with others. I am willing to send as many picture updates as you would like because I know how stressful it can be being away from your pet! I will give your dog the best care possible and all the love they could ever want while you're away. In addition to the love Andrew and I will give them, I also have a very friendly pup who loves to play with other dogs and will keep your dog company while we are away

Information Alexa S. would like to know about your pet

How many walks do they need per day? What is their energy level like? Do they get along well with other playful dogs? Are they okay with cats/Have they had experience with cats? Do they need to be crated when left alone? Or are they okay to roam free when left alone? Will they eat any floor plants? Are they up to date on flea and tick prevention?

A typical day

I typically take them on hikes and walks or sometimes to the dog park where they can run and play with the other dogs with your permission!
