Pet care experience

Trustworthy Care, Happy Pets

I’ve been around pets most of my life and have a deep understanding of their needs, body language, and personalities. I offer calm, attentive care tailored to each pet, whether it’s a playful puppy learning the basics or a senior pet needing extra patience, meds, or gentle walks. I’m experienced with basic training, crate routines, senior care, and making shy or anxious pets feel safe and comfortable. I treat every animal like family, with love, respect, and a focus on their well-being and happiness.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or yours, I create a calm, safe, and loving environment where animals can relax and feel secure. I respect each pet’s routine and preferences, and I always follow your instructions closely whether it’s about food, walks, medications, or cuddle limits! In your home, I treat the space with care and keep things clean and consistent so your pet stays comfortable. If I’m caring for pets in my home, they’ll have a peaceful, pet-friendly space with plenty of love, supervision, and attention. Safety and trust are everything to me and so is making sure your pet feels right at home, wherever they are.

They were incredible! Our dog was so happy and we knew he felt the love. We had to modify our booking more than once and they were super flexible. We trust them and look forward to having them again. We plan for them to be our “go to” every time we are in need. We feel very lucky!

Alexis wonderful with animals and treated my cat like her own baby. She exudes love and warmth and took great care of my cat treating him like her own. Not just with me cat, but she had this with all animals. She gives cuddles, scratches, plays games and makes sure they are well fed and pampered, I’m glad to have her.

I know that with her consistent diligence, helpfulness, and kindness, you can certainly trust Alexandra Shipton in going above and beyond while caring for your pet.

I highly recommend Alex for pet care services. My cat is usually not so great with strangers, so I was worried about hiring someone, but she loved Alex! She was very good about making my cat feel comfortable. My cat is on supplements and a rigid diet, which also made me hesitant to trust a stranger, but Alex was very understanding about that, super communicative to make sure she had everything right, and was happy to give updates on how everything was going while I was away. I can't tell you how grateful I was to be able to feel at ease, knowing my fur baby was in great care. I will definitely hire her again! 10/10

Alex is a very kind and caring friend and pet sitter. She is known as Mother Bishop in our community because she has a nurturing spirit and always looks out for people and animals alike.

My friend is a caring, kind person who loves animals. She is an effective communicator and really enjoys animals and people alike. She is great with dogs and cats, and has fed my girl kitty when I've been out of town. She would be an excellent addition to the rover team.

Pet care fits naturally into my life right now. After going through cancer last year, I’m focused on healing and creating a life filled with joy and purpose. I’m currently not working a traditional job, so I have plenty of time, flexibility, and energy to dedicate to pets. Spending time with animals brings me peace, and I’d be honored to be a loving, dependable presence for your pet while you’re away.

It’s super helpful to know your pet’s routine, quirks, favorite toys, and any medical or behavioral needs. I want to make sure they feel totally comfortable and cared for while you’re away!
