Lover of Cats and Dogs

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Alexia and I love animals! I am an architecture and art student at UWM. A life long animal lover, between me and my parents I have a dog and five cats. I am comfortable and have expereience with dogs of all sizes. As for cats, I have never met one that I didn't like and I am very experienced in cat care as well, as I have my own cat, Hammy. I am available for services on school breaks and all summer starting 5/25. I can perform several home visits and walks a day, and I am willing to travel up to 25 minutes for overnight care. While I will walk and provide overnight care for large and medium dogs, I will not host them in my home. As for the walks, I can walk with them for up to an hour if needed. I can not wait to meet you and your fur babies!

Alexia was a wonderful pet/house sitter for our elderly beagle and cranky cat. The animals were properly spoiled and she left little evidence of living in our house for almost a week. We highly recommend this lovely girl.

Alexia took great care of our two dogs and home while we were away for the week! She made it easy and we were able to enjoy our time away. I would definitely request Alexia again.

Alexia was wonderful and took excellent care of our dogs. They felt very comfortable with her and she was able to keep their routine and decreased the stress of us being away. She is very kind and compassionate and we will definitely utilize her services again!

Safety, trust & environment

An experienced pet owner, I am familar with escape artists. When doing house sitting, I always make sure to secure doors/exits when coming and going. As a personal principal, I try to never leave a pet alone for more than four hours when house sitting. Please inform me on your pet's daily schedule and needs so I can follow their normal routine as close as possible to ensure a worry free experience for both you and your pet!

Information Alexia B. would like to know about your pet

When meeting you and your dog I like to know: Age of pet Location of water and food bowl Time of feeding If they are friendly with other dogs/cats Any separation issues If they are accident prone How long they can exercise How to administer any medication

A typical day

I have no problem going on a long walk or playing fetch until my arm falls off. I’m very patient also, and use a firm, kind voice when reprimanding. After play time I always serve up a fresh bowl of water with a treat. I like to meet you and your pet before my stay, so I can ensure a smooth transition and keep your pet's routine as normal as possible!
