Highlights
Pet care experience
Flexible friend,10years experience!
Hi, my name is Alexia and I'm here because, like you, top quality pet care is my priority! I grew up around animals, and have always been passionate about their well-being. While my long term goals are more focused on conservation, I've found that dogs bring me back to my roots and give me such joy, and I hope to return that favor. I have a BS in Biology and Animal Behavior, Ecology & Conservation. In total, I have about 10 years of professional dog-related experience in various settings. I've also worked in a zoo, a veterinary clinic, a dairy farm, and on a horse farm. I have two years experience with dog boarding, and three years experience in dog daycares. I have also been employed as a dog bather, and can perform services such as nail trims and ear cleanings, among others. I have about five years experience in training and I am certified in pet first aid. In my free time, I love hiking and photography, and I'd love to take your kiddo(s) along for an adventure! I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends. :)

Safety, trust & environment
I have an extensive background in training and working with dogs in all environments. I have worked with dogs of varying skill levels, including untrained and "stranger danger" dogs. No matter the layout or size of a home, my goal is always to set your dogs up for success. The safety of your pets will always be my first priority.
Ratings and reviews
Alexia is so wonderful! We have used her twice now and will continue to do so. She is a great communicator and is liked even by our grumpy dog :). Highly recommend!
Alexia is amazing! She came and met our pups before her first visit with them. She sent photos, updates, and gave them lots of pets while we were gone :). She clearly loves animals but is also obviously super knowledgeable about their care, which is invaluable! She is trustworthy and kind, and we will absolutely use her again in the future. Would highly recommend if you want a kind, knowledgeable sitter who communicates well!
Alexia is wonderful! As my dog can be skittish, she met Riley first. She asked lots of questions about taking care of my dog, questions I hadn’t even thought of. Alexia was patient, attentive and loving. I would certainly have Alexia take care of my dog again.
Alexia has been a lifesaver! She loves dogs and is very honest & reliable. She has great insight into the care of a dog which is helpful and she's a great communicator. The dog loves her and gets very excited when she comes. We feel lucky to have found someone who cares as much about the dogs well being as we do.
I have known Alexia for many years and can guarantee any pet owner that they will receive the best care for their beloved animals from her. Alexia has the skills to care for and train dogs, having worked for a dog day care for multiple years, and of course to love them as well. There is no doubt she will go above and beyond to meet both the needs of the dogs and their owners.
Alexia was a coworker of mine for a few years at a dog daycare, over that time I’ve never seen someone so dedicated to the well-being of dogs, she is extremely knowledgeable on dog behavior, and has such a genuine love for every dog that crosses her path. She will provide unparalleled care for your pup, I cannot recommend her enough.
