Pet care experience
What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my deep commitment to not just caring for pets, but enhancing their well-being through specialized knowledge and skills. I'm currently working towards advanced training certifications, which reflects my dedication to continuous learning and professional development in pet care. As a service dog trainer, I have a unique understanding of canine behavior and training techniques. This experience allows me to provide structured, yet compassionate care and training to pets under my supervision. Whether it's working on obedience, behavior modification, or specific tasks, I apply these skills to help pets grow and thrive. Nutrition is another area where I bring added value. I have a strong background in pet nutrition, enabling me to make informed choices about the dietary needs of the pets I care for, if it is ever needed. This is especially important for pets with specific dietary requirements or health concerns. Puppy socialization and obedience are among my key strengths. I love working with puppies, helping them learn the ropes of social interaction, and guiding them through the critical stages of their development. My approach is always gentle, patient, and tailored to each puppy's unique personality and needs. I believe in treating every pet as if they were my own, with all the love, care, and attention they deserve. My goal is not just to be a sitter, but a positive influence in the lives of the pets I care for. No matter the service paid for, all dogs in my care will receive some play based, force free, positive only training for fun!
Reviews
My experience with Alexis has been in the training area, not pet sitting. She is a very passionate trainer, who always goes above and beyond. She takes her time with understanding my issues and understanding the dog in front of her. She will send me tons of resources to help me understand and keep up with the training she provides. I love that she uses play based, reinforcement training and she is creative in tailoring the cues to what works best for our household and family. She is absolutely obsessed with learning and furthering her knowledge so I feel really confident in leaving my dog with her. She is also aware enough to know when something is out of her abilities or capabilities and she will let me know that she isn’t the best fit for the issue at this time. Absolutely love her!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I prioritize pet safety and comfort above all else. When caring for pets, either in my own home or in a client's home, I ensure that their environment is safe, secure, and tailored to their needs. This means removing any hazards, providing a cozy and comfortable space, and making sure they have access to fresh water and their preferred food. Building a bond with each pet is essential for me. I engage in playful activities that suit their personality and energy level, always focusing on positive reinforcement. This approach not only fosters trust but also helps in understanding their unique behaviors and needs. When it comes to training, I strictly adhere to force-free methods. This not only ensures the pet's physical well-being but also supports their mental and emotional health. By using positive reinforcement, I help pets feel confident and comfortable in my care. This approach is gentle, effective, and strengthens our bond, making their time with me a happy and stress-free experience.

Availability
I work full time and pet sit because it is a passion of mines. I am off two days a week and take on a full day of clients and I work in clients every day before my shift. I am also a good choice for pet parents who work late or overnights because I am available during those times
