Pet care experience
Hi my name is Alexis, I'm 26 years old and extremely experienced with all animals. I have a history in the veterinary industry, working for a general practice for almost 2 years, and then transitioned into veterinary oncology for over a year specializing in chemo and radiation treatments, as well as palliative care for cats and dogs end of life care. I'm based in Lake View East, so I am in a great area for short and lengthy outdoor walks! I am willing to petsit for any animal, I love them all. I have 3 labradoodles, and a schnauzer. I have grown up with cats, dogs, horses, rodents, and reptiles. I have a special connection and demeanor with all animals; any breed, size, personality, or temperament. I can work with timid, nervous, or territorial pets as well. If you have a pet with special health or dietary requirements, or medications that need to be given, I can easily handle those requests as well. Can't wait to meet you and your dog!
Reviews
Alexis was an amazing pet-sitter for our dog. She was easy to reach, communicative, and trustworthy. She kept us very updated over the weekend and sent many pictures of our dog which we loved. She also brought in our packages and checked on our plants which was very appreciated. We highly recommend Alexis and will definitely be using her dog-sitting services again in the future!
Alexis is a great pet sitter - she took care of my two cats for two weeks on very short notice and always made sure to give them lots of love and attention. She is super professional and community’s regularly so you aren’t concerned about your pets - she sent me daily updates and pictures, which made being away a lot easier knowing they were in good hands. I can’t wait to have her take care of my guys again! Thanks alexis!

About Alexis B.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Working in the vet industry has elevated my pet care experience. I am used to working with animals with all types of personalities & especially working with animals with high anxiety stepping into the clinic. Proper restraint & awareness of socializing pets is something that can’t be ignored.
Information Alexis B. would like to know about your pet
I'd like to know any medical, dietary, or allergy issues, as well as where the dog enjoys to go upon special request. I would also like to know if the dog has any fears or if he/she does not get along well with other people or pets. Also, details on specials cues the owner would prefer me to use when with the dog for obedience or training purposes.
A typical day
I can take your dog anywhere, to the dog park, a swim in the lake, a run around the city, out to Starbucks for a Puppuccino, or just for a stroll. If your dog does not do well with other dogs or people I can also take him/her to a quiet park.

Availability
I’m currently a server at Mables Table in Bucktown, so I am free in the mornings 7 days a week, and all day Monday Tuesday. If informed ahead of time, I am willing to request time off work. I am an extremely active person so I spend a lot of days walking my dogs, and love to be outside.
