Ol' Vet Assistant for Pro Care.

Pet care experience

**ONLY ACCEPTING WALKS AT THIS TIME.** No dogs over 90 pounds, as I have an old knee injury. Previous International Exotic Animal Sanctuary and Crowley Animal Shelter Volunteer, Houston SPCA Volunteer, Wildlife Center of Texas volunteer, Assistant OTTB Rehabber Trainer and Stablehand. Recent Vet Assistant at 2nd highest-rated + accredited Fear-Free veterinarian hospital in the NATION. Proudly the only local sitter with medical and emergency experience with excellent connections in the field! I have trained disabled as well as unimpaired animals, body conditioning, training for manners, obedience, film/modeling, and I have practical knowledge in husbandry and breed phenotyping in several species. I have a reference for an incredible trainer in-town for deeper or more complex obstacles. My work with exotic animals, wildlife, and livestock gives me some well-roundedness. I am comfortable grooming, injecting, supplementing, raw feeding, and more. I tailor the care I give to every animal to ensure full, safe, and proper feeding, medicating, socializing, playtime, grooming, and other care and enrichment. I am familiar with mammal CPR as well as emergency medical procedures. I have experience in caring for wounds that require long-term, delicate attention. I am familiar with whelping and how to help ensure the survival of each pup in a litter. I have extensive resources for ALL animals, as I'm close with my team at Altitude Vet Hospital. Puppyhood is a fun time and I am extremely comfortable watching litters of any age. Bottle-feeding is an option and I can do overnights or day-stays as needed. Senior dogs are very deserving of tender care, and I love being able to offer that. Therapeutic salt baths and gentle massages may make your friend's time away from you just a little bit better. I check on teeth and ensure food, supplements and medications are administered as necessary. I am currently the only local sitter/walker with medical + surgical/emergency veterinary hospital experience, and am proud to be able to guarantee the health and safety of your critters while they are in my care! I maintain CareCredit and an oxygen tank, and am comfortable handling special needs, emergencies, and/or other individual needs. Thank you for considering me in assisting you!

This was our first time using having someone come into our home. Everything went perfectly. The dogs were happy and well taken care of. We will definitely be using Alexis in the future?

5 stars! Alexis did a wonderful job watching our rescue dog, Corrie! Alexis was so welcoming and I felt very comfortable leaving my dog with her, as she has such a strong background with animals. Alexis was also very considerate with listening to all of my dog’s needs. Will definitely be contacting her again for boarding! Thanks for being such a great host for Corrie!

Safety, trust & environment

Because I have two cats and three children, I always discuss preferences or history with those types of interaction. There is no ceiling fan nor bright lighting, and it's cool in the bar, making it the PERFECT getaway to destress and maintain normal routines with a bit less disruption. We have a decent-sized backyard, which is fully-secured. We have a small area fenced off from the rest of the yard, so we can separate and rotate around dogs that get along together. For the safety of my walk/run dogs, I use slip-leads in addition to whatever leash system you typically use, as most collars and harnesses are improperly fitted. Flexileads (stretching leashes) are NOT appropriate for long walks/runs and will NOT be used, and your pet will have a slip-lead over neck and an additional on collar/harness, in addition to adjusting ill-fitting gear for the safety of your babies. I DO NOT ACCEPT ANY REPTILES/AMPHIBIANS/ETC THAT DO NOT HAVE APPROPRIATE HEAT/UV. I do not take responsibility for any stays cancelled day-of for improper husbandry, as it is the owner's duty to research species and verify they have correct habitat. NO REFUNDS FOR IMPROPER HABITATS WILL BE ISSUED! **I will ONLY accept the stay if an additional dollar amount is immediately deposited to me in an amount sufficient to cover the cost of going and purchasing the appropriate items for a successful stay, in addition to a successful life for the animal; improper or insufficient habitat/husbandry can hurt or kill your pet and I cannot be party.** Thank you for doing your research!

Information Alexis C. would like to know about your pet

I need to know if the animal has any anxieties or fears, vices, or habits that you are working to improve or break. What training method(s) do you use? What level of socialization does your animal have? No preferences on size, color, breed, age, handicap, or care type, all animals receive the best!

A typical day

I offer games, mental stimulation through training and play, and I bake species-specific cakes and treats for birthdays! I do take photos and love to send updates. If you have a pet that needs to lose weight, I offer monthly plans for my services to come get your fuzzy active-- cat, dog, or horse! Exotics receive appropriate socialization according to their species and current social skill, as well as enrichment. Extracurricular activities are available, and all care may be tailored and adjusted as needed.

I am an entrepreneur; after securely establishing myself here, I launched a business. I assist Matt, my partner, with his business, and he with mine! Because I work for myself, and my home is my workspace, I am here most of the time. My kids are in school, and I've always balanced sitting/walking with regular work, and I have never had a scheduling conflict. My partner, Matthew, assists in the day-to-day care of Daycare and Boarding animals. We keep pocket pets, birds, and others in our basement bar room, away from all the noise and other animals. Daycare/Boarding animals are rotated as-needed, otherwise they play in a group and behavior is monitored after slow, positive introductions. Care occurs as priority, because I understand your pets are precious and priceless, with no other options when someone wishes to slack on their care; that's why all of my other business is handled by my employees or gracious partner, and worked around my critter care, here and elsewhere.
