Animal LOVING Veterinary Technician

Pet care experience

I have two of my own dogs, both are rescue labs. I have been dog sitting for the past eight years for family and friends and I absolutely love doing it. I am a Veterinary Technician and a Certified Pharmacy Technician, so the medical background definitely gives my clients reassurance that I will provide the upmost care for all their animals. I am also a state/national/series champion horseback rider, where I acquired a lot of experience in caring for equine as well. Pet care fits perfectly into my weekly routine because I work from home so when I am dog sitting I can spend all my time with the animals and make sure they are cared for around the clock. I have two rescues at home. I make sure they are fed, walked, played with, and I even let them sleep with me at night on my bed if they want a comfortable place to sleep. My one lab has really bad allergies so I always make sure he takes his medication on time and do activities with him to help him with his anxiety as well.

Alexis went above and beyond our expectations! Our 2 dogs absolutely loved her and were well cared for. She left our home very clean and in order. We will be calling on her to sit for us again!

Alexis was excellent with our furry clan. She came by early to meet them a few weeks before our trip. She showed up on time and was quick to respond to messages, and she sent photos of our pets several times. She contacted us immediately when one of our dogs got into something he shouldn’t have, and acted quickly. She even kept in contact late in the day and offered to stay again if needed when we almost missed our return flight. When we got home, our animals were happy, sheets were washed, and house was clean. We will definitely ask her to come back again!

Alexis was amazing! This was the first time having someone watch our dogs and cats, but they all quickly took a liking to her and seemed to be happy staying in their own home while we were gone. Alexis sent updates, photos, gave medications, and overall took care of ours like they were her own pets. Would absolutely recommend her to anyone and will be using her services again!

Information Alexis D. would like to know about your pet

I have taken care of special needs animals before and it is truly not a problem. If I could just get the owners to provide a medication list including medications, time of administration, and any other additional information needed. I am a Veterinarian Technician and have been around a variety animals my whole life no job is too hard. But also any favorite toys, activities, or treats that can be mentioned would be great.

A typical day

I love spending time with animals. Whether that’s playing with toys, going on walks or even car rides. My puppy Dusty loves to play ball and it’s his way of coping with his anxiety, so playing it pretty frequent.
