Experienced, Trained, and Happy

Pet care experience

I've been pet sitting for families around my neighborhood for about six years. This includes dogs and cats (of all sizes) and I have a rabbit at home as well. I usually stop by 3-4 times a day for day visits and stay long enough to walk, feed, and play with the pets. I'm very good at multitasking; for example my two dogs are 13 and 60 pounds, so walking them at the same time can be seen as a struggle. In high school I also attended the Academies of Loudoun and studied Veterinary Science, so I know a lot about animals! I'm very caring and will love your pet as if they were my own! I can also adapt to any special requests you might have for me. Please keep in mind that I am a nurse so my schedule can vary, but I will do my best to accommodate the times you request I stop by🙂

Alexis was wonderful to work with. She sent me pics of my Mandy during their walks and she was very accommodating when I missed my flight and needed her for an additional walk. I would definitely use her again.

Alexis was so sweet to Izzy and was always on time and sent me pictures as I requested. She was also willing to be flexible with times and that was very helpful and accommodating. Thank you Alexis so much!!!

Safety, trust & environment

I’m always keeping a watchful eye on the pet to ensure their safety. I also try to play with them and have them do tricks in order to stimulate them and help prevent boredom. My main priority when a pet is in my care is to make sure they’re safe, but I also make sure they are being cared for.

Information Alexis D. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if they have troubles with being around other dogs, this is just so I know what to expect if we see other dogs on our walk.

A typical day

I can take your dog on long walks around the neighborhood. We can play catch, tug of war, or just sit on the couch together.
