Big Heart for Every Pup 🐾

Hi, I’m Alexis! I’m a lifelong dog lover and previous pet owner with experience caring for senior and special-needs dogs. After recently losing my beloved pups, I’m taking a little break from pet ownership but I still need plenty of dog love in my life! I’d love the opportunity to care for, spoil, and love on your pets while they’re in my care. ❤️ I’ve cared for dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities, including Chihuahuas, Labs, Huskies, Cane Corsos, Shibas, and King Shepherds—no dog is too big or too small! I’m also comfortable with special care needs. My dog Milo had epilepsy, so I have experience administering medication and providing attentive care for dogs who need a little extra support. Most recently, I adopted a senior Shiba who passed away at 15 after battling non-regenerative anemia, which gave me hands-on experience with the patience, comfort, and extra attention senior dogs require. I don’t have a fenced-in yard, but I live near a park with lots of walking paths and green space. I’m happy to provide plenty of leashed walks and outdoor time, and there’s also a dog park nearby for friendly pups who enjoy it! I also frequently visit the Omaha Dog Bar and would be happy to bring your registered pup along for an outing if they’re comfortable and enjoy socializing. Most importantly, I’ll treat your pets like they’re my own, with patience, love, attention, and plenty of belly rubs! 🐾❤️

Schedule

I work fully remote, so your pup will have plenty of company and attention throughout the day! Our mornings start around 7 AM (or earlier if they’re the ones waking me up), with a potty break and some morning time together before I start work. While I’m working, they’re welcome to lounge on the couch or bed nearby. We’ll take breaks throughout the day for attention, potty breaks, and a little playtime. After work around 4 PM, we’ll head out for a longer walk or, if they enjoy it, a trip to the dog park. I’ll then head to the gym for about two hours, after which I’ll be home for dinner, another walk, cuddles, and relaxing together! Overall, your pup can expect a comfortable routine, lots of companionship, regular potty breaks, exercise, and plenty of love throughout the day!

Safety, trust & environment

I treat every animal as if they were my own and take the time to understand their routine, personality, comfort level, and any special needs before they stay with me. Because I work fully remote, I’m home throughout the day and able to provide frequent supervision, potty breaks, attention, and companionship. I don’t have a fenced-in yard, so outdoor time is always supervised and on-leash unless we’re in a secure, designated area. I live near a park with plenty of walking paths and green space, which makes it easy to give pups safe, regular exercise. I’m experienced with senior and special-needs dogs, including administering medication and providing extra patience and care when needed. I’m also comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments and will always follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding, medications, exercise, and routines.

A typical day

I love keeping pups active, happy, and entertained! Depending on their personality and energy level, we can enjoy: Long walks around the nearby parks and walking trails Exploring new green spaces and getting some fresh air Dog park adventures for pups who enjoy socializing Plenty of playtime Couch cuddles and relaxing together while I work Treat time and enrichment activities Trips to the Omaha Dog Bar for registered, dog-friendly pups I’m happy to tailor activities to each dog’s age, energy level, and comfort. Whether your pup wants an adventure or would rather spend the day getting belly rubs on the couch, I’m here for it!

I don’t have any breed preferences, all dogs are welcome! My only request is that you let me know about any history of aggression or reactivity toward other dogs. Since I live in an apartment complex and enjoy taking pups on walks, it’s helpful to know if there are situations we should avoid, such as passing other dogs in the neighborhood or encountering another dog in the building. For dogs who aren’t comfortable around other pets, I’m also happy to accommodate by only booking one dog at a time. My goal is to make sure every pup feels safe and comfortable!
