Pet care experience
Big Heart for Every Pup 🐾
Hi, I’m Alexis! I’m a lifelong dog lover and pet owner with experience caring for senior and special-needs dogs. I most recently adopted my dog, Simon! He is a gentle giant with a wobble to his walk. He has Cerebellar Ataxia, but that doesn’t stop him at all! Simon loves his dog friends of all sizes and would love to join me in helping take care your fur babies! 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 previous dog Milo had epilepsy, so I have experience administering medication and providing attentive care for dogs who need a little extra support. More 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! 🐾❤️
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
We had a great experience with Alexis! She stayed in our home with Poppy while we were away on a cruise and had great communication throughout our trip. She sent us photos and videos, and Poppy always looked happy and well cared for, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. We came home to a clean and tidy house and a happy pup! We were very pleased and will definitely be using her again.

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!

Home characteristics
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.
