Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Alexis! I’ve been pet sitting for over 10 years and have lifelong experience as a pet owner myself. I had my dog for 16 years and have cared for my cat for the past 10, so I understand the level of trust it takes to leave your pet with someone. I’m comfortable with all breeds, sizes, and personalities, and I also have dog walking training through the SPCA. Whether your pet is high-energy, shy, or needs a little extra patience, I adapt to their needs to make sure they feel safe and cared for. I prioritize spending quality time with your pet and keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I’m available for walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays, and I’m flexible based on what makes you most comfortable. Your pet will never be left alone for long periods of time when in my care. I’m very detail-oriented and appreciate clear instructions so I can follow your pet’s routine exactly. I’m also happy to provide medications or any special care needed. You can expect regular updates, photos, and clear communication. I treat every pet like my own and aim to make your time away as stress-free as possible.

Alexis is wonderfully attentive and communicative and did an excellent job with our senior dogs! We were gone for a week and knew they were in good hands. She was very receptive to our directions and keeping the little old ladies safe and loved. We highly recommend Alexis!

Alexis was very communicative and sent lots of updates (which I appreciate!) I came home to a calm, happy dog. I have already booked Alexis again!

Awesome and Flexible. Loki has recently had some pretty bad health changes and Alexis just rolled with it. She kept in touch and sent updates all weekend, She was amazing with Loki. I can't recommend her enough
