Availability

I currently work from home and have a very flexible calendar. Flexible with last minute trips or needs. Always happy to spend extra time to make sure your pet(s) are less anxious while you are away. I do have a toddler so any pups that stay with us need to be kid friendly (we can always put up gates if needed).

Information Alexis F. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs (medications) or is leash reactive around other dogs. If there are certain signals your pet gives when they need to go outside are also very helpful.

We’ll play a ton (if they are into it)! We have a large yard (not fenced) and frequent all the usual spots in New Canaan for long walks.

WFH dog lover; always flexible!

Pet care experience

I’ve grown up with dogs (Lab, Schnauzer, Italian Greyhound, Huskie, Pomeranian and Dalmatian). My husband and I both WFH and love the Rover families we've gotten to help out with since 2022. I’ve taken care of my own dog for 13 years (she is now crossed over the rainbow road). I’ve also house sat for cats, dogs, and even rats! I’ve volunteered at PAWS in Norwalk, CT for over 3 years.

Alexis is a fabulous dog walker/dog sitter. She is extremely professional and connected with my (2) Coton’s from day 1. I am so happy to have found such a reliable and delightful caretaker for my dogs. Thank you Alexis.

Alexis is the best! She came over early to meet my puppy before she was scheduled to drop in. She was very attentive and communicative. I will definitely book her again!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass an identity verification. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
