Availability

I am currently only working part time hours and am home most of the days. When I am not a home the pets are carefully monitored by camera in a dog safe part of the house. And given different items to keep them busy and enjoying their alone time. Whenever they have been in the crate they can expect a nice long romp around the property to give them ample time to use their nose and get a good run in.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in small dog yard and we have a perimeter fence around our entire property allowing an additional level if security. When our on walks we make sure harnesses and collars are fit correctly and if there is a chance of a dog being a flight risk we take extra measures to prevent dogs from slipping out of collars. I am experienced in off leash trained dogs and I am happy to follow any specific instructions for what owners are comfortable allowing their dogs to do.

Information Alexis F. would like to know about your pet

I like to know what they like and dislike. Do they hate squirrels? If so we will stick to on leash activities. Scared of loud noises we will take care to walk in a more quiet place. If your dog thinks they are a track star let me know so we can do activities on long lines where they can have their freedom but also be safely under control and no escape risk. You must have dogs that are okay with TINY dogs. My little dogs safety is extremely important and I can not have dogs with high prey drive who may hurt her in my home.

A typical day

We love to hike and play in the creek at our house. A typical day starts eith a morning potty and time to explore outdoors before coming in and resting before breakfast. After breakfast we take a little to let our food settle before heading back out to take a romp down to our creek. After that we will settle in the house for a few hours where some kind of boredom buster will be provided. Afternoons may involve going to explore around the farm or for a fun training adventure. Evenings we will settle back in for dinner and some TV time before doing a bed time potty break and settling in for the night. Tired dogs are happy dogs so we do our best to make sure they are ready to head to bed at night.

Pet care experience

My name is Alexis F. and I have over 15 years experience with dogs. We've had dogs in my family since before I was born but I really started training at the age of 7 with a local 4H club. In my free time I enjoy training animals in agility, obedience, and tracking. I have experience working with intact animals and managing dogs with behavior issues. I feel that every dog can be a good dog if they are set up for success. Every walk we take is considered training and they will be given a chance to use their brain to their fullest potential. During your dogs walks I offer two types of walk options. The first walk I offer is a training walk where we will spend 15 minutes working on heeling and 15 minutes allowing the dog to smell and go potty. I also offer hikes where your dog will be allowed to walk 1-4 miles over varying terrain depending on their fitness level and ability to get along with other animals. We try to follow owners daily routines the best we can when you leave your dog in our care so that transitions from house to house go as smooth as possible. I am well versed in giving medication and injections for dogs and I am happy to board dogs with special needs. I do ask that dogs are reasonably crate trained so that if they need to be left unattended for any amount of time they can remain in a crate for their safety. I am happy to discuss specific needs as far as crating goes.

Alexis has taken care of my 7 dogs about 6 times and each time I have come home to happy and healthy dogs. She takes care of my dogs as if they are hers. My dogs are always happy to see her. She follows any special directions I leave to the letter. Alexis texts me photos and gives me updates on them. I have been very blessed to have her to take care of my fur babies!

Fantastic dog sitter. My dog loved having her walking him. She goes the extra mile to make sure he is taken care of and happy.
