Availability

My husband and I make pet sitting a team effort so that each pet gets reliable care and company 24/7. We’re available for boarding throughout the week and on weekends. He works from home with a very flexible schedule, so he’s free throughout the day for walks, playtime, and plenty of cuddles. I work just around the corner from our home and can pop in during the day as needed. In the evenings and on weekends, one of us is always available so that your pets are never left without attention. If you prefer drop-in visits in your own home, I’m available early in the morning before work and in the late afternoon/evenings.

Safety, trust & environment

I have one dog and one cat at home to keep your fur baby company, but there is enough space in our home to separate all animals if preferred. I can easily crate your dog if requested but animals are welcome to rest on the couch and bed. We have an open yard in the back to allow regular, supervised potty breaks, as well as a fenced-in park in the neighborhood that is typically empty for play time. There are also plenty of uncrowded walking trails nearby that my own pup loves.

Information Alexis H. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know your pet’s typical routine, including any feeding schedules, medications, sleep habits, preferred potty times if applicable. If there are any behaviors you’d like me to know about (chases squirrels, scared of certain noises, etc). I’d also love to know if you have any training rules or specific goals for their stay (specific enrichment, photo updates, etc).

A typical day

A typical day with us is calm, fun, and full of enrichment. Our mornings usually start with a walk to get everyone moving and sniffing before I go to work. There are mid-day adventures with my husband which may include another walk, dedicated playtime, or training practice. Evenings might include one more stroll in the neighborhood with lots of cuddles and rest afterwards. We tailor each day to what your pet enjoys most, blending exercise with mental enrichment and relaxation.

I love all pets like they're my own

Pet care experience

I've been caring for animals since I was young, starting with my own pets and branching out to petsit for friends and family. I spent 7 years volunteering for the Humane Society and local dog shelter where I was able to work with cats of all personalities and dogs of all sizes. I'm comfortable caring for animals across their full lifespan and rescued my own puppy when he was just 8 weeks old! I am very passionate about an animal's full enrichment, so my care emphasizes a good balance of exercise, mental enrichment, and rest.

Alexis did an amazing job with both Benji and Appa!!! They had lots of outside time and walks—-and warmed up to her very easily. Looking forward to having her again!

Alexis is great. She has calm energy which is exactly what I was looking for in a sitter. I highly recommend Alexis and will definitely be rebooking with her.
