I am available from 7am to 5pm, with some wiggle room for earlier or later drop-ins or walks.

Safety, trust & environment

We have a 3 bedroom, 2 story townhouse with an unfenced backyard. The only child in the house is in daycare during the weekday, daytime hours, and can be kept away from clients pets when necessary! Otherwise, we have a very quiet, peaceful home, in a safe, cozy neighborhood that is perfect for walks. We have a full security system with cameras. I am happy to provide regular updates and pictures or videos of your fur baby throughout the sitting. I know how it feels to leave your beloved furry family members in the care of someone else, and want to ensure you feel kept up to date and informed about your pet’s day and wellbeing!

Information Alexis H. would like to know about your pet

I’d like to know your pup’s preferences, and a description of your pet’s distinct personality. If she or he is sociable or shy, cuddly or standoffish. What is his/her favorite toy to cuddle or to play fetch with, and what’s their favorite treat? Perhaps most importantly if your pet has any special needs, allergies, health concerns, and current/regular exercise schedule and sleep situation. I also would like to know any rules you have that I should reinforce, inside or outside the house (examples: asking your dog to sit while being leashed, wait for me to exit the house before them, etc.). I have no breed preference whatsoever. If they have a wet nose to kiss and a belly to rub, then they’re perfect to me!

A typical day

Your dog and I have a spacious, safe neighborhood to get miles of walking or exercise in, plenty of grass to roll in, and shaded grass available at all times, so nobody’s paws have to touch the pavement on hot days! We have a two-story home with the only stairs gated off with a baby gate, safe for uncoordinated puppies and senior furry citizens who struggle getting up or down steps. We are a puppy-friendly household, happy to help with leash training and potty training, even while you are away.

Pet care experience

Please message me to discuss discounts for long stays & multiple pets! Hello! My name’s Lexi, I’ve loved animals of all kinds (fur, feathers, and scales alike) my entire life. I do not currently own any four-legged family members of my own, but in the past I have owned dogs, cats (including exotic cat breeds such as Bengals), horses, hedgehogs, mice, and fish—and I can’t wait to meet your furry friends and go on an amazing walk together (or just snuggle up on the couch!) I have extensive experience caring for special needs pets such as senior, blind, and/or arthritic dogs and cats, shy pets, and the more unusual pets such as hedgehogs, fish, donkeys, and more. Additionally, I have years of experience house-sitting and will make sure not only that your home stays tidy, but that your pets are spoiled while you’re away. I am a mother to a 2 year old daughter. Boarding requests must be child-friendly pets! She is in daycare, but is home with me in the evening. I do not allow direct interaction with clients pets, but for everyone’s safety (your pets’ and ours!), any boarded pets must be safe with children. I can’t wait to meet your furry family members and give them all the attention in the world, just like they deserve!

Lexi was just great taking care of our cat, Ozzie. He’s over 12 years old and diabetic. Lexi came twice a day to feed Oz, give him his shots, comb and pet him. She sent us pictures every day. I was really impressed with the care she took of Oz. Will definitely ask her to watch him again when we travel.
