Loving Care for Every Pet
Hi there! I’m a dedicated animal lover with personal experience caring for dogs of all ages. I have two adorable pups at home —a toy poodle and a maltipoo—and I’ve grown up with multiple dogs. I also have experience helping care for my mom’s senior dog, including administering medication. While I’ve never owned cats, I’ve cared for them through pet-sitting and understand their unique needs and personalities. I tailor my care to fit each pet’s needs. Whether it’s energetic playtime, walks or runs in the park, or quiet companionship for a senior pet or independent cat, I’ll ensure your furry friend feels happy and loved. I live in a pet-friendly complex with a park nearby, but I’m also happy to visit your pet’s favorite walking or play spot. I work a flexible hybrid schedule as a mechanical engineer, splitting time between the office and my home office. If needed, I can schedule remote workdays in advance to provide extra care for your pet. I pride myself on being responsible, attentive, and adaptable. Whether you have a dog, a cat, or both, I’d love to give your pets the love and care they deserve!

Safety, trust & environment
Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or my client’s home. In My Home: I live in a pet-friendly apartment with my two small, friendly dogs, who love meeting new furry friends. While there isn’t tons of indoor space for play, we have access to great outdoor areas, including a fenced-in courtyard, a park across the street, the nearby 606 path, and many other walking spots. Your pet will enjoy plenty of outdoor time and fresh air in a safe and welcoming environment. While I don’t own a crate, I can accommodate crate training or sleeping arrangements if you provide the crate and request it. In My Client’s Home: I treat your home with the same care and respect as I do my own, ensuring it’s clean and secure while I’m there. I follow your pet’s routines, such as feeding, walks, and playtime, to minimize stress and keep them comfortable. For senior pets or those requiring special attention, I’m experienced in administering medication and providing gentle care. I understand how comforting it is to receive updates and pictures when you’re away—I always appreciate them when I’m apart from my pets. That’s why I make it a priority to keep my clients updated, sharing photos and progress to help you feel at ease knowing your furry family member is happy and cared for. Above all, I’m committed to creating a safe, loving, and trusting environment for every pet I care for, whether it’s in my home or yours.
Ratings and reviews
Alexis was a wonderful houseguest and caretaker for our Everest while we were out of town for a long weekend. Would definitely recommend, especially for northern breeds. ;)
Was wonderful with our pup, very responsive, and gave us peace of mind that he was happy and taken care of.
Alexis did an amazing job with my cat! She was able to give him his oral medication (which is not easy to shove down his throat) and his inhaler. She earned his trust and he loved her by the end. Alexis sent me videos and pictures every time she would drop in. I highly recommend her and will be using her again.
Great, succinct communication, friendly, and on time! Alexis walked my two 60lb dogs and did a wonderful job.
Alexis McAvoy is one of, if not the most genuinely caring person I know. She is a selfless person who derives true joy and happiness from being around and caring for animals. She is very experienced in pet sitting, dog walking, and overall animal care. If you are looking for someone to devote their time and energy to the health and wellbeing of your pet, look no further. No one will care for your pet as much as Alexis (besides you of course!).
Alexis was wonderful in every aspect of her assignment. She treated my puppy with love and care as if it were her own and followed every instruction of her stay in my home to the letter. I would highly recommend her.

Schedule
Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine, thanks to my flexible hybrid work schedule. On remote workdays, I am more available throughout the day for walks, check-ins, and playtime, allowing me to provide extra care as needed. On in-office days, I can accommodate early morning visits, evening walks, or overnight stays. Additionally, my work schedule is flexible, and I can plan remote workdays in advance to accommodate your pet’s needs, ensuring they get the attention and care they deserve. I already incorporate caring for my own two dogs into my daily routine, so I’m experienced in balancing work and pet care. On weekends, my schedule is much more open, giving me the flexibility to dedicate plenty of time to your pet for walks, outings, or companionship. I’m happy to work with you to make sure your pet is happy and cared for, no matter the day of the week!
