all dogs are puppies at heart

Pet care experience

I'm a Virginia Tech graduate with a degree in Animal and Poultry Science. I've been raised around animals of all kinds my entire life and am dedicated to their love and health. I’ve owned all size dogs and a plethora of reptiles including ball pythons, bearded dragons, tegus, and iguanas. I enjoy both working with dogs that need more exercise or lounging with older dogs inside where it’s nice and cool. All of your pets will be treated to their individual needs, whatever they may be! I’ve had lots of hands on experience giving medications and working with energetic, and even unruly, pets.

I am able to work with dogs and cats of all varieties, from dogs with separation anxiety that need to be crated to cat’s that need to eat specific diets due to medical needs. I take care of each and every pet as if they were my own.

Information Alexis J. would like to know about your pet

Are they dog aggressive? Food aggressive? People reactive? Leash reactive? Knowing their medication schedule is also a must if they take any medications! Also knowing their favorite treats and toys is great!

A typical day

We can go on long walks, play tug or fetch in the backyard, go swimming (doggy life jacket preferred!), or just lounge in the house getting attention and love.
