I’d love to baby your baby
Pet care experience
My dog and cat both passed away from old age last year, and I’d love the chance to spend time with your pets while you’re away! While pet sitting was previously a hobby to keep me engaged with animals after the loss of my pets, I am now furloughed from the service industry as a result of Covid-19. This means I have plenty of time to ensure that your animals get the attention and care they deserve. I have many years of experience raising and training large, working-breed dogs, and am willing to work with behavioral issues as long as I am adequately informed. It’s important to me to stay consistent with your training, so a list of commands, techniques, routines, and things you’re working on is more than welcome. I am quite physically active, so if your animals have exercise needs beyond standard walking I would be happy to work with you to make sure they are being met.
Reviews
What wonderful, warm, thoughtful, playful, loving care my boys received! They told us to go back on vacation—they love Alexis and Kyle! Our home was even cleaner than we left it! We will definitely be calling them again!!!
Alexis and Jeff are the absolute best. So responsive, flexible, and treated our boy with so much love. So much so we think he’s depressed to be back home! Thanks so much for making our vacation stress free and taking such good care of our pup!
Super friendly and caring. It’s easy to see she loves watching your pet. I would definitely recommend and have her watch my puppies again!
I can't say enough about Alexis. She was SO wonderful with our 2 yr old pit mix, who is highly enthusiastic and has tons of energy! She is obviously super dog-savvy, and handled any iffy situations with Wallace exactly how I would as his owner. Alexis also was diligent about practicing training with Wallace so he didn't lose any of his obedience training in our absence, which we appreciated very much. Wallace was totally smitten with her by the end of his stay! I would absolutely have Wallace stay with Alexis again, and I know he can't wait for his next adventure with her!

Information Alexis & Jeffrey K. would like to know about your pet
If your pup has any level of reactivity (leash, dog, strange human, etc.) I’m more than happy to make sure they are in a comfortable environment at all times. Also if they tend to chew, dig in the garbage, destroy furniture, eliminate indoors, have poor leash manners, or engage in any other behaviors that could require extra preparation I’d like to know beforehand. Dog ownership is a process and I’m here to help you along the way.
A typical day
My walks defer to owner preferences and the comfort level of the dog. With more social dogs, I plan high-traffic routes, reactive or fearful dogs will enjoy more quiet, secluded walks. If it’s a part of your routine, I’d love to take your baby to the dog park for some socializing, off leash running, and fetch! I do understand that not all dogs with high exercise needs are made for the park, though, so if we need to incorporate other things like jogging I’m open to discussing that as well. Additionally, any of my interactions with your pet will be viewed as a chance to continue their training and enrichment as far as you see fit.
