A happy pet brings me great joy!
Pet care experience
Up until 5 years ago my entire life was full of dogs, horses or cats. I grew up with a spunky Welsh Terrier who lived till the ripe age of 16. While in High School I worked as a junior vet tech where I walked dogs, gave medication to dogs, cats and birds and cleaned. During college I gave drop in and over night care to a very loved senior lab. After college I had roommates with cats, and for 6 years I lived with my good friend who had between 3 - 6 dogs living with us at any given time (pit bulls, hounds, mutts and boarder collies). I'm a believer in maintaining training and manners as well as giving respect and lots of love.
Reviews
Alexis is a wonderful sitter! She kept my two cats happy and healthy :) great communication!
Alexis is a fantastic dog sitter!! She stayed with our golden retriever for 8 days while we were out of town. Throughout the week, she was communicative, sending pics every day and detailing what they had done together (walks, balls, toys). At the end of the week, she left a detailed note to highlight anything else we needed to know. I so appreciated the level of detail she provided and the clear care she put into taking care of our dog. He’s a part of our family and I’ve never trusted anyone but family with him. We’ll now trust Alexis with him every time! Highly recommend her if you are looking for a communicative, responsible, compassionate dog sitter who will treat your dog like their own.
Thanks for caring for the pups
Reliable and good with our pups
About Alexis K.

Safety, trust & environment
When I visit your pet in their home, I love to get down on the floor and give them some one on one attention and scratches as soon as I arrive. After some scratches, I'll give them their food, refresh their water and then check up on the space to make sure everything remains safe and habitable for your pet (no garbage, pet waste, open doors, stuck toys, etc). After your pet eats, we will spend some quality time together, playing, going for a walk or just snuggling.
Information Alexis K. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any special needs that I can account for. I'd like to know how your dog is around other dogs, people, children. This way I can be aware of places and situations to avoid on walks. If you have training in place that you would like to maintain please make me aware, (e.g. "my dog needs to stop and sit at crosswalks before we cross the street." OR "they should sit before they eat.")
A typical day
I love to take your dog for a walk around their neighborhood. If you are comfortable with an outing, I love to walk around the Lafayette Reservoir or hike in Brionnes. If you have a yard I'm happy to play fetch with your dog or hide and seek with toys.

Availability
I'm working from home and have a flexible schedule, so have lots of time to fit in some playtime with pets! I'm available in the morning and evening for drop in care and love to get a good afternoon walk in.
