Animal lover with healing hands!

Pet care experience

I currently work remotely at home with a flexible schedule. I also live with my partner who is a PhD candidate that works hybrid, and mostly from home. Usually one of us is at home and we are only both gone from our home for a maximum 3-4 hours in a day. We are both animal lovers and I love to go on long morning walks as well that I’d love to bring dogs on! For my home, I live in an apartment. But it is in a nice, quiet neighborhood with a trail connecting to the green belt right outside of my apartment! I also have a small fenced dog park right outside of my building where I can take a dog to play. For my clients home I will follow instructions for what they prefer for house rules and schedules for their pets. I love to take dogs on long walks and play fetch with them as well. However their pet likes to be played with and cared for will work for me. I am very flexible and adaptable! Also we have three cats that are typically cautious at first but warm up quickly to both cats and dogs in the home.

Very pleased with Alexis and Matthew. We are very, very particular who leave our Dog-Angel, Bliss, with. They were great! They were attentive to all our needs and communication was fabulous! We highly recommend them and will use the again when we are in Austin!

Alexis and matthew were great with my pup! They stayed in communication with us, sent pics of their walk, and kept me up to date on how well she interacted with their cats. I would definitely hire them again.

Alexis and Matt were great-they took such great care of our cat Mohatu and treated him like one of their own. Mohatu had a great time playing with the other cats and sleeping in the bed. We enjoyed the picture updates as well. I would definitely book with them again. Thank you!

Information Alexis & Matthew W. would like to know about your pet

It is important for me to know about your dogs behaviors and any special needs they may have. I especially need to know if they are reactive and if so what are their triggers.

A typical day

I love to play and stimulate dogs mentally and physically. I do this buy playing puzzle games with them and others where they have to smell to find their treats. I also enjoy training dogs for simple commands and with walking, and would love to continue any training you have with them at home! I also enjoy long walks especially on trails, I usually go around the green belt or great hills park. I have a trail head for the green belt right near my home too!

I work remotely so I am always home with the animals. I can easily go on morning, mid-day, and walks after 4:30 pm. And it is no big deal if a dog needs a potty break between my breaks because my job is flexible.
