Highlights
Pet care experience
Animal lover!
I am new to the city and moved here to West Columbia for my husband’s job at the university. I love all animals and going on long walks by the river. I have a fenced yard right outside of my home where I can take dogs to play. For my clients home I will follow instructions for what they prefer for house rules and schedules for their pets. I am also very comfortable giving pets medication, I have a senior cat who takes multiple medications and I am also a registered nurse. 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.

Ratings and reviews
Rosie had a great time with them! They went above and beyond to care of our pup!

Going on vacation away from your pet can be difficult, but Alexis and Matthew made my weekend trip anxiety free. It was obvious that they have love for pets the moment I met them. My dog, who is rarely around males loved Matthew. They also sent pictures ever day to show that my dog was being cared for. When my dog had an issue, they let me know and were in constant communication with me. I highly recommend these two. They were reliable, responsible, loving, and communicative. 5 star individuals!

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!

Thank you so much, we really appreciate your flexibility. We are definitely bringing Ember again, I believe she was happy at your place and we appreciate the picture that you sent us :-)

Schedule
I have a very flexible adaptable schedule where I can easily fit in pet care throughout my day. I typically go on long mid morning and evening walks and I live a very active life style.

Safety, trust & environment
I like to stick to their home routine so they know what to expect. And incorporate a lot of play time to get them engaged and their energy out!

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 like to walk along the river walk since it is shaded and a little cooler in the heat. I am only a few minutes walk from the river!

- 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.
