Animal whisperer seeking long walks

I can't remember a time in my life without animals. From the time I could walk, I was helping feed our dogs, clean critter cages, and trying to figure out what makes cats tick. Caring for our animals was never a chore—they were just family. As an adult I carried that forward into nannying, where I quickly became the go-to house and pet sitter for several families during vacations and international trips. I've looked after everyone from dogs to lizards to ducks, and I always take time to learn each animal's personality—what makes them comfortable, what makes them excited, and what makes them feel safe. I've also cleaned homes professionally, so I know how much the small details matter—clean counters, folded towels, a calm space to come home to. I take pride in leaving spaces better than I found them. Most of all, I understand that trusting someone with your home and pets is personal. I'll treat them with the same care I'd want for my own—and you'll always get cheerful updates, photos, and videos so you can feel close to them even while you're away.

Safety, trust & environment

Depending on your pet's needs, I love to take at least one good walk per day for doggies, cuddle on the couch or bed if the animals are allowed, and take time to do a little of what they love. I send one photo update per day for the first two weeks, then one photo every other day for the remainder of our time together. I'm grateful for home and pet care guides, and appreciate staying in good contact if you're available!

Alexis is awesome! Not only did she save us when our other sitter had an emergency on short notice, she was prompt, checked in with me the morning before the sit, is so friendly, kind and happy! Charlie loves her, Cooper was cautious but decided that she was great and actually slept with her! The house was spotless and she even washed and dried the sheets and towels for us! Communication was amazing! Both texts and photos! Can't wait to have her back in 2 weeks!

Alexis was AMAZING!!! I would have her come back and watch our boys in a heartbeat! ❤️ She took such incredible care of them for the entire 2 weeks we were away, and it was so obvious how happy, loved, and well cared for they were when we got home. Alexis checked in with me every single day and sent photos and updates, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She went above and beyond in every way, and I truly couldn’t have asked for a better person to care for our dogs. We even had an unfortunate pipe flood issue at the house while we were gone, and Alexis handled the whole situation so graciously and calmly. She cleaned everything up and dealt with the unexpected mess without hesitation, which was incredibly appreciated and honestly went WAY beyond what we ever could have expected from anyone. Alexis is responsible, kind, communicative, trustworthy, and clearly has so much love for animals. Our boys absolutely adored her, and knowing they were in such good hands made being away for two weeks so much easier. We will 100% be booking Alexis again and would recommend her to anyone looking for someone they can completely trust with their pets and home. 10/10 doesn’t even begin to cover it! 🐾❤️

Alexis is a wonderful person and an exceptional house + pet sitter! She sends frequent photos and updates, so I can rest assured my dog is comfortable and happy while I’m away. She is friendly, flexible, reliable, trustworthy, and tidy. She is my dog’s favorite sitter ♥️

I've seen Alexis care for a lot of dogs, including my own dog, Houston, and I would trust her completely with any pet. She's cared for Houston, a 90-lb Catahoula hound, walking him, feeding, brushing, playing toys with him and I've seen her give the same love and attention to every animal she meets. I've loved seeing how Alexis naturally connects with dogs and just enjoys their energy. Whenever we're out on walks, dogs seem drawn to her and will often come right up to greet her. She genuinely loves dogs, and they seem to sense that immediately. She's responsible, attentive, and really tunes in to each dog's personality and needs. When your pet is with Alexis, you can feel confident they're not just being looked after, they're being cared for by someone who truly enjoys being around animals and treats them with kindness and affection.

I've had many pet/house sitters, all of whom have been great, but of them all, Alexis was the best! I always have a pet sitter come a day or so early in order to meet them personally and show them the routine (and where the hiding spots are). Alexis was lovely, we couldn't stop talking...but most importantly proved herself to be extremely responsible. She forgot nothing; from watering plants to collecting mail plus she was great about sending reports and and photos of my pets while I was away. The house was neat and organized when I came home, and in fact, I invited Alexis to stay longer to attend a local festival. I feel I not only found an excellent pet sitter but I also found a friend. I would highly recommend Alexis to live in your home and care for your pets.
