Home Full-Time, Active Hiker/Walker

Pet care experience

I have had pets all my life and have even had six at one time! I work from home which means I can easily tend to your loved ones before work, during my lunch break, and after work. On my days off (Thursday through Saturday), I can take your pups to visit a dog park or go on a hike as long as the weather isn't too hot for them. I love pets of all shapes, sizes, and personalities! I have experience with all types of dogs ranging from a Miniature Pinscher to an English Mastiff. I have taken care of my 16 year old Lhasa Bichon who required daily medication until she passed away and my parents blind Maltese Poodle so I am very familiar with senior and special needs dogs. I also have extensive experience with timid and shy pets. If you choose to have me watch your pet(s), I will customize the experience based on what you want! I know how important it is to know that your dogs are in good hands and are happy while you're away. I am available 24/7 by phone call or text and can send daily updates (with photos!) if that is something you'd prefer.

Alexis is wonderful! My Gracie was well taken care of my last recent trip. Felt very confident having Alexis watching over my house and best friend.

This was our first time to use Rover and we couldn't be more pleased! Prior to our trip, Alexis came over to meet the dogs, leaving us with a great impression of her. While we were away, we received updates and photos which allowed us to enjoy our trip without worry. The house was clean and tidy upon our return and the dogs were happy and healthy. Alexis was patient with our "first-time anxiety" and carefully followed the detailed instructions we left. She certainly understands that pets are family!

Information Alexis R. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know everything that is important to both you and your pet! What kind of treats do they like? Are bully rubs their favorite? Do they like to have the TV left on while they sleep? Do they hate walks and would prefer to just lounge around all day? Anything and everything that you can provide will be helpful to their experience! I do not have any breed restrictions.

A typical day

I am 100% flexible if there is something, in particular, your pet enjoys doing! I love taking my dogs to the dog park and we frequently go on hikes and walks. I also enjoy taking them to dog-friendly events and restaurants.
