Loving Care When U Can’t Be There🐾

About Me 🐾 Hi! I’m Alexis — a dedicated pet sitter, lifelong animal lover, and volunteer at PAWS Chicago. Caring for animals has always been a natural part of my life, from dogs and cats to small pets like guinea pigs. With over 8 years of experience as a small-pet owner and hands-on experience with dogs of all temperaments, I understand that every animal has their own personality, needs, and comfort level. My approach is simple: create a safe, calm, and positive environment for every pet in my care. Every pet is different, so I adjust my approach to whatever makes yours feel most relaxed, confident, and at ease. When it comes to medications, I’m happy to administer them as long as they can be mixed into food and your pet is already used to this method. At this time, I do not give oral medications directly or handle injections (such as insulin), but I am open to learning to do so if you’re able to walk me through your pet’s routine to ensure everything is done safely and comfortably. At home, I have a sweet and sassy 2-year-old Pomeranian who loves company. He can be vocal when first meeting new dogs, but he settles quickly once he’s had time to sniff, observe, and get comfortable. To ensure the best fit for boarding, I always schedule a 15–30 minute meet-and-greet so both pups can get to know each other at their own pace. Their safety and comfort mean everything to me. Whether you’re booking walks, drop-ins, or overnight care, my goal is to make your pet feel understood, cared for, and genuinely loved. I treat every animal like they’re part of my own family. I’m excited to meet your furry friend and give them the attention they deserve 🐶🐱💛

Safety, trust & environment

I treat every pet and home with respect and care. In your space, I follow instructions closely and create a calm, reassuring environment for your pet. In my home, I offer a clean, pet-friendly space with a fully fenced-in yard for safe, supervised outdoor play. I never leave animals unsupervised—whether inside or out. You’ll receive regular updates so you can feel confident your pet is safe, comfortable, and cared for.

I booked Alexis for the first time as a new dog mom and couldn’t be happier to have met her! I was nervous to leave my dog, but Alexis’ experience and calm energy put me at ease right away. She provides updates and photos , which was so helpful. Will be using Alexis again

Alexis was very understanding of the puppy phase! She genuinely wanted to learn our routine to continue working on good habits. Communication was excellent throughout sitting experience.

When submitting a booking: Please let me know how I will access your home. Will I need to pick up keys ahead of time, do you have a lockbox, or are there any entry codes I should know about? I also appreciate any information that will help me provide the best care for your pet. This can include their daily routine, quirks or triggers, medication needs, reactivity, anxiety, feeding instructions, or any special accommodations. The more I know upfront, the smoother and more comfortable the experience will be for your pet. My goal is always to create a safe, calm, and happy environment so your pet feels cared for and relaxed while you’re away.
