I'm Chip & I'm new to Boston!:)

Pet care experience

I am a recent college graduate who just moved to Boston from Atlanta and am looking for new clients!! My nickname is Chip and I have been pet sitting for 4 years now and love it! Growing up, we have always had a dog in the house and I honestly don't think a house is a home without them. My first experience with a puppy was 5 years ago when my mom adopted her dog at 6-weeks which I helped raise and train. I have the most experience with animals between the ages of 2-8. I have taken care of senior dogs, too, and am well versed in their needs. If your animal has to take pills or receive eye drops, I'm skilled in that area as well.

Alexis was wonderful. She followed their instructions step by step. When we got home the house looks the same ways we left it. Diffinially we will contract her again

Chip was so great taking Mae on several walks over the weekend! She was great at communicating how the walk went (my dog has reactivity and Chip works well and does the various training things we are using to calm her down in stressful environments) and taking hilarious photos of my pup. Mae was very happy to see her again. Thanks so much!

Chip was such an incredible pet sitter! She cared for our dog (1 year) and bunny (6 years) and was excellent about adhering to our house and pet rules. This is the first time I've hired a pet sitter and she was great about settling my nerves, responding to texts, and taking care of both animals. She very clearly loves working with animals and ensuring they have lots of fun and love while in her care. Would absolutely work with her again and recommend her to anyone.

Alexis did a fantastic job house-sitting for our bunny, Tabitha! We were quite nervous about leaving our bunny--it was the first time we had done so--and were very happy and relieved to find someone like Alexis who is so kind, intelligent, organized, and trustworthy. Tabitha has some pretty specific care needs, particularly with diet, and Alexis followed our instructions to an absolute T. She was also punctual to every meeting I had with her and was super responsive and easy to communicate with. When we were away she sent us the exact right amount of updates to let us know Tabitha was doing well. She was also very respectful of our home; I swear it looked better than when we left it. I will definitely book Alexis again whenever we leave town and would recommend her very very highly!

Safety, trust & environment

I love detailed instructions left by pet owners and I follow them by the book. I do prefer to stay with the pets at their homes as I find this makes them feel the most comfortable. If you would like to board your pet with me, they must be potty trained and like/be indifferent to cats.

Information Alexis R. would like to know about your pet

It is very important to me to know about the conditions or behaviors of your dog. The good, bad, or ugly I take it all in stride and I find it's better to know than to not.

A typical day

If you have a backyard, I love to play ball or frisbee with the dogs. If they are dog friendly, I'm more than happy to take them to a dog park and let them run around there. If they are physically able, I always walk the dogs I take care of for a minimum of 20 minutes twice a day (but can always do it for more a/o longer if asked).
