Top dog for your fourlegged friends

Pet care experience

I’ve been working with animals of all kinds for over 10 years. I’ve owned everything from furry, fethered, scaled and everything in between! Need help with your pets? I’m the pet smart girl you’ll want! I began my work with animals at a young age. I had guinea pigs, rats, dogs and cats. I’ve also owned birds, fish, and reptiles to name a few. I rode horses for over 7 years, worked as a stable hand for 2, and even had a pet chicken at one point! So if it’s involving anything with paws, claws, hoofs or talons then I’ve got your back! I dont just limit myself to dogs and cats so I’m more than happy to help you with whatever you own! I used to volunteer at anderson animal shelter when I was in middle school, transitioned to assisting at vet clinics and eventually graduated from college specializing in microbiology. I moved into sales within the pet industry, specializing in pet care and pet products within retail. I did that for 2 years, but eventually found myself using my microbiology and parasitology knowledge working in a veterinary diagnostics lab where I help diagnose your fourlegged friends when they’re sick so the vet can help prescribe them what they need! With a friend I used to work under as a dog walker and sitter for awhile out of the campton hills/st charles area, but have decided to try pursuing my own independent path within this industry. Know your pet will be in great hands when you choose me for all your pet sitting and walking needs! When you pick me for pet sitting know your home will be in great hands. I house sat during my time with my friend’s company, and during those times I made sure the homes were tidy, pets had access to fresh water and walks daily. Made sure feeding times were consistent and spent over an hour playing and exercising each pet to make sure they were as enriched as possible while their owners were away. I will always get the mail so it doesn’t pile up and if it’s garbage day don’t worry about the trash. I’ll take it out for you. Enjoy your vacation and know your baby will be comfortable at home waiting for you to return! If pet walking is what you’re looking for then I'm still the girl for you! No matter the size, breed or species I’m always up for a walk, and I know your dog, cat, horse, lizard, or whatever fourlegged baby you want me to walk will be too! If you have a dog park pass no problem! Im more than happy to take your pups to the dog park to play or for a car ride as well! If your dog is dog friendly my own fur baby is always up for a playdate! She loves other dogs! I look forward to hearing from you soon! Until then!

Alexis is so sweet with my puppy. She is super attentive and my little terminator loves to play with her. I recommend her for all your pet’s needs, specially if you have a very active dog.

I am very attentive to instructions. Your pets safety and care are my priority so if they have to stay leashed then they stay leashed. Only allowed in the backyard? Then that is where they go.

Information Alexis R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know what needs your pets have. Do they take medications? Eat certain foods? Require training? I love when owners provide instructions or itineraries as well because I can make sure your pet gets what they need.

A typical day

I love taking them around the neighborhood. Let them take in new smells and soak in the sunshine! Car ride to the pier? Yes please! Day at the park? Of course! Sometimes even just a playtime in the backyard is what they need and I am here for it! So just let me know what your furry friend needs and we can work from there!
