Availability
I'm currently attending college online, so I'm almost always available during the week, except when I'm taking care of my own dogs. On weekends, I do market events, so I might not have as much availability throughout the day.

About Alexis R.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Your dog's comfort as well as yours are my top priorities, so I do require a meet and greet before any service I provide. This allows me to meet your pet and see their behavior before a service, and lets you see how your pet feels around me. I provide daily updates with pictures, with the ability to provide more frequent updates at your request. I also strictly follow any instructions and routines laid out for me regarding a pet's care.
Information Alexis R. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any special needs that need to be accounted for. As well as any behavior challenges like fearfulness, reactivity, resource guarding, or separation anxiety. I would also benefit from knowing if your pup has any food sensitivities or allergies to keep in mind.
A typical day
I prioritize sticking to a pet's already established routine to maintain a minimal amount of stress. But I do like to take dogs on adventures to local parks and dog friendly spots to sniff and explore, as well as give mental enrichment through puzzle feeders, enrichment toys, and low stakes training games when previously discussed with owners.

Pet care experience
I worked as a kennel tech for a dog trainer for 2 years and have been volunteering with a dog rescue that saves abused and neglected dogs for the past 6 years. These experiences, as well as raising my own dogs, have given me the knowledge to work with most dogs, but my passion is working with fearful, anxious, and reactive dogs. Working on their time to gain their trust is my specialty and passion. I have experience working through basic obedience, counter conditioning, confidence building, muzzle training, gear shyness, and cooperative care. I also have experience working with dogs that require more intensive care due to feeding routines (such as making homemade food or strict feeding schedules with medications) and grooming maintenance (frequent or routine baths due to coat type or skin conditions). Know that under my care, your pup will be with someone who understands them as an individual and can meet them where they are at.
Reviews
Alexis is amazing, and we truly appreciate the wonderful care she gives our boys every time she watches them. She consistently does a great job, and we will definitely keep rebooking with her.
Alexis is amazing and always checks in when we are out of town!
This is our 2nd time using Alexis! Not only do our animals love her, she sends updates and pictures let alone is just the sweetest! Will always use her when she’s available!
I can't say enough good things about Alexis! She stayed with our three dogs for two nights, and she was absolutely fantastic. She was incredibly attentive, especially with their medication needs, and she really understood our shepherd and pitbull, who are usually a bit uneasy with new people. We came home to happy, calm pups, and we are definitely planning to rebook with her in the future. She also kept us updated on how everyone was doing and provided pictures. Highly recommend her!!!!
