Availability
Normally when I pet sit I like to meet with the pet parents to go over details to make sure their buddies are as comfortable as possible and can continue following their routine. I do work 4 days out of the week each week but I dedicate my lunch period between noon and 2pm to check in on the fur babies so they’d not be alone any longer than 4 hours at a time during the day and typically I spend nights with them so they’d aren’t lonely while I'd spend my weekends fully with them.

Safety, trust & environment
Depending on the pets schedule I like to stick to it as much as possible. I know when their schedule breaks it can be very upsetting for them and cause stress. I like to take dogs out for walks during their potty breaks too as much as possible unless there’s restriction so they’d have a chance to explore and keep their minds active. If allowed I like to take pets out for walks and/or runs to expel energy. Feeding schedules are usually as owner requests as well. With snacks in between if granted.
Information Alexis S. would like to know about your pet
Please, in advance let me know if your pet has any special needs and/or if they are taking any medications. Pet temperaments are always good to know too so I know what my limits are and what pets and pet parents aren't comfortable with.
A typical day
I love being outside so anytime I can take a pet out for a fun adventure we have a blast. I've taken dogs for beach runs and pet stores where they can pick out a fun toy as well. For cats a laser toy to play with is never far out of reach. I've taken leashed trained cats out for exploration as well and encourage activities such as hiding treats where they have to find them or teaching new tricks. During the wind down times lots of pets and cuddles are shared.

Love all the toe-beans!
Pet care experience
I’ve always had a passion working with animals. Since growing up I’ve always had dogs as my babies. I work as a veterinary assistant and that’s how I started building my clientele for petsitting on the side. Pet parents needed someone to come check in during the day, stay nights, and administer medications. I love all dogs and cats big and small. I’ve also helped care for reptiles and birds. I'm a good dog handler and feel like I can read pets well. I've helped support senior pets who are not able to get around very well using back support harnesses and leashes and exhibit lots of patience and care when it comes to my work.

Alexis did an amazing job taking care of our boy and even went the extra mile to trim his nails and brush his teeth! He was happy and well fed when we returned :)
