I have known Alexis for 17 years and have always known her to be one of the most loving and caring people I have ever met and known. Throughout her adult years, she has shown that love by taking it upon herself to not only care for strays out on the street, but has even taken these strays in, given them a home and shown them the true meaning of love. She most recently adopted a beautiful Husky named Lola from a humane society. Upon adopting Lola, she realized she had really bad anxiety and was the one to help Lola overcome that anxiety & show her what love truly meant. When she would take Lola on walks, she would periodically run into other dog owners who didn’t understand why their pets would not listen or respond to them. Alexis would approach the owners and with their permission start talking to the dog, calming them & even get them to listen to her commands. She would offer the owners tips on how to get their pets to listen and teach them how to calm their anxieties. I can testify on her behalf because I too was one of those owners. When Alexis came to visit, my puppy would not listen, didn’t like taking walks on leashes and would periodically pee/poop in her kennel. After Alexis’ visit, my ButterCup now listens to commands, loves walks on the leash (she even allows my two-year-old to walk her), and no longer “marks” her kennel. This is not the only way in which I have seen her work. There were days in which we would sit outside conversating and I would see that she would interact with the stray cats in the neighborhood (they were basically congregating in my drive way awaiting to see her), the way the squirrels would listen to her when she spoke to them, as well as how the birds would sing back to her when she would speak to them. Some would say she is the real-life Snow White; some have asked if she is an animal whisperer, but if you ask me, I’ll tell you that she is the same girl I met 17 years ago, pouring her love out on all of these precious animals that normally wouldn’t get this type of love and affection from just any other human being. I truly hope you consider her for this position, not only will you be proud of your decision, you’ll love all of the positive feedback and rave reviews your clients will give you of her work.
