Trusted & Compassionate Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

With over a decade of hands-on pet care experience, I have cared for both cats and dogs, raising them separately and together. I specialize in senior pet care, including administering medication, and have trained puppies in manners and potty training. Additionally, I am certified in nail trimming through Paragon’s Nails and Ears Technician Program, ensuring safe and stress-free nail trim. What makes me a great dog sitter is my deep understanding of canine behavior, patience, and commitment to providing a safe and loving environment. I tailor my approach to meet each pet’s unique needs. I prioritize trust, consistency, and communication with pet owners, ensuring peace of mind while their furry friends are in my care. My goal is to create a positive, stress-free experience for both dogs and their owners.

Alexis is always so good to our Tucker! He adores her! I know she will always go above and beyond for our boy! Shes dog sat for us twice now, and if I say “Alexis is coming” his ears lift up! Alexis thank you for loving and taking such good care of our boy!

I have two cats, Lily and Midi, both of whom were strays that Alexis rescued from the streets. She not only helped me get them settled but also made sure they had everything they needed to thrive. Since then, she’s become like an aunt to them, always showing them love and care. Whenever I have to go out of town, I have complete peace of mind knowing they’re in good hands with her. I highly recommend Alexis to anyone looking for a responsible and compassionate pet sitter!

I can't recommend Alexis enough as a pet caregiver! She genuinely loves animals and treats my pets like her own. She's responsible, patient, and always goes the extra mile to make sure my babies are happy and well cared for. They always get excited when she comes over - knowing they'll get all kinds of goodies. If you're looking for someone who will give your pet lots of love and attention, Alexis is the perfect choice!

Safety, trust & environment

Whether in my home or yours, I prioritize safety, comfort, and trust to ensure your pet feels secure and happy. Though I live in an apartment, I have a dedicated, cozy space where your pet can feel at home. I provide scheduled potty breaks and walks (weather permitting) while keeping their routine consistent. Extra treats and toys will be available, but I also take great care to respect and protect any belongings you provide. If I’m caring for your pet in your home, I will follow their daily routine to minimize stress and ensure their comfort. I treat every home with respect, leaving it just as I found it. I’m happy to provide regular updates and photos so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. My goal is to create a safe, loving environment where your pet feels cared for, whether at home or away

Information Alexis S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs, dietary restrictions, or specific routines to follow. If they have favorite toys, comfort items, or special phrases they respond to, I’d love to incorporate those into their care to make them feel right at home. I’m also happy to provide regular photo updates so you can see how they’re doing at any time!

A typical day

Each day is tailored to the unique needs and personality of the pets in my care! For high-energy dogs, our day may include exciting park adventures, interactive playtime, and refreshing walks to keep them engaged and happy. For pups who prefer a more relaxed experience, we’ll enjoy fun indoor games, gentle enrichment activities, and cozy pampering sessions with treats and a soothing brush. My goal is to ensure every pet feels comfortable, loved, and entertained throughout their stay!

Pet care is a top priority in my daily and weekly routine. I am available throughout the week and on weekends, with the exception of Wednesdays, when I have prior commitments. I strive to be as flexible as possible to accommodate pet owners' needs. To ensure the best care and scheduling, I kindly ask for a few days' notice before finalizing any bookings. This allows me to plan accordingly and provide the highest level of attention and care for your pet.
