Vet in the family! Love dogs!

Pet care experience

I take care of 2 old dogs myself so I understand the different needs a senior versus a young dog has. My mother is a veterinarian, so I have a lot of experience around animals and an eye to look out for basic symptoms.

Safety, trust & environment

I need to know upfront all that your pet specifically needs, the more specific the better. While there is no secret formula for taking care of animals, you know your animal the best, so knowing their idiosyncrasies and tailored needs helps me serve you and your pet!

Information Alexis S. would like to know about your pet

What places on their body they are uncomfortable with being touched. What objects are they afraid of (vacuums, their harnesses, small children). What are their physical limitations: Short walks, walks only in the shade, can they walk on concrete sidewalks, or only in soft grassy areas. What medicines are they on and when exactly should they be taken, and is the dog fussy about taking the meds. Does your dog have adverse reactions to certain types of people or environments (kids, screaming kids, people on bikes, crowded stores, cars/busy streets).

A typical day

I am near a large park with its own dog park section as well. That is a great place to take dogs, whether in the park or walk them on a leash on the paved pathways. I like doing enrichment walks, at your discretion, where I would work on the dogs' obedience. This takes longer, but still gives them a workout while helping them learn.

I am a college student taking classes all online right now, and I also work a mid-shift part-time job, so I am always available during regular feeding and walking times.
