Pet care experience
I have been working professionally with animals since I was 10 years old. Starting with an animal sanctuary that brought in abused or abandoned animals, ranging from horses, to cows, and to dogs. My main job was to aid in rehabilitation and be a primary care giver to these animals. I was able to have the animals trust in people again, as well as become healthier. My other experience in animal care was working at the local animal shelter as a kennel cleaner for dogs and cats, as well as helping with adoptions. With this aspect I was able to work with the animals individually to understand them and best pair them with a family. This is easier said than done since many animals were fearful, but it was rewarding in the end. I still pet set for family and friends when they are gone for long weekends. Typically with dog sitting I do not stay at the house, but I will stay as long as needed to help the pets relax.
Reviews
Alexis was great with my dog Roy. She took him on walks and made sure he got lots of attention. I think Roy had a great time with Alexis
Alexis is absolutely amazing with animals! She is my first choice when I need someone to walk and care for my dog! She has no problem watching Bella for an hour or even a week! Bella is always excited to see Alexis and knows she is going to have a great time! Alexis has been a blessing! She is reliable, trustworthy and will update me when I’m out of town which is always comforting. I cannot express how awesome Alexis has been; you'll just have to see for yourself!!!!

Safety, trust & environment
I always make sure the pets are comfortable with me during meet and greets with the owner present. During my time with the pet I will remain calm and confident in the area until the pet realizes I’m not a threat
Information Alexis S. would like to know about your pet
I do like to know the breeds of the dogs, because that helps me gauge their personality that is linked. I would also like to know any normal behaviors that may seem odd to others (I.e. rearranging objects like shoes or blankets). Also how the pets handle to new people.
A typical day
I typically like to walk in their neighborhood since it is a location that the dogs know, but if there are particular parks that the pets go to than I am able to take them there.
