Pet care experience
I received my first puppy at age 6 and since then, my passion and love for dogs has grown every single day. At age 8, I started my own dog walking/bathing company. After college, I worked with a dog walking/pet sitting company, while at the same time grew my own network of dog families looking for someone to care for their dogs. I moved to Bend in April 2020 and currently live in SE Bend with 3 dogs, 1 cat, 10 chickens, and 2 pigs (and lots of house plants!). My favorite part of each day is caring and interacting with all my animals. Today, I have loved, cared, snuggled, played, walked, bathed, hiked, taken on car rides, and given belly rubs to more than 100 dogs. I've looked after a 2-pound teacup Yorkie, a 150-pound Newfoundland, and everything else in between. There's no dog too big, small, flurry, young, old, reactive, or energetic for me, as each unique personality is what makes a dog their own special member of a family.
Reviews
Alexis goes above and beyond- and like the postal service isn’t deterred by bad weather. My pups love and appreciate her great care.
Alexis was a fantastic dog sitter. Very responsible and kind. Sophie loved her!
My dog instantly loved Alexis. She was on-time and a great communicator and I felt safe having her take my dog out.
My dog Hank LOVES Alexis, so it was a no-brainer to ask her to walk him while I was out of town for 12 days. It gave me such peace of mind knowing he was getting regular exercise with one of his favorite people. I will always book Alexis for pet sitting, walks— anything!

Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Safety is always first. This includes things such as taking extra care when opening/closing doors, crossing the street when walking reactive dogs, and making sure they don’t get into anything they shouldn’t (especially puppies). A safe and healthy pet is a happy pet and makes for a happy owner. I will always leave your home cleaner than when you left and will treat your pet as if they were my own.
Information Alexis V. would like to know about your pet
I do not have any breed preferences. Before caring for you pup, I would like to know how they interact with other dogs/people, if they have any allergies, and if they're sensitive to anything in particular (bicycles, skateboards, certain sounds). This helps me understand how I can make my time with your dog the most enjoyable it can be while you're away!
A typical day
Daily activities depend on your dog and their personality and preferences. If you have a puppy who loves everyone and everything and his favorite time is spent rolling around with his dogs friends, we may go to the dog park. If you have a high energy dog who likes a bit more of a serene setting, we'll go on a hike or down to the river. If your best friend is more low-key, we'll go on a walk through the neighbor or for a stroll in the park. Photos, videos, and updates are always sent throughout our time together!

Availability
I’m currently in school and working part-time. The longest I’m away from your pet on any given day would be 6-8 hours, though this is only a couple days of the week. Most days I'll be able to hang with your pet all day with the exception of a couple short two-hour breaks once or twice a day. My schedule can be flexible so please let me know your preferences and I’ll work with you to accommodate you and your loved ones.
