Experienced & Loving Sitter/Walker!

Pet care experience

I have a business degree and a law degree. I work from home and have been involved with animal rights for many years. I relocated from the bayarea to Sunny Modesto to start a family. Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog lover since I was a child... my first pet was a German Shepard named Bear. Meet my pets I have two rescue dogs who are very loving. I also have previous experience with large rescue dogs. I have completed the advanced training offered by the SPCA and my first job out of business school was for A Lucky Dog a startup. About my yard I have a fenced backyard and a great covered area. I usually have the back door open so they can stroll in and out. It is secure enough so my 5lb pup can't escape. I don't crate the animals and they have free rage of most of the house. My experience administering medication Yes but no injections.

Cooper loved staying with Alexis and her family! They treated him like one of the fam. I know Cooper loved laying in their backyard and playing with all their toys. Thank you Alexis for taking such great care of him!

We booked our stay to begin at 11:30am. At 11:10am we received a text from Alexis asking if we were on our way because she was getting ready to leave. This gave me an uneasy feeling as I wondered where she might be going when she had committed to sitting my baby all day. I asked her if she would be with my puppy the entire time and she assured me she would. When I returned to pick up my puppy I knocked on the door and a man answered and a small black dog bolted out the door towards the street. At first I thought it was my dog until the man started calling the dog by another name. Alexis was not home and I asked where my dog was. As the man came running out of the house to chase down his dog. When Alexis arrived she said she had to run out for a minute to get her mom some medication and that my puppy was locked in her back room. I understand that things happen, but I paid for this sitter so my baby wouldn't have to be alone, which she ended up being anyway when Alexis left her. I am not happy at all.

I'm so happy with the care Alexis gave to my dog Sophie. I could tell because my dog loves her. Alexis currently visits my dog while im at work. Her home is perfect for overnight stays

Information Alexis W. would like to know about your pet

I just want to see what their recall is and I want specific directions about their diet. I also want the number to the vet in case of an emergency. I like to see if they are food aggressive and I feel their paws to check their contact comfort. It is also important that the have their favorite toy or two and something from their house so they feel at home.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks I go on a 1.8 mile walk everyday. The dog will be leashed. I also take dog to Fort Funston but only with dogs I have watched before with good recall. Sometimes there are issues with other dogs. Your dog's sleeping arrangement In my room or on my bed. If the dog is crate trained then they will be in a crate in my room. Depends what the dog is used to Time I'll spend with your dog I'm home most of the day.
