Availability
I work from home the majority of the week, so I'm present and available throughout most days. I'm typically in office one to two days a week — usually Wednesdays and/or Thursdays — for roughly 8 hours. Outside of those days, I'm home and attentive during business hours and fully available on evenings and weekends.

About Alexis W.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fully fenced yard, a one-story layout with no stairs to navigate — especially important for senior or mobility-limited dogs — and gate separation available so visiting dogs can be in the mix while still having their own space. Crates are available if needed. I keep pet cameras throughout the home so I can monitor remotely on the rare occasion I'm out. All dogs have dedicated feeding stations and I'm happy to accommodate varying meal times and dietary needs. Animal CPR documentation is posted in the home, an emergency vet is less than a mile away, and I have reliable transportation should anything come up.

Information Alexis W. would like to know about your pet
I send all new clients a detailed intake form prior to their stay covering medications and supplements, feeding schedules, behavioral notes and triggers, mobility considerations, emergency contacts, vet information, and anything else that helps me care for your dog the way you would. The more I know going in, the better. Dogs with reactivity, anxiety, medical needs, or special routines are very welcome — that's exactly what I'm here for.
A typical day
We're an active household! Mornings start with a walk and park session, and throughout the day we mix in treat puzzles, lick mats, and indoor enrichment. We have plenty of play options — balls, frisbee, flirt pole — and a midday walk is always on the schedule. We love exploring different neighborhoods for new smells and sights, and Westcrest Park plus several other great spots are all close by. Evenings bring one or two more walks to wind down, and yes — car rides are absolutely on the table. Rest and downtime are just as valued, especially for senior guests who need a good nap between adventures.

Pet care experience
I've loved and cared for dogs for 20+ years — and it's the senior and high-needs ones that have shaped me most as a caretaker. I've worked professionally as a dog walker and sitter, volunteered on a farm tending to sheep, pigs, and cows, and have logged years of animal care across a wide variety of contexts. My focus and true passion is senior and high-needs dogs. I currently care for Momo, my 11-year-old mini poodle rescue, who requires daily medication, mobility support, and consistent patience with separation anxiety rooted in past trauma. I'm fully comfortable managing medication schedules, specialized diets, and the kind of attentive, adaptive care that older or more complex dogs require. I also guided my previous dog, an Old English Sheepdog, through her full senior journey — including dementia-informed reactivity, significant mobility challenges, and all the nuanced day-to-day care that came with loving a big dog through her final chapter. I share my home with two poodles: Momo, and Stormy — a big, friendly 7-year-old standard who loves meeting new dogs and is equally happy to give them space if that's what they need. Stormy splits his time between my home and family nearby, so his presence varies by stay. I now work from home in a different field, and pet care is my way of staying connected to the animals I love. Your dog gets calm, present, unhurried attention from someone who is genuinely home — and genuinely invested. Senior dogs, anxious dogs, and dogs who need a little extra are especially welcome here!
