About Alexis W.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in a client's home, I follow a similar comprehensive approach. I maintain the pet's routine as closely as possible, minimizing any disruptions to their familiar surroundings. This includes adhering to feeding schedules, maintaining hygiene, and administering any necessary medications. Regular communication with the pet owner keeps them updated on their companion's well-being and provides peace of mind.
Information Alexis W. would like to know about your pet
Knowing important details about a dog ahead of time is essential for providing proper care and ensuring their safety and well-being. This includes information about their breed, size, health history, temperament, training, dietary needs, exercise requirements, socialization skills, triggers or fears, grooming needs, comfort zones, emergency contacts, house rules, leash preferences, favorite toys, and comfort items. Tailoring your care based on these factors ensures a positive and comfortable experience for the dog while respecting their individuality.
A typical day
I thoroughly enjoy tailoring my time with the dogs I watch to their unique personalities and preferences. For the energetic pups, there's nothing better than heading to the local dog park where they can socialize with their furry friends, romp around, and burn off their excess energy. On quieter days, I opt for serene hikes through nature trails, allowing more introspective dogs to revel in the sights and scents of the outdoors. When it's playtime, I make sure to have a variety of activities on hand. Some canines are absolute fetch enthusiasts, so I'm always armed with balls and frisbees for them to chase. For those who thrive on mental challenges, interactive toys and puzzle games provide hours of engrossing entertainment. Understanding that each dog has its own preferences, I adapt my approach to ensure that every furry companion enjoys our time together to the fullest.

Availability
Navigating the responsibilities of being a working college student while maintaining a high standard of pet care requires a finely tuned balance in my daily and weekly routine. Each morning, before diving into my studies or heading to work, I ensure my pet's needs are met, whether it's a morning walk, feeding, or a bit of playtime. Throughout the day, I manage my schedule to accommodate quick check-ins and short breaks for potty breaks or mental stimulation. Evenings are dedicated to quality bonding time, longer walks, and focused play sessions to keep my pet engaged and content. Weekends provide the opportunity for extended adventures, reinforcing the deep bond we share. My commitment to pet care seamlessly integrates with my academic and professional pursuits, exemplifying my dedication to both my education and the well-being of my furry companion.
