Vet assistant, home full time!

Pet care experience

I'm a former veterinary assistant who is looking for a few dog walking/pet sitting clients. My life's work is committed to making the lives of animals better. I've worked in both wildlife and pet hospitals and have spent the past ten years rehabilitating and rehoming orphaned kittens. I volunteer for numerous animal rescues. I'm friendly and reliable. I know spending time with your dog is about more than giving them a chance to do their business and stretch their legs. It's a chance to play, and sniff, and use their brains, and receive copious pets, and be told they're wonderful and worthy of love. Sometime's it's an opportunity for a good brushing, too. In addition to being great with dogs, I also am a cat whisperer and have experience with lots of exotic pets. This includes: Reptiles, amphibians, song birds, and aquariums. If you have another pet in the house who needs care also, please feel free to ask.

Alexis was a fantastic dog/house sitter for Cocoa over the Thanksgiving week. She sent much appreciated pictures and videos of cocoa having fun everyday, which helped greatly with my separation anxiety! She took cocoa to her favorite cafes and spoiled her with lots of treats (which I encouraged). I returned to a very happy/healthy dog and a house that was just as I'd left it, if not a bit cleaner. I will certainly be checking with Alexis for my next trip!

Alexis is very thoughtful and respectful to my dog’s needs. She is so sweet and brushed my dog’s shedding coat while over for a pee break. My dog warmed up to her right away and enjoyed the time outside.

Amazing woman! My dog, Chip, liked her and throughly enjoyed her company. She is very kind and helpful, and I will definitely rebook again!
