Vet Assistant-OUR PETS ARE OUR KIDS

Pet care experience

My love for dogs goes back to my childhood when I’d get in trouble for hoarding all sorts of strays in my room. I’ve always been a caretaker and I’m a real sucker for underdogs––no pun intended––okay, maybe a little. I actually love all animals and have extensive experience with cats, rodents, reptiles, you name it! I’m most joyful when I’m in the company of other living creatures, especially when they are up for some old-fashioned snuggle time, even on the go! Being around animals makes me feel connected to our natural world and gives me peace of mind. A dog and cat are part of my immediate family, and I swear they are like my children, just with four legs. They are both friendly and easy-going. I adore them with all of my heart, so much so, I’ve been working at a pet hospital as a Veterinary Assistant for about 2 years. In addition, I’m enrolled at Penn Foster to become a Veterinary Technician and have volunteered at a shelter in the past. Your furry companion will never be alone in my house, and reassured, your pup will be in very safe hands. I’m friendly and outgoing, and you can say I have a way with animals. I love new environments and meeting new people and their pets. There’s never a dull moment in my house because I believe in fun and laughter. What I love most about dogs is that they are all so unique, like their human counterparts. They each have their own bark, the way they strut, their colorful coats––each personality is different and I enjoy the process of getting to know each one. I am most excited about getting to spend time with all of the different dogs and getting a million kisses in the happy process.

Alexis was wonderful! We have 2 very different fur babies - one is a very calm (but super strong) 115 lb Cane Corso (Italian Mastiff) and the other is a fiery, high maintenance 15 lb Min Pin/Chihuahua mix. They both instantly loved her at our Meet & Greet (which is truly an act of God for the smaller one). Alexis kept us updated the entire time, and sent super cute photos every day. We returned from our trip to two very happy pups and our house was in the same shape that we left it in. We’ve already booked her for 2 more appointments!

This was my first "away" time from my babies and I was stressing about their care during my time away, but Alexis took outstanding care of them while I was gone and worked to ease my own stress by sending daily updates and pics. When I got back, it was obvious that my little sweethearts had been well taken care of and in really good spirits. They were very happy to see me, just as I was very happy to see them feeling they were well cared for by Alexis! Thanks for all your help!

It was our first time having Alexis take care of our fur baby. She treated her well and Lucy enjoyed the care and attention. We look forward to future care.

Information Alexis Y. would like to know about your pet

I insist on having important information regarding your pup’s behavior, health issues, likes/dislikes as well as do's/dont's so we can be sure that I’m the right person for your family’s needs, and that your pup will be comfortable and happy. I believe that excellent customer service begins with trust. I feel very strongly about providing updates every day, which will consist of pictures and videos so that you can be assured that your pup is in good hands, and also having a great time. I also like to make sure that your best friend is comfortable with me by scheduling meet and greets in person so that I have the chance to get acquainted with everyone involved. I always have a bunch of tasty treats and fun toys on me, so I’ll quickly figure out what your pup enjoys most. I do not have ANY breed restrictions––I love them all!

A typical day

Your pup and I will enjoy long daily walks at least twice a day so that we are both able to get out and enjoy the neighborhood together. There are many different dog parks that I know of and frequent, so your pup will get a lot of social time with other four-legged friends. I love playing fetch––sometimes I get more excited than my own dog! Your pup and I will also enjoy a couple of trails during her stay since I love nature, especially when I have a furry friend to keep me company. During my walks, I like to freestyle the trip, so there will never be a dull moment and your pup will always embark (sorry, another bad pun) on a great adventure with me!
