Highlights
Pet care experience
From Whiskers to Paws
With extensive experience caring for both cats and dogs, I understand that every pet has a unique personality and individual needs. From playful puppies to wise senior dogs, and curious kittens to independent adult cats, I provide compassionate, personalized care for all. I offer extra patience and comfort to older pets, including assistance with mobility and special attention to their changing needs. As both a cat owner and a “fur momma” to an anxious dog, I’m skilled in managing the unique behaviors and preferences of cats, ensuring they feel safe and comfortable. I’m also experienced in administering oral and topical medications to both cats and dogs when needed. Recognizing signs of stress or anxiety comes naturally to me, allowing me to adjust care to keep pets calm and happy. Above all, I’m dedicated to providing loving, attentive care that feels like a true home away from home for your furry family members.

Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and well-being are my top priorities, whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours. I create a calm, secure, and pet-friendly environment where your furry friend can feel relaxed and happy. I respect your space and routines, following any specific instructions you provide to maintain consistency for your pet. I keep all areas safe and clean, ensuring food, water, and playtime are managed carefully. I’m attentive to any potential hazards and remove or avoid them to keep your pet safe.
Ratings and reviews
Alexis came every day, gave the cats their treats and took pictures, but lacked some attention to detail e.g. which cat was which. This wouldn't normally be a huge deal but only one cat gets supplements. Additionally food bowls and churu packages were left out, so we arrived home to both on the floor.
She was very nice and understanding! My cat had such an amazing time!
Alexis Z. cancelled a booking 3 days before it was scheduled to begin.
Alexis was great! I could not have asked for a better Rover to take care of my cats. She was very responsive, punctual, gave clear communication, and most importantly went above and beyond for the care of my pets. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for top notch pet care!
Alexis responded quickly to my booking request and messages. She was friendly and responsive and did a great job with my energetic collie mix. I appreciated her thorough notes on their walks and pictures. Alexis handled my pup with kindness and care and made sure he had food, water and toys per my instructions. She was very communicative. She did a great job; I definitely recommend her and will book again.
Alexis was fantastic! She kept us updated every day with pictures and info on how our two cats were doing. She’s very responsive to texts as well, which was so appreciated! This was my first time using rover and I’m so, so glad I connected with her! Definitely recommend and will be reaching out the next time we travel!

Schedule
As a teacher, my schedule offers a great balance that allows me to provide attentive and flexible pet care. During the school year, I have frequent breaks that give me extended availability to focus on your pets with dedicated time and care. On weekdays, I’m available in the late afternoons and evenings—perfect for dogs who need a walk or playtime after a busy day. I’m also free on weekends, which means I can offer consistent and reliable care when many others might be unavailable. Whether it’s daily visits, overnight stays, or longer-term pet sitting during holidays and breaks, I tailor my schedule to meet your pet’s needs and ensure they feel loved and well cared for.
