Disponibilité
My availability is from 9am-5pm Monday-Thursday, Fridays from 8am-3pm. On Fridays, my 5 year old is home with me and will likely accompany me to drop-ins. She is dog savvy (for her age) and is respectful of dogs and cats, but since she is small I can only visit cats and well-mannered pups!

À propos de Alexus B.
Compétences avec les chiens
Sécurité, confiance et environnement
I am a fan of cooperative techniques. I would rather spend 15 minutes strategizing how to entice "Fluffy" back in their crate than try to force them. For potty visits, I prefer to clip a long drag line to the dogs harness or collar- just in case they don't respond to a recall from me, or if there is any chance at all they might make a break for it! That way, we can still play and have fun, but with a safe guard in place. For walks, I will always want to specify if you are wanting a structured walk or a sniffari, or a combination. Structured walking is only available to dogs that already know how to walk on a loose leash. If you are interested in loose leash walking, that is something we can work on! For feeding or medications, I will need exact instructions! How much food, what you use to measure it (example: 1 full scoop with the blue cup on the counter, 8oz raw thawed in fridge, fill up the black kong, etc), and amount of supplements or extras. For oral meds, please specify if it needs to be "hidden" and what to hide it in (wet food, pb, etc.)
Informations que Alexus B. aimerait connaître au sujet de votre animal domestique
Do all the animals in the house get along? Is anyone a flight risk? Does your dog prefer soft-spoken reassuring words, or squeaky exciting words? What are their favorite toys or games? Do they have special equipment to put on before going outside (boots or coat, a certain harness or collar, muzzle, etc.)? What is off-limits (foods/treats, certain areas of the house or neighborhood, any activity restrictions, etc.)? Will they try to pull a "fast one" on me that I should be aware of (chewing on something they shouldn't, digging the yard, darting out the door, etc.)? Any quirks I should know about (they like to carry around a shoe but they don't destroy it, they can't have toys in their crate, etc.)
Une journée type
Upon arrival, dogs will be pottied first. After that "work" is done, we can play some fetch, tug, and/or brain games such as "find it!" If requested, we could do some light training. I often make up silly songs to sing to them! I plan to spend 30-60 minutes per visit- time to potty, play, feed and water, and potty again. If extra time is required we can work that out!

Expérience en matière de services dédiés aux animaux de compagnie
Hi, I'm Lexie. I am high-masking autistic, which for me means that I look and sound pretty "normal" but my brain is structured differently. My special interest is dogs! Mainly behavior but also history, breeds, care... Anything dog. I am a dog-trainer-in-training currently pursuing certifications that will help me teach dogs with behavioral issues that the world is ok! I am experienced with multi-dog homes that need "crate and rotate" care, "hands off" care, puppy care, and if you leave instructions I could do just about anything- I am not bothered by reptiles, amphibians, non-flying (pet or feeder) bugs, although I am nervous of birds. I'm very detail oriented. My background in home healthcare ensures that your home and pet(s) will be respected, and I am comfortable administering oral or topical medications.

Avis
Alexus' love of animals truly comes through in how she treats and understands caring for them. She went above and beyond with my special needs dog. 100% recommend! You will not be disappointed!
Lexie really cares , and doesn’t back down from challenges! She has a sweet and understanding heart with a gentle affectionate nature ! She walks my dogs every weekend while I’m away for training. They are always well cared for and loved when she comes over ! She cleans up after them and has done more than I could have even expected ! I wouldn’t hesitate to hire her every time I need some quality time with my babies !
Alexus is the best pet sitter I have ever had. She is willing to stay at my home if needed or just stop in and check on the wellbeing of my animals. I have never been concerned about my pets when she is available to care for them. She has even been successful at giving medication when my pets have been sick. My dogs and cat just love her.
