Pet care experience

Your Pet’s New Best Friend🐾

Hi! I’m Lex. I grew up surrounded by animals of all kinds, so caring for them has always been second nature to me. From dogs and cats to reptiles and other unique pets, I’m comfortable, confident, and genuinely enjoy spending time with them all. I believe every animal deserves patient, attentive care and a calm environment where they feel safe. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, routine, and little quirks so they stay comfortable when you are away. Whether it’s an energetic dog that needs exercise, a cuddly cat that wants company, or reptiles that require more specialized care, I’m happy to help. Animals have always been a huge part of my life, and I truly love them all even the slobbery ones. I’m reliable, very detail oriented, and treat every pet like they’re my own. My goal is for you to feel completely at ease knowing your pets are safe, happy, and well cared for. Feel free to reach out with any questions I’d love to meet you and your pets! 🐾

Elexus and her mom took great care of our dog while we were away. Spotty enjoyed his time with them and didn’t want to leave. Elexus kept us posted with pictures throughout his stay. Glad we found a sitter we can trust for future travels.

Elexus is awesome! She has come in a few times a week for the last year and half. My pups were always happy and satisfied when I came home. They always had fresh water and a full dish. We’re sad about her moving but so excited for her new adventure.

My schedule is very flexible especially on the weekends. I'm open for early morning, mid day or a sunset walk (my personal fav) or even a visit to the dog park whatever your preference is.

Safety, trust & environment

I'm only looking to offer care in clients homes at this time. I ask for a schedule/routine to be left so I can continue with the norm and stay consistent on whatever training you may be working on as well. (Meet and greets are also very helpful)

Pets

A typical day

Walks around the neighborhood or getting outside for some fresh air. Playing fetch, tug-of-war, or just running around and burning some energy. I also love doing little enrichment games or practicing basic commands to keep dogs mentally stimulated. For cats, I’m happy to do playtime with toys, hang out with them, or just give them some company if they’re more independent. I’m also comfortable caring for reptiles feeding, checking their habitat, and making sure everything is clean and running properly. Honestly, I just enjoy spending time with animals. Whether they’re energetic and playful or more laid-back and cuddly, I’m happy to match their vibe… even the slobbery ones. 🐾

Before caring for your pet, I like to know a few details so I can make sure they’re comfortable and safe while you’re away. Things like their daily routine, feeding schedule, energy level, and any medications or health needs are really helpful. I also like to know about their personality whether they’re shy, super social, nervous around new people, or have any triggers (other dogs, loud noises, etc.). If they have favorite toys, treats, or places they like to sleep, that’s great to know too. For reptiles or other specialty pets, details about their habitat setup, feeding schedule, and temperature/humidity needs are important so everything stays consistent for them. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can make the experience feel normal and stress free for your pet. 🐾
