Life-long dog lover

Pet care experience

I have been a dog lover my whole life, and I grew up around big dogs (chow-chows). I am comfortable with all sorts of dogs as I have dog-sat for a variety of different breeds, ages, and temperaments from hyperactive German Shepherds to senior Chihuahuas. I also worked at a veterinary technology center for a number of years where I cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, mice, hamsters, rats, and birds. Because of this experience and my own personal experience with a senior dog, I am comfortable administering medication, and I am familiar with the challenges that come with older animals. I am also comfortable with multiple animals at a time as well as special needs animals—both of which I have cared for in the past.

Lexi is a great person and a great walker. She is punctual, respectful, confident and personable. If she can handle my Rocks, she can handle anything! I would recommend her to care for anyone's animal.

Lexi is a great caring person and dog walker. She is very reliable, personable and just a treat to deal with. She really takes care of your dog well and is always pleasant, with a smile on her face. I would recommend her to care for anyone's dog.

Lexi is reliable and did a great job checking in my dogs while I was at work. She got them to go outside, even in the rain, kept me updated during her visits, and showed them love and attention. She was awesome. Thanks Lexi!

Thank you so much Lexi for being flexible and watching our Dogs and Cats over the holidays. Lexi took great care of an elderly 100+ pound german shepherd and a rambunctious 100+ pound 2 year old. It's great having such a reliable sitter that can handle big breeds.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in an apartment with two sets of stairs (one to get up to my apartment and one flight inside the apartment itself). I currently do not have any pets or roommates so I'm flexible with pets who are less social.

Lives in an apartment
Does not have a yard
Non-smoking household
Has no pets

Potty breaks every 2-4 hours

Information Lexi D. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know temperament, age, breed, any behavioral quirks or preferences, and general personality so that we can get used to each other quicker. I grew up around larger dogs and am more familiar with them, but I have taken care of a number of different breeds and I am comfortable with pretty much all dogs.

A typical day

Now that the weather is getting warmer, I would love to take breaks from working to go outside and walk or go to the park. I like to go to Clark park or the Woodlands cemetery.
