As a digital artist who works from home, my schedule is wonderfully flexible and perfect for spending quality time with your furry friend! I start each day with a cup of coffee and a quick sketch, but my favorite part of the day is when I get to step away from the screen for some one-on-one time with the pups I care for. Whether it’s a mid-morning walk through the neighborhood or a cozy play session in the afternoon, I make sure each dog I care for gets plenty of love and attention. Throughout the week, I break up my art projects with regular walks, potty breaks, and cuddles, making sure your dog’s routine blends seamlessly with mine. My evenings are often spent winding down with some light painting, with a furry companion by my side, of course. This balance between my creative work and dog care means your pet will have constant companionship, attention, and plenty of outdoor time—whether it’s during a quick break or an afternoon adventure. My weekends are all about longer walks and outdoor fun. Whether we’re chasing a ball in the park or enjoying some quiet relaxation time, your dog will get the undivided, personalized attention they deserve, all while fitting right into my routine as a work-from-home artist.

Safety, trust & environment

When it comes to caring for your furry family members, safety and trust are my top priorities. Whether I’m welcoming your dog into my home for boarding or visiting your home for sitting or drop-ins, I strive to create a comfortable, loving environment where your pet feels completely at ease. If your dog stays with me, they’ll be part of the family! My home is pet-friendly, with cozy spots for relaxation, plenty of space for play, and lots of one-on-one attention. I make sure the environment is safe and secure, with constant supervision to ensure your pet is always happy, healthy, and well-cared-for. From daily walks to cuddle time, your dog’s routine will be catered to their needs, whether they prefer lounging or an active play session. I maintain a calm, structured atmosphere, and your dog will have plenty of outdoor time and regular exercise, including half-hour to hour-long walks, or even longer adventures, depending on their energy level. When I come to your home for sitting or drop-in visits, I treat your space and your pet with the utmost respect. I maintain your dog’s routine as closely as possible, from feeding times to playtime and walks. I know how important it is for your pet to feel safe in their familiar environment, and I make sure they receive plenty of love and attention while you’re away. I offer drop-in visits and regular walks, from quick 30-minute strolls to as many hours as your dog needs to stay happy and content. Whether it’s in my home or yours, I’m dedicated to building a relationship of trust with both you and your pet. You can always count on me to provide a nurturing, reliable, and safe environment that puts your dog’s well-being first.

Information Lexi Y. would like to know about your pet

It’s important for me to know your dog’s unique personality, energy level, any special routines or quirks they have, and if they have any medical needs, allergies, or triggers (like fear of loud noises or other dogs). Understanding these details helps me provide the best personalized care and ensure your pet is happy and safe.

A typical day

Every dog is different, and I truly believe that understanding each pup’s individual energy and personality is key to giving them the best care possible. Whether your dog is full of playful energy or more of a laid-back cuddle bug, I adapt the day to match their vibe. Our mornings start with a walk or play session, but the pace depends entirely on your pup. Some dogs are all about adventure, eager to explore every corner, while others prefer to take things slow and just enjoy the fresh air. I tune in to what your dog needs—whether it’s chasing toys, exploring new smells, or simply soaking up the quiet moments. Throughout the day, I focus on giving your dog one-on-one attention that matches their personality. If they’re a high-energy pup, we’ll have plenty of playtime and outdoor activity. For the more relaxed types, it’s about finding those sweet moments of calm, whether it’s a cozy nap near me as I work or gentle pets while they unwind. By the evening, we’re winding down with a slower walk and a comforting routine that feels familiar and safe. The whole day is about making sure your dog feels seen, understood, and cared for in a way that’s tailored just for them—because to me, every dog is truly one of a kind, and I’m passionate about making sure they have the best experience possible.

Heartfelt Tailored Tail Waggin Care

Pet care experience

As a passionate and dedicated dog caregiver (and certified belly-rub expert), I have decades of experience in providing loving, personalized care for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. Whether it’s epic walks, goofy play sessions, or cozy couch cuddles, I treat each dog like my own, making sure their day is just as awesome as they are. With a deep understanding of dog behavior and needs, I offer more than just pet sitting—I’m all about tail wags, happy barks, and ensuring every pup feels like the superstar they are. Your fur-baby is in good hands, whether we’re tackling zoomies or sharing some well-deserved ear scratches!

I cannot recommend Lexi enough as a cat sitter! From the very beginning, it was clear that Lexi genuinely cares about animals and takes the responsibility seriously. My cat, Astra, is not always the easiest to care for as he can be shy and a little picky about who he warms up to but Lexi immediately won him over. Lexi goes above and beyond to make sure Astra feels comfortable, cared for, and happy while I’m away. Every time I come home, I can tell Astra has been well looked after and is in a great mood. One of the things I appreciate most is how attentive Lexi is to Astra’s needs. Whether it’s making sure Astra eats well, gets enough playtime, or just feels calm and secure, Lexi handles it all with so much thoughtfulness. They always gives me updates, which gives me total peace of mind knowing that Astra is in such capable hands. Lexi is also incredibly flexible and reliable, which has been a lifesaver for me more than once. If I’ve needed to make last-minute changes or had unexpected travel plans, Lexi has always been willing to adjust and help out without hesitation. That level of understanding and dependability is so rare and so appreciated. On top of all that, Lexi is just such a friendly and positive person. It’s clear that this isn’t just a “job” for Lexi, it’s a genuine passion. I feel 100% confident leaving Astra with Lexi, which honestly says a lot, because I’m pretty protective of my cat! In short, Lexi is literally the best cat sitter ever. I trust them completely with Astra, and I’m so grateful to have found someone so caring, responsible, and kind. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your pet like family, Lexi is the one.
