animal lover of all kinds!
Pet care experience
I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, currently I have a black lab (Marlin), and four cats (Nug, Goose, Heron, and Plover). Three of my four cats were born in my neighborhood to a feral mom, who I worked with the animal shelter to trap, spay, and release after capturing her kittens and getting her healthy. Over the course of the year in 2020, I socialized and found homes for all of her babies and ended up with three!! This said, I have experience with cats along a range of trusting humans and have a bit of a soft spot for them in my heart. In addition, I have had a cat with diabetes and dogs on medication, so I am comfortable administering insulin to cats and finding sneaky way to prevent dogs from spitting out pills. Aside from my own pets, I’ve watched my family members’ dogs while they are away and have watched some dogs and cats outside of Rover!

Unfortunately I cannot care for your pets in my own home, as I have my own animals. However, in your house, I am happy to meet your pets where their needs are. I want them to be as comfortable as possible while getting love, care, and play while you may be away.
Information Lexie H. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pet has any habits, needs, or behaviors I should know about so the experience is as comfortable as possible for both them and myself. I want to treat your pet the way you do!
A typical day
I love to make sure dogs are both physically and mentally engaged. When it comes to my dog, he could play fetch for hours and loves to hear me stories with all of his favorite words and toys involved :) On walks, stopping for all of the smells is a sure way to keep stimulated. As for cats, I’m well aware that there is a huge range on willingness to cuddle and play! While I would love to play with and pet every cat, I’m more than happy to respect the space of the kitties that don’t want me in their space or spend time giving affection to the ones that do! Regardless, I will always meet your pet where they are at and ensure they are happy and healthy wherever their boundaries are :)

Having recently graduated from URI, I am living in my hometown of Westerly until my Masters program starts in the fall. I work part time at a coffee shop at the moment and my schedule is never the same in a week. However, I can be fairly flexible, just message me with your dates and needs and I’ll see what I can do!!
