Lexie is the absolute best when it comes to watching dogs. She took care of Blue the moment I left him to be watched by Lexie. She made sure to keep me updated & posted videos & pictures of how Blue was doing while I was away. I can’t stress enough how much she’s been helpful with helping me with Blue. I recommend her services to anyone who needs someone to watch their dog. She’s always been quick replying and managing to keep you updated if you have any questions or concerns about your pet. She grew to establish a loving bond with Blue and I’m truly grateful for that. Thank you Lexie for your services!!!!

I don’t even know where to start! LEXIE WAS A LIFESAVER FOR ME! I had made arrangements for a family member to stay at my house with my newly rescued 5 month old puppy. That family member really dropped the ball, so in a panic I got on Rover. I stumbled upon Lexie’s profile and set an appointment. I was nervous because I have never used anyone like this before. The family member then was a bigger problem and I needed to move the drop in appt to the next day. Lexi was amazing and understanding. She was amazing even before going to care my baby. Once she got to the drop in she sent me videos and communicated the entire time. She went above and beyond and made my anxiety disappear! 100000000% recommend her and she will be the first call next time I need anyone for my babies!

Lexie loved and cared for a 3 month puppy I had transported from Tennessee to Gulfport to meet my niece and nephew who were adopting this English field bred cocker. We left Bernie at Lexie's house for 5 nights. Lexie continued to communicate with me, sending pictures and videos all during the days. Eventally she was sending the pics to my niece and and coordinating with her. Lexie was a very nice lady and took very good care of an active playful puppy. Bernie was healthy and happy when my niece came to pick him up!! I recommend Lexie entusiasticly.

Information Lexie M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pets have any special needs like medication, exercise, or dietary needs. I will need to know if they have food aggression, resource guarding, or if they are a rescue or adopted pet that may need extra care. I want to make sure I am meeting each animal needs for care.
