I work from home to play more fetch
Pet care experience
I’ve been playing with, training, and caring for dogs my entire life. I love learning the personality of each one and accommodating their needs. I’m big on spoiling fur babies and giving all the comfort they need while they wait for you to come home. Lots of distracting walks, fetch, dog park, treats, and whatever their favorite things are.
Reviews
Lexie was great! I am always so nervous leaving my pups but after meeting Lexie during our meet and great I was totally fine leaving them with her. She is respectful, professional and takes her job seriously. I will definitely be using her again.
Lexie was great! About a week before our trip, our dog Darby cut her foot, and Lexie was great about making sure Darby had her boot and cone on at the appropriate times, didn’t play too hard but still got some enrichment, and even some cuddles! She administered her medicine in the morning and followed all instructions. I would definitely book Lexie again!
Lexie is an extraordinary pet sitter and human being! I can't leave my furbabies with just anyone and have never used a house sitter before now. I'm an introvert and a private person. It was extremely nerve-wracking deciding to use Rover. I was in a situation where I needed to care for a loved one in another country and needed to hire someone. I honestly would not have been able to leave my house and pets with anyone other than Lexie. From the initial written communication, I felt comfortable with Lexie. When we had our meet and greet, I knew I met a kindred spirit in how I take care of my pets, from positive reinforcement to loving and nurturing care. All of my pets are rescues with traumatic backgrounds. After years of healing work, they are simply wonderful pet companions. I never want to place them in a situation where someone could potentially re-traumatize them. My pup is my best pal, and it's hard on her when I'm away. In Lexie's videos of my pup, her tail wagged every time. She was smiling and rolling on her back with paws up in the air! One of my kitties never comes out for anyone. She's solely bonded to me. I shared with Lexie that she may never see Emma and asked Lexie to please sit in the room where she may hide and just Be with her. While I was at the airport, within one hour of leaving my furbabies with Lexie, she sent a video of my Emma walking up to her, purring, and letting Lexie pet her. I could tell in the video that Emma responded to Lexie how she responded to me. I am at the airport with tears in my eyes, feeling so much relief. There was no doubt in my heart or mind that Lexie was the purrfect pet sitter, and my pup and two kitties would be fine while I was out of the country. Lexie helped make a very stressful situation so much better that I didn't have to worry about my pets or house while caring for my loved one over 5,000 miles away. Lexie sent pictures and videos daily, most of the time twice each day. Her response time in communication was excellent. Sharing that Lexie goes above and beyond is an understatement. Lexie's care of the furbabies was exemplary! I will only ask for Lexie for any pet-sitting services in the future. I don't travel much because I don't like leaving my pets behind. I feel I'll be able to take short trips and explore for fun next time. Thank you, Lexie! You made a stressful situation feel much lighter! I honestly could not have done what I needed to do without you!
To say Lexie is AMAZING is an understatement! She was so great with our animals and she sent us updates with photos everyday. She made us feel completely at ease with going out of town and we couldn’t express our gratitude towards her for taking care of our pups and kitty. Can not wait to have her back! Thank you again Lexie!!

Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I always pay special attention to the tips and boundaries of owners. I never take a dog out without being leashed and I pay extra attention to their cues while in public. I never allow another dog or stranger to approach us, even if there’s no history of problems it doesn’t mean another dog may not be aggressive and I want to keep everyone safe.
Information Lexie S. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know all of the quirks of your dog. Any points of reactivity so I can be their advocate should we stumble upon a trigger. Any allergies, special needs, communication preferences, etc. I love accommodating and making sure your dog feels comfortable, loved, and safe. Let me know if any medication needs to be administered and everything I need to know around that such as amount, possible side effects, etc.
A typical day
Playing their favorite game with their favorite toy is a must in my book. I love helping pups get as much energy out as possible so they can take a big nap when I leave. If your dog has a favorite dog park I’m happy to take them. If you’re dog would like to join me on short hikes I’m happy to bring them along those as well! I am a personal fan of fetch and have no problem growing a ball for an hour or so. Whatever makes your fur baby happy makes me happy.

I work from home and have a very flexible schedule. I often take breaks with walks, so why not use that time to give your fur baby a break too! I’m also a big fan of fetch. I love taking lots of breaks to give fur babies attention, exercise, and treats. I routinely provide grooming for my pups and I’d be happy to brush down yours too!
