About: Im Alexis, lover of all pets, young or old, big or small, I love em all 💛 We can do walks, hikes, swimming, or even a play day at the park! Live right outside town close to the dog park, trails, and 5 open acres for pups to explore. I do work full time but with a pup of my own, I’m sure to be home every 2-4 hours for a potty break. Our evenings usually consist of the dog park or a long walk followed by some cuddles on the couch. I work full time and make sure to keep my calendar up to date with days I’m available. I do have a dog of my own who is super friendly and loves to get outside but also enjoy a nap on the couch! We’re both super flexible :) I do request a meet and greet before boarding and house sitting. I treat all pets as if they were my own. I acknowledge that each owner trains their pet different ways and will respect that. I’m a pretty neat person and will respect your home while stopping by or staying awhile!
