From horses and dogs to reptiles and backyard livestock and poultry, I’m passionate about providing reliable, compassionate care.

When caring for your pets in your home, I strive to maintain their normal routines and provide a calm, familiar environment. Whether it’s keeping up with their feeding schedule, favorite playtime activities, or giving them extra snuggles, I’ll treat them with the same love and attention I’d give my own. I’m also attentive to home details—keeping things tidy, respecting your space, and ensuring your pets feel safe and comfortable until you return.

“Felix is a delightful young man = I feel very lucky that I connected with him. He is punctual, full of life and truly loves animals. Sammy, my dog, would lie by the sliding glass door in the morning waiting for him and jump for joy as soon as Felix arrived. Felix also paid attention to Sugar, my cat, when he was here. I highly recommend him and would have no hesitation to have him house sit for me should the need arise.”

17. alexis w.
“Alexis is the best, truly! I have 6 dogs currently and have never trusted anyone to watch them overnight.. until I met and got to know alexis. She will truly love your animals like they’re her own. She dealt with my anxious dog, my misbehaved teenager of a dog who eats everything, and my hyper bird dog who has no brain cells and never complains. In fact, she asks to see them even when she’s not being paid to watch them lol 100% couldnt recommend a sweeter more genuine person to care for your pets. As a bonus- she’s an amazing groomer as well and has the patience of a saint. I’ve never seen a girl get bit so many times and just move on like nothing happened🤣”

About: I’ve always lived with cats and dogs and have always had a special place in my heart for all animals. I graduated in veterinary assistance in 2019 and work at an animal hospital! I currently work almost 10 hour days so if your pup is not OK being alone that long I might not be a good fit for them! I would love to pet sit on the side as well as take any pet for walks! I see your pet as family and will treat them as so, making sure they don’t go hungry, cold or lonely! I have volunteered at my local shelter walking and helping with dogs and cats as well. I can even simply check in on any reptiles and smaller furry friends like hamsters and bunnies as well! I have experience with fur babies who have anxiety, cancer, joint problems, seizures and much more, with that being said I am experienced in having to give medications and pay extra close attention! Please don’t hesitate to contact me! I would love to meet your fur baby!!! ❤️
