About: I have been a small dog owner for 14 years and grew up in a house of various animals, from birds, dogs, cats, and small mammals to reptiles giving me some extensive hands on knowledge and care experience for all animals. For your assurance I am First Aid for Animals accredited and currently studying to complete my Level 3 Award in Canine Care, Behaviour & Welfare. Pet care is a core part of my daily and weekly routine, as it’s the main focus of my business. I plan my schedule around client bookings to ensure I have enough time for each pet’s needs without rushing. This includes daily drop-in visits, feeding routines, playtime, and any other tasks agreed with the owner. I also allow time for travel, updates to clients, and proper record-keeping. I’m committed to being reliable and consistent, so pets and owners can count on me to show up and provide the best care every time. When caring for pets in a pet owner's home, I aim to maintain their usual routine as closely as possible to keep them comfortable and stress-free. During drop-in visits, I make sure they have fresh food and water, clean up any messes, and provide companionship and playtime if needed. I always check their general well-being and behavior to make sure they're healthy and happy. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they can feel reassured while they’re away. Every visit is tailored to the pet’s individual needs and preferences.

“Reliable as always.”


“Lexi is a lovely young lady with a very kind nature. My 2 dogs enjoyed being walked by her whilst I was away. Lexi was punctual and kept me updated. I would recommend Lexi for dog walking.”
