I also maintain your cat’s routine with precision, provide enrichment to keep them mentally stimulated, and ensure their environment remains clean, calm, and safe. With me, your cat gets more than just a drop-in visit—they get a consistent, reliable companion who truly “speaks cat.”

“Highly recommend!! Alexis is the animal whisperer! She is super awesome! She loves all animals and all animals love her. She has watched my two small dogs on many occasions and also has cared for our two large Maine Coon cats. All the neighbors’ animals warm right up to her. Even those that typically are skidish of new people. It is amazing to watch her interact with “difficult” animals. She connects with them like she is their bestie. Weird, but true! She is personable, caring and follows our requests. I highly recommend Alexis!”

About: I live with my chow-mix pups, Cosmo and Gaia, and spend my days working with dogs of all kinds. My experience ranges from playful puppies to strong, high-energy breeds. I’m patient, reliable, and experienced with nervous pups as well. Every dog is unique, and I adapt to their needs so they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’m mostly available in the mornings! Some afternoons may be open as well, so please check my calendar for exact availability or send a request to discuss scheduling. Before booking boarding or daycare, please check with your vet! I always keep my two pups up to date on their vaccinations. Safety and trust always come first. On walks, I bring extra leashes just in case and carry treats to keep pups happy and focused. I also take photos during our walks so you can see their adventures in real time. For drop-in visits, I follow your routine closely—feeding, water, play, and potty breaks—and always send updates with photos. My goal is simple: your dog feels safe, happy, and cared for, and you feel at ease.

After moving to Fort Polk to be with my husband, I decided to work on a Diploma to become a Certified Medical Assistant, therefore I am home more often than not studying.
