Personalized care for your dog or cat - Port Austin

“Alexis and her family helped me out in a pinch while I had a short visit Port Austin. My dog was well taken care of and communication was great. Thanks again!!”

About: I work from home and have two sibling furbabies that know when I say break time that means we are going outside. Weather permitting we like to do our walks in the mid to late mornings. I have taken care of large furbabies such as an English Bulldog, labradors and German shepherds, to medium furbabies like my favorite Boston Terrier Husky Mix to small dogs of various breeds. I’ve also cared for dogs with special needs. For example incontinence where I had to change doggy diapers for a 4 year old with a uterine malformation and provide medications as well. I always say when I win the lottery it’s all going to a dog sanctuary, and then I remember I don’t play the lottery. Working from home - your babies will never be alone, be let out regularly and loved excessively. My dogs would probably write a complaint here about too many pictures being taken but I can’t help it. Unless I make a quick run to the store or an appointment, I am home. I work from home, with my two furbabies and am the only human. If your pet likes rides and you’re ok, they can come along on my errands as well. Just let me know! Whatever your routine or comforts are for your dog I will do my best to continue/match those while you are away. Whether it’s crating at night, or sleeping on the couch or in the bed with my babies, I want to know how best to make them feel as much at home as possible. My yard is not fenced. So potty breaks vary by animal and training. I can tether them for extra caution or walk them around the yard on a leash, or any other options we can discuss. Safety is of the utmost importance so communication and planning is important.

“Loki was loved, played with and very well cared for. Leslie sent a picture and update daily which really helped our peace of mind while away. We will definitely ask for her again!”

About: I am a farm girl and have been taking care of farm animals, big and small for over 30 years. I can administer medication if needed. We use to breed our own dogs years ago from Pomeranians when I was younger to German Shepherds as an adult. I currently work til 3 Monday -Friday. I would be avail after that time to take care of your loved fur baby. I am available on the weekends after 1 pm. My chihuahua just roams the yard. We live in the country so he has free range. He loves to play so that is what happens most days and then he loves his naps.

About: I've taken care of friends and families dog in the past. Given them bathes, feeding them, walks, and picking up after them. It is always a great time to socialize with them. Recently had a internship at Capital Area Humane Society it was an honor to learn things from there caring staff and put what I learned to use. Pet care fits into my daily before and after work. Also weekends are free so there is lots of free time to play with my furry friends. I would ask questions on what there companion care look like to them for everyone see its differently. Making sure they are no objects they can hurt them selves. To see if they feel safe around me and others. Seeing how the animal responds to different things.

About: I’ve taken care of numerous cats over the years! Friends and family have trusted me to watch them for days or weeks at a time or even just a small pop in to check on them. I have 2 cats of my own

“Alexis was quick to respond and flexible as weather changed plans for a kayak trip. She also efficiently made sure my dog would be comfortable and have her needs met during her stay. I would absolutely recommend Alexis and wouldn't hesitate to have my dog stay with her again.”
