About: Hi! My name is Alexyss and I have loved animals my entire life. I grew up with big dogs, starting with my golden retriever, Jazzy! My best friend growing up was my pitbull, Whiskey. She was the sweetest dog I’ve ever had and is the reason I’m in love with the breed. We then had Luna, who was a medium sized lab/pit mix. She tragically passed away at the young age of 6 due to medical complications following a surgery. All of those dogs profoundly changed my life and made me a better dog owner. I now have my 20-year old kitty, Smudge. She is my entire world. I adopted her from the family I babysat for in college when they moved across the country. At that time she was 14 and I had knew her for two years already. I immediately did preventative medical care on her to ensure she lives a long, happy and comfortable last years of her life. It prides me to say that her vet tells me that I am the reason she has lived this long. It means the world to me because I would truly do anything for Smudge. In 2019, I started working for Veterinary Emergency Group as an ER Vet Receptionist. Through this extensive experience, I learned to identify emergencies and the level of severity. I’ve been able to help owners through communication that was compassionate while also being transparent. I was the first person to see the animals come in, and would immediately recognize which animals were in distress when their owners did not realize it. The many times I’ve acted off of instinct mixed with experience saved those fur babies in that moment so that they could get proper medical attention. In these instances, I would also jump in to assist in the critical case in any way I can. I then quickly moved onto be a ER Veterinary Assistant. I did everything I was allowed to do as an assistant. That included performing CPR, manual ventilation, assistance with emergency and non-emergency intubation, preparing for surgery, assisting with outpatient procedures, full-time nursing for the PARVO pups, full-time nursing for 15+ patients with the help of a tech, and WAY more. I’ve seen it all and done it all (all that I was legally allowed to do of course). It was intense and heartbreaking, hence why I switched gears into the social services field. I’d love to provide compassionate, loving and attentive care for your pet(s). I want for you to be able to go out and enjoy yourself without feeling worried sick about your fur baby. I can ensure you that I will treat and love them like my own. And with my ER experience, you can rest assured that I will be able to identify if your animal is in need of immediate medical attention and will take them to receive it. I’m looking forward to meeting you and your fur babies! I currently have a flexible schedule, so I am willing to work around your needs. The earlier the notice, the better so I can properly schedule. I can follow whatever rules you have in place for your fur baby and will ensure to double check with you if I have any questions. I ask that you please be as transparent and honest with me as you can about your pet’s triggers or potential aggression. I have worked with plenty of aggressive animals, but it makes it much SAFER and easier for both your pet and I if I am aware of these things. I have had instances in which I was bit badly after being told the animal was friendly. So I truly appreciate honesty and will be more willing to work with you if you are upfront about your pet.
About: I will provide one on one attention with your dog. Your dog will be cared for and loved. I owed multiple dogs and I have experience training puppies. I currently work from home and I have a flexible schedule to take your dogs on walks and having play time. I have open availability during the week. I have a very friendly cavapoo dog who loves to play with other dogs. I live in an apartment with an open backyard for the dog play and run around. I also have a dog park in my community.
“Jodi was extremely responsive and communicative. She went the extra mile and sent a ton of photographs, checked on medical issues and whether there was food/water in her bowl. Highly recommend and will ask her to walk Reigh again!”
“5 perfect stars, if I could give more I would! Such a wonderful woman. She cared for my puppy and made it so I could trust someone while was work to come and walk her during the day. Always was there to help even on super short notice made sure my puppy was happy and safe:). I think my pup liked her more than me haha a massive huge help and I will recommend her to anyone that needs a walker. Thankyou very much for all the help you gave me :)”
“Jennifer was amazing with our Guinness! She was gentle, caring,and attentive. She clearly has a love for dogs! Jennifer also had wonderful and fast communication with me through the booking process and closing out the appointment. Guinness adored her and I look forward to using her again!”
About: I have been a veterinary technician for the last 19 years. I have spent the majority of that time working at a small animal practice, but also worked at an emergency and specialty practice for 4 years during that time as well. During my career, I have dealt with numerous c-sections, geriatric, diabetic, and renal patients. Meaning that, injections, SQ fluid, oral meds, etc, are not a problem.. I have also done pet sitting on the side for many years during this time as well. I have always had a love for animals. I currently own a 9 year old mixed breed dog, as well as a cat, and chinchilla. I have had many pocket pets over the years as well. I currently work full time, overnights only, on the front end of the week. I plan accordingly, to make sure the pets needs are met before and after work shift, and spoil them extra on the days I’m off. I adjust to whatever needs the pet requires, and make our schedules work in sync so that there are no issues with bathroom breaks, or feeding/medications.

This was Jett’s first walk with someone new, and Allie did an amazing job! She took him on several walks around the neighborhood and made sure to burn off some of his energy playing fetch in the backyard. Allie is reliable and great with dogs—I would recommend her. Thank you, Allie!
Brian has been great with our young and energetic American Bulldog. We were looking for someone sturdy who is comfortable around large dogs and can read them well (i.e overheating) and he has done just that! He is also very communicative and clear which is always the gold standard when you are entrusting someone with your dog and access to home.
