About Lex
Experience: 3 yrs
I have three years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I am currently finishing my master's degree at UConn so I want to care for others dog until I can have my own space for one. Currently I have a 7 yr of cat Pistachio. He had previous health issues so I know how to handle medication with pets. Cut their nails, dental care and manage their coat. In emergencies, I remain calm, follow pre-discussed plans, and immediately contact you with details on every step as pets are just another family member and needs the same attention as anyone else. I introduce myself slowly, observing their behavior to understand their comfort level with others beyond their owners. I also have experience with young and senior pets and vet emergency situations. Dogs 30 min - 35$, 5-8 hours : 50-80$ 8:30-9 pm: 130$ Overnight stay - 150$ cap. Cats 30 min - 25$ 5-8 hours : 40-70$ Overnight stay : 100$
Most recent review
Lex has done pet sitting for my older dog several times. She is one of the most responsible and dedicated people I have worked with. She is an excellent communicator and a true dog-whisperer. I would highly recommend her!
