About Lex

Experience: 3 yrs

I have three years of experience caring for dogs and cats. I am currently finishing my master's degree 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.

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!
