Lexi C. Pet Care Provider in Arlington, MA 02474

My name is Lexi and I'm an engineer, writer, and artist currently taking time off from full-time work. I grew up with many well-loved furry friends in the house and enjoy walking and spending time with cats and dogs, but am also happy to feed fish and other pets. I've taken care of friends' pets on a regular basis and I'm comfortable with lizards, small rodents, hedgehogs, etc. as long as I'm given instructions on feeding and care routines.

If you're traveling, I am available to house-sit overnight as well. I'm pretty neat and tidy, and happy to take care of jobs around the house such as cleaning, maintenance, snow shoveling during the winter, or plant care.

I am often out for part of the afternoon (I volunteer as tutor and give cultural orientations to incoming immigrants), but can usually work around dog walking schedules if needed. As a house-sitter I'm an easy sleeper and can sleep almost anywhere, including quiet towns, noisy city neighborhoods (and even comfy couches if you prefer to not have a stranger in a bedroom).

My rate is listed at $12.00/day as an average rate for checking in on a cat. Depending on number of pets, level of care needed, and distance traveled, rates will go up or down (up for dogs or more pets, down if you live next door to me and I don't have to travel) -- we can work out something that feels fair!
