Highlights
Pet care experience
“Your pet’s new best friend!”
I have years of personal experience caring for dogs, including my own Yorkshire Terrier, Max. I truly understand how important it is to feel your pet is safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. What sets me apart is the personal attention I give to each animal—I treat every pet as if they were my own. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I’m especially patient with shy or senior pets. I also have experience with basic training for puppies, including house training, leash manners, and positive reinforcement. Whether your pet needs active playtime or calm companionship, I adapt to their individual needs.

Ratings and reviews
Alain took such good care of my babies (3 and 1 year old golden retrievers)! It was very last minute due to a change of plans the day before I was leaving town and he accommodated on short notice. He sent me pics and videos all day everyday and they were having so much fun and getting lots of attention. Will definitely use Alain again if the need arises.
Excellent service. Alain was kind and gentle to Gizzy. He was responsive and sent updated videos daily. Would highly recommend!!!
Alain always takes great care of our dog, and we never worry when she’s with him. Highly recommend!
Alain and his family have watched Tater now 4 times. We get consistent pictures and videos each time showing Tater wagging his tail and having a good time. He is a top notch sitter! We are sad we will be moving and not able to keep using him once we move as it is hard to find such a good sitter with great communication. Tater jumps out of the car and runs to their door each time we get to their house, so that proves he feels safe and happy there.
As always, our pup gets excellent care from Alain!😁
Alain took great care of Hendrix and handled his medication well. Highly recommend him

Schedule
I work from home, which gives me the flexibility to fully dedicate time and attention to the pets I care for. Pet care fits naturally into my routine—daily walks, playtime, feeding, and cuddles are all part of my day. Because I’m home most of the time, pets are never left alone for long, and I can quickly respond to their needs. Being around animals keeps my days joyful and active, and I love creating a calm, loving environment for them.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I offer pet care both in my home and at the client’s home, depending on what works best for the pet and their family. In my home, pets enjoy a clean, safe, and comfortable environment with plenty of attention, playtime, and regular walks. I do my best to maintain their usual routines—feeding schedules, sleep habits, and any special needs—to help them feel at ease. When caring for pets in their own home, I follow all care instructions closely and respect the space as if it were my own. I make sure the pet feels calm, loved, and secure in their familiar environment. Whether in my home or theirs, I provide consistent updates with messages, photos, and videos, so owners always feel connected and reassured.
Pets
A typical day
Every day, I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and entertained. Depending on their needs and energy levels, I can take them for relaxing walks or more active play sessions in the park. I love spending time playing with toys, throwing balls, or simply giving them the attention they need to feel happy and calm. If the pet enjoys socializing, we can go on walks where they can meet other dogs (with the owner’s permission). For those who are more relaxed, I enjoy providing a cozy space where they can rest while I stay close to offer comfort and companionship. I also follow feeding routines carefully, give fresh water regularly, and keep an eye on their health and behavior throughout the day. I’m happy to help with basic grooming like brushing and keeping their space tidy. More than anything, I make sure they feel at home — cared for, respected, and loved every moment we’re together
