Animal Lover at your service!

Pet care experience

I’ve provided animal care since I was very young! I have owned two happy loving dogs, one was a German Shepard Rottweiler mix and one was a pug. Plus i’ve owned smaller pets like fish, guinea pigs, hamsters, birds, cats , frogs, you name it! I’ve also pet sat for people countless times in my life. I take animal care very seriously, I’ve worked at a pet store and I have completed a Veterinary Assistance course in college as well. During the college course, I learned how to administer medication, restraint pets properly, help a wounded animal, and learn how to read animal behavior. My plans are to continue my career with animals and eventually go back to college to become a vet tech. I just finished volunteering at the Franklin Park Zoo for the year, which got me into animal care even more. I’m available for dog walking or pet sitting, or both! I have a medium-sized completely fenced in grassy yard that can be accessed anytime. There is also a trail/park down my street that is perfect for walking dogs. I have a friendly cat named Luna, and she stays upstairs majority of the time. She never tends to interact with the pets I take care of. My schedule is extremely flexible, I am home almost everyday all day, since I study online and work from home. I can promise that your pet would be in great care!

Alana did a great job with our two little ones. It didn't look like they missed us at all when we picked them up.

Super communicative with daily pictures. Easy to reach. Our dog was so happy spending time with her that he didn't even want to leave! Will definitely be booking again the next time we need a stay. Highly recommend!

Information Alana B. would like to know about your pet

Please Let me know if your dog takes any medication or has any medical issues I would need to know about , if they’re on a special diet, and their activity status (if your dog requires multiple walks or is a dog who is laid back and relaxed). Please also Let me know if your dog is okay being with other dogs, So I know if it’s okay to book other clients/ be okay to take the dog to a dog park!

A typical day

There’s a pretty long walking trail next to my house (Sherrin Woods) and I provide a medium sized backyard for your pup to run and play in, which can be accessed anytime. When the weather gets too hot, I offer a kitty pool out in the yard to cool the pet down, that is of course if the dog isn’t afraid of water! I also love going to parks in the neighborhood with the pets that I take care of. Some of my favorite places to go are The Arnold Arboretum, The Millennium Park, Stony Brook Reservation, Blue hills, and Castle island!
