Boarding, Training and Fun

I have always had at least one pet . From birds to dogs. I especially love dogs. I graduated from Animal Behavior College in August 2022. I also received a certificate for CPR and first aid. Pet care and training is my passion. My daily routine consist of caring for my own dog so it is very easy to share my time with other fur babies. When it comes to caring for pets in my home, safety and comfort are my top concerns. My home is spacious enough for dogs to have fun and and is only minutes away from Hinghams popular dog park (Stodder's Neck). This summer the back yard will display a planned agility course and a digging pit for all to enjoy.

Boarding • Aug 04, 2026

We left our high energy Labrador Mix, Nala, with Alena for an overnight boarding. She sent multiple unprompted updates with videos of Nala with us how her stay was going, and clearly coordinated drop off and pick up times. Alena was terrific accommodating, and Nala came home happy and very tired (which is not easy to do). 5 stars, would highly recommend, and we look forward to using her again in the future.

Doggy Day Care • Jun 19, 2023

We have sent Bree, our 10 month old mini Goldendoodle puppy, to Alena's numerous times now. Bree absolutely LOVES going to see Alena and her adorable dog, Princess. Bree is always so well cared for and she has a ton of fun with Princess. I know that if Bree is with Alena, I don't have to worry about a thing. The two dogs play so well in her home, in her great backyard and even park outings. Alena always make sure Bree gets her exercise and good nap time. It's a bonus that Alena is a certified trainer. She really knows how to manage dogs in a very positive and calm manner. Alena sends me videos throughout the stay as well so I always know what's happening. She provides special treats like bones which Bree absolutely adores. I know Bree has a great time because whenever we go to pick her up, she always runs backs to the house to say goodbye to Alena and Princess. I feel so grateful and lucky to have met Alena who takes care of our dog like her own. If you need dog sitting care, send your dog to Alena - you won't regret it!

The absolute best experience!! Our dog Charlie had her own vacation with Alena and her dog Princess while we were away. Charlie got a ton of exercise, snuggles and even a bath and came back so happy, and with a new best friend! Thank you Alena for the wonderful care, and the daily photos and videos. We were so happy knowing Charlie was in the best hands!

Alena took great care of my two dogs, a golden doodle and a bichon poo for a week's stay. Her dog, Princess, is high energy so I was a little nervous at first about how it would shake out, but the dogs seemed happy in the videos she provided. I would have the dogs stay with her again and recommend her to friends.

Alena was absolutely wonderful! She was able to board both my dog & my boyfriend’s dog last minute over a weekend. She took time to do a meet and greet prior to boarding to confirm our dogs would get along. She was super flexible with pick up & drop off times. Her passion for animals is beyond evident & she loved our dogs as her own. Highly recommend!!

Alena took care of our two dogs for a week while we were abroad. She kept us updated on a daily basis with pictures, videos and texts. Our dogs seem to have gotten along very well with her dog. It is clear that Alena cares deeply about the dogs in her care. She takes them in long walks and has plenty of toys and bones for them to play with. We would highly recommend Alena and will definitely use her services again in the future.
