Life long dog person
Pet care experience
Hi everyone, my name is Alex, I am a 21-year-old college student playing for the University of New Hampshire men's soccer team. I grew up in southern Maine with my parents and brother and we have never not had a dog in the house. When I was born we had Duncan and Seneca, in fifth grade we got Mac, who was a lot of my responsibility until I left for college. Waking up to let him out, feed him, clean up after him, exercise and training. You name it and I have done it, I take huge pride in the way I treat animals and learning to live with them my entire life has given me a huge sense of love and responsibility towards pets. I started to watch my neighbors dogs and cats at around 12 years old and have wished I could do it for an actual job ever since. I am in school currently studying Nutrition and I have a 20 hour a week soccer commitment. Because of this I am very organized and a clear communicator, these are two of my strengths so please always feel free to reach out and see when I'm available. I am so excited to be here and cant wait to get started!

Alex is the ideal pet sitter! He loves to get to know each animal and treat it like his own. I have seen Alex interact with all types and sizes of dogs and cats. His high energy and adventurous spirit is encouraging around all animals!

Very good at following specific instructions for dogs, very fit lifestyle allows me to give dogs plenty of exercise if need be. I have trained and walked many dogs off lease and on, very comfortable with all harnesses, collars and electric fence options. Comfortable crating dog if need be, comfortable cleaning and cleaning up after pets.
Information Alex B. would like to know about your pet
Please dont be afraid to be specific with instructions. My goal is to keep the dogs as happy and comfortable while you are away, so let me know what helps them feel right at home.
A typical day
Run, walk, hike, swim, fetch etc... If you tell me what the dogs like I can most definitally do it! I have no issues loading dogs into my car, so we can go wherever to do all kinds of exercise!
