Reliable and professional pet care
Pet care experience
I've provided reliable pet care for dogs and cats for 15+ years. This winter I completed the basic clicker training course at the Animal Refuge League of Greater Portland which provided valuable knowledge on pet care. My partner and I had our beloved senior dog pass away last year which was a very difficult adjustment. While we wait to find our family's next pup, I'm looking to provide my time and the use of our home to help care for your furry loved ones!
Reviews
Alex D. cancelled a booking 2 days before it was scheduled to begin.
Alex was so friendly and reliable, so sweet with our dog, we would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone and we look forward to using his services again.
Alex treated our pup with so much care and love while we were out of the country for two weeks! We loved getting regular updates and photos about the walks, swims and adventures they went on together. If you're looking for someone who will genuinely enjoy spending time with your dog and treat them like their own, and communicate well, you should definitely hire Alex!
Alex gets an A+ for Awesome! This was our first time using Rover and Alex was the perfect sitter in our home for 6 days. Our Boxer, Sofie, went looking for Alex first thing this morning and had the saddest “Boxer face” when he wasn’t in the bedroom. Alex introduced Sofie to a new walking adventure everyday and sent us great pictures to keep us updated on their activities. Our home looked exactly as we left it and Alex did his bedding and towels before we got home, which was unexpected but greatly appreciated! Five stars to Alex; we will definitely hire him again and Sofie is already asking us when we are planning our next getaway!! Sue P 8/30/23
About Alex D.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
We have no dogs in our home. We have one crate available if your dog is crate trained, as well as a dog bed. We have a large yard with several walking trails close by to keep your pup well exercised. There are two cats but they can be easily contained elsewhere in the house if your dog does not get along with cats.
Home
Information Alex D. would like to know about your pet
Any information on triggers for your dog is important. Whether that is seeing something/someone while on a walk, hearing noises while in the home, etc. This will help me provide the best experience for your loved one. Any medical conditions or food allergies should be provided as well. What type of harness (if used) is helpful so I can prepare ahead of time.
A typical day
I grew to love life with a dog who need a LONG walk daily. Have a few favorite options locally for dog friendly trails including Shaw Park and Cherry Hill Farm. As a precaution I always check the pup for ticks after a walk through the woods, such is life in Maine! In the house we have plenty of space to play fetch, tug of war, or provide a food puzzle for some mental stimulation.
