I’m happiest taking care of animals

Pet care experience

I’ve had animals as long as I can remember. My first dog was a giant Saint Bernard, my current dog is a mutt. I’ve worked with water rescue dogs, protection dogs, raised puppies, crate trained, potty trained, and been around senior dogs as well, and I love them all the same. I’d be happy to help institute desired behaviors by assisting with training young pups and dogs with basic commands and social skills. Not only have I been around dogs all my life as I have also never been without a cat in my home as well. I love all furry or non-furry friends. I am just finishing up my busy season internship at an accounting firm. With everything slowing down, I am looking to continue taking care of animals in the meantime while I finish up my final few courses over the summer for my degree. I live in a fantastic location in Quincy that is a two minute walk away from the Blue Hills Reservation and five minutes from the quarries so I’d be more than happy to go exploring with your pup through the trails nearby if the spend the day/night. I am extremely willing, laid back, and excited to look after your animals. Feel free to reach out with any inquiries for scheduling, fees, or anything else! I am beyond understanding of each individuals requests and needs when it comes to taking care of their fur-baby. Whatever requests that you have I intend to meet them as though they were for my own. When walking I know how to use a multitude of leash types to secure your furry friend properly. I would gladly take your fur friend on long walks, car rides, beach trips, swimming, dog park, etc., anything you want. In the instance of handling dogs that may be aggressive with other animals I have experience with that as well. I am always respectful of the places I go in taking care of them and trying to leave it better then when I have left it. I’m looking forward to meeting your furry family! I also have references that can be used if requested to help with comfort and trust!

Alex did a great job with our dog as well as our home on a recent trip. She is prompt, communicative and responsible! Mojo had a great weekend with her as well!

Alex was awesome! We have a "special" pit bull who doesn't like to be around many other dogs. It makes going way harder. We needed someone to watch our dog for a weekend trip. As soon as I contacted her she was quick with a response, came over for a meet and great and I knew right away it was a great fit. She stayed the weekend and kept us up to date with what was going on including photos. It made the weekend so much more enjoyable knowing our baby was in good hands. We will definitely use Alex again, I highly recommend!!

Alex is awesome! We plan to rebook her next time we go away. It was so nice not to worry about my pets while we were away because I knew they were in good hands. My dog and cat liked her right away. She was even able to help me out super last minute. She is friendly, polite, easygoing, clean and stays in touch with updates. She is clearly an animal lover and clearly knows animals. Positive experience all around!

Alex stayed at our home with our dog Charlie for a long weekend and was great! She came out beforehand and met with Charlie and got to know him a bit. Throughout the weekend she kept us up to date with photos and Charlie seemed really comfortable around her. When we came home we could tell Charlie had a good time and the house was spotless. Overall great experience and will definitely be using Alex next time we need a dog-sitter!
