Pet care experience

Hello! I grew up in Hamilton, MA with two beautiful Bouviers Des Flanders and now own an energetic Wheaten Terrier named Harlee. There are two things I love in life: dogs and the outdoors. I'm excited to bring your pup along on my daily adventures! Since I've lived on the Northshore my whole life, I know the best places and trails in the area that are safe for adventuring. I've been a dog-lover since day one. I respect how they always know who has good intentions and who doesn't. They can tell a good human from a not-so-good human, and I'm happy to say that they gravitate to me and I to them. Quick story: When I was 6 years old, there was a lovely mixed-breed dog owned by the local florist, and while my mom picked out plants for the garden I would play with dog the whole time. One day, as children sometimes do, I ran away from home. It took the whole day for my parents to eventually find me at the florist, lying beneath a table in the greenhouse with the pup I loved so much. It was then my parents knew I needed my own dog! Now I'm very excited to make this passion my career and work with dogs full-time. You can feel at ease knowing that I will treat your dog with the same love, compassion, and patience that you do! That's a promise.

Alexander was so great. He was so patient with our shy pup. I loved getting the photo updates. Our pup Stevie was tired out from all of the walks and play with Alexander. We would recommend him to anyone.

Alex did an amazing job taking care of Daisy. Provided pictures and info and kept us in the loop while we were away. It's great comfort to know she was well looked after.

Highley recommend Alex! He came over for a meet and greet before we booked a drop in visit and then an overnight stay. Each time he sent plenty of photos and was great at communicating how our dog was doing. Our dog has some leash reactivity and I felt comfortable knowing Alex has the experience to handle. Definitely will be using Alex again.

Alex is awesome! I was able to go away confident and relaxed! He sent me pics of them walking and playing. I would recommend Alex for sure. Tyson has a new BFF.
