Pet Friendly Family!

Hello! My family and I are animal lovers who are eager to meet new people and their fur babies. My husband Derek and I have two daughters (ages 7 and 10) and our son (7 months). Our daughters love dogs and understand the responsibilities that come with pet care. We are conveniently located on two acres approximately five minutes from I-95, and are happy to share our property with our chickens and pigs. We do have a fenced section of our yard for dogs to stretch their legs. I grew up with Great Danes, but my family adopted many others, allowing me to have experience with other dog breeds as well (large & small). I am an attorney and have the ability to create my own schedule and work from home when needed. I'd love to get to know you & your furry family - feel free to message me with any questions you may have! I look forward to working with your pups!

Alexandra was a great sitter for our pups Boone and George! She was incredibly communicative and shared lots of updates about how the boys were doing. She helped us last minute when we were traveling nearby and we are so grateful!
