About Alaina

Experience: 10 yrs

A bit about me: I have extensive experience with dogs, including my own 6-year-old Miniature Australian Shepherd, Cooper Bacon. Professionally, I worked at Billerica Veterinary Hospital for two years and most recently at Atlantic K9 for three and a half years. Through these roles, I've gained hands-on experience with dogs of all breeds, temperaments, and behavioral needs. I'm also familiar with various training tools, including e-collars and prong collars, should your dogs use them. I am able to administer oral medication as well. I'd be more than happy to provide references if you're interested in moving forward. ***Please inquire about rates directly.

I had the pleasure of working alongside Alaina for several years in a professional pet care setting, and I can say with confidence that her warmth, adaptability, and compassion make her a truly exceptional caregiver—not just for animals, but for children as well. Alaina has a natural ability to connect with individuals from all walks of life. She brings patience, positivity, and respect to every interaction, whether she’s supporting a nervous dog, a spirited toddler, or an overwhelmed parent. Her experience working with a wide range of dogs—different breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments—speaks to her adaptability, and that same calm, confident presence translates beautifully to her work with children. She approaches every child and animal with curiosity, care, and genuine love, always striving to create a safe and nurturing environment. Families looking for someone they can truly trust will find that in Alaina—her ability to form lasting, meaningful bonds is something special.
