Empathetic/Mindful Animal Lover
Pet care experience
Hello, I'm Alaina! I have 3+ years of experience caring for dogs and cats, and would love to help out with other animals as well. I volunteered at a cat shelter bi-weekly for about a year, and my tasks there included: feeding and watering, cleaning litter boxes, grooming, exercising, vacuuming, etc. I also have 3 years of experience with house/pet sitting, as well as 2 cats and 1 dog of my own. I am truly an animal lover, and I connect with animals on a deep level.
Reviews
Alaina is great and my dog loves her!!
Alaina always takes such good care of our pup and our home when sitting for us. We highly recommend her! 😊
Alaina was fantastic! We recently moved to the area and needed someone to stay in our new home for two nights with our dog. Alaina was right on time for our meet and greet and her calm presence immediately put us at ease. We felt super comfortable leaving her with our pup, and her consistent updates and photos were the cherry on top! I would highly recommend Alaina to handle your pet needs!!
Alaina was amazing! She has a wonderful calming presence and her love for animals is evident. Excellent communication and Otis loved her. I would highly recommended Alaina and we will definitely reach out again for help with Otis.

Safety, trust & environment
I would appreciate learning about your pet, what they like to do, and where they like to go for walks. I want to make sure they have the best experience possible! I try my best to cater both to the owner and pet's needs and preferences. In terms of drop-in visits and house sitting, I have the utmost respect for your space and will leave everything as it was when I arrived. I have several reviews on my profile, but let me know if you'd like any additional references or more information!
Information Alaina M. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know if your pet has any behavioral differences that I should be aware of, including having accidents, jumping, or anything I may not be expecting. I would also like to know how they typically behave on walks, just so I know what to expect if we do happen to cross paths with another dog or person. Thank you!
A typical day
I always make sure my animal friends have everything they need! I enjoy being outside, and during walks I am sure to let dog(s) sniff around and take their time. I am also open to taking dogs on nature walks, weather dependent!
Services
Alaina can watch in your home
Availability
I have availability for house sitting, walks, and drop-ins on most days. For house sitting, it would be ideal if your dog(s) can be alone for a few hours, depending on which days are needed. I should be able to find free time most days, but please contact me for what times you are looking for specifically! The more advanced notice the better.
