“After reading glowing reviews of Alina and finding that her profile met our exact needs, we inquired with her about watching our two dogs. She responded promptly and enthusiastically, then came by for a meet and greet later in the week. We left her with an exhaustive list of instructions, including some special needs for Lily, who is undergoing cancer treatment. Alina was careful and attentive in her care. She sent us updates and pictures at least once a day and immediately put our hearts at ease. We would not have enjoyed our vacation nearly as much without her and will gladly ask for her help again in the future. Thank you from all four of us!”


“We love having Michele come sit for us when we travel. Our dogs seem to adore her in the pictures she sends. She even took extra care of one of our pups when he was recovering from an prior injury.”

She's a great pet sitter and highly recommend her for visits and Longer stays. .”


About: Experienced & Compassionate Pet Sitter – Including Senior Pet Care I have hands-on experience caring for pets of all ages, including senior dogs and cats who need a little extra love and attention. I’m familiar with administering medications, monitoring for health changes, and creating a calm, gentle environment for older pets. Whether it’s daily walks, feeding, playtime, or simply offering comfort and companionship, I treat every pet like family. I’m also reliable, patient, and mindful of each pet’s individual needs and routines. I'm currently home all day, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your pets! I'm available for boarding Sunday-Sunday, all day any time! I adapt my care based on the pet’s personality, routine, and comfort level, whether in my home or the client’s. In the client’s home, I aim to maintain their pet’s normal schedule to reduce stress, including feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications. I make sure the space stays clean, safe, and calm while keeping the pet happy and engaged. If caring for pets in my home, I provide a pet-safe, quiet environment with plenty of love, supervision, and room to play or relax. I keep owners updated with photos and messages, and I’m always attentive to their pet’s behavior, mood, and needs. My goal is to give pets a secure, loving experience while their families are away.
