Pet care experience

Your trusted pet sitter

I really want to take a moment to thank all my clients for trusting me with their fur babies, it means so much to me! 💌 I’ve been looking after dogs and cats for over 16 years, and this is more than just a job, these pets have become a part of my life and teach me what true “love” is. I’ve cared for them through all stages, from playful puppies to senior years, including my own Border Collie, and I understand the joys and challenges that come with health issues or saying goodbye. Every dog and cat in my care receives the same nurturing, attention, and respect I would give my own. I’ve had the pleasure of caring for a wide variety of breeds, including: 🐶 Golden Retriever, Lab, Samoyed, Old English Sheepdog, Bernedoodle, Portuguese Water Dog, Goldendoodle, Borzoi, Border Collie, Cockapoo, English Bulldog, American Cocker Spaniel, Shiba Inu, Welsh Corgi, Dachshund, Chihuahua, Maltese, Havanese, Bichon, Poodle, Mixed 🐱 Bengal, Egyptian Mau, Siberian, Ragdoll, Persian, Russian Blue, Foldex, Bombay, Scottish Straight, Br. Shorthair, Am. Shorthair, Domestic Shorthair, Napoleon / Minuet Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, giving medication or injections if needed, or just keeping them comfy at home, my goal is simple: happy pets, happy owners, and peace of mind for you while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment

Keeping pets safe, comfortable, and well cared for is my top priority. I create a clean, cozy, and secure environment where pets feel confident and relaxed, and I tailor care to their routines and individual needs. How I handle different services: 🐾 Dog walking: I always use secure leashes and harnesses, choose safe routes, and closely monitor your dog. I adjust pace and duration to match their energy, bringing water or taking breaks as needed. 🔑 Drop-in visits: I follow your pet’s usual routine and provide attention, cuddles, grooming, or medication if required. I also make sure homes are left tidy and all doors or safety measures are secured before I leave. 🏡 Day care or boarding: I accept pets from one family at a time to ensure focused attention and a calm environment. This service is currently available to returning clients only, please contact me for details.

Alaia was fantastic tending to my mom’s 2 senior cats while she was on vacation (and on fairly short notice). Her detailed updates kept us reassured that they were very well taken care of. She was also able to administer twice daily medication to one of the cats with ease. We highly recommend Alaia and would definitely use her services again!

I cannot say enough good things about Alaia! We have used cat sitters before, but no one has been such a perfect balance of communicative and independent. She told us what we needed to know but also paid so much attention to the information and care instructions we left her. Things were complicated slightly when one of our cats got sick 12 hours before we were scheduled to leave. We were so worried about whether we would still be able to feel like our cats were in good hands, but Alaia could not have been more adaptive. She followed the last-minute changes we had to make to the care instructions very well, and we always felt our cats were well cared for and loved. They don't usually warm up to strangers very quickly, but by day two of our trip, they were being super affectionate and playful with their new friend. Alaia will absolutely be our new go-to sitter, and we are so grateful to have her!

Alaia gave very attentive care to our cat's while my husband and I were gone for a weekend. My cats seemed so comfortable and happy around her, and I would absolutely rebook with Alaia. Thank you!

Before taking care of your pet, I like to know their vaccination status, any special needs or health concerns, and any behaviors that may require extra attention. I also ask about routines, favorite activities, and how they interact with people and other pets. This helps me provide safe, thoughtful, and personalized care so each pet feels secure and well looked after.
