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.
Qualifications
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.
Ratings and reviews
Alaia is a fantastic sitter. Very communicative and took good care of our 2 kitties. Highly recommend!
Alaia was an absolute lifesaver, and we cannot recommend her highly enough! We had originally booked another sitter because Alaia wasn't available at the exact times one of our cats needed his medication. Unfortunately, the new sitter really struggled to give him his medication and seemed to be causing him a lot of stress, so we panicked. We reached out to Alaia in an emergency and begged her to take over for the rest of our trip. Despite having a busy schedule, she went completely out of her way to make time for our cats. She did a fantastic job giving our cat his medication, and both cats seemed so much happier and more relaxed in her care. Alaia is incredibly dedicated, compassionate, and attentive, and it is so obvious that she genuinely cares about the animals she looks after. We are incredibly grateful she stepped in when we needed her most and would recommend her without hesitation. She is wonderful!
Alaia is great. She is a wonderful communicator and my dog loves his walks

Schedule
I’m generally available from 8am to 8pm. While I attend church on Sunday around midday, I’m happy to coordinate other times to fit your needs. I usually plan my schedule ahead to ensure every pet gets the care they deserve, and I can also accommodate last-minute requests when possible.

- 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.
