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 did an amazing job walking our dog Sophie over the last 5 days! She was incredibly reliable, punctual, and took excellent care of everything. She asked all the right questions during our meet-and-greet, sent us great updates and photos every day, and even guided us through the different features of the Rover app, since we were first-time users. I highly recommend her and will definitely book again!
Alaia was super professional and knew exactly how to handle my super hyper dog. She was very reliable and kept me updated with lots of photos during her walk. She communicated clearly and was very punctual. Thank you Alaia ☺️
Alaia was absolutely wonderful – we couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter for our little boy! Our cat is usually very shy and wary of strangers, but from the very first visit, he completely let his guard down with Alaia – he even let her rub his belly, which is something he never does to others! That alone told us how trustworthy and kind she is with animals. She was incredibly attentive and conscientious every single day – she spent quality time playing with him, gave him treats, and made sure his food and water bowls were washed daily. The litter box and trash were always spotless when we returned, and our home was kept immaculately clean. Beyond the basics, Alaia went above and beyond: she sent us daily updates with lots of photos, kept us informed about his eating and litter box habits, and always responded to messages promptly and patiently. It gave us such peace of mind knowing our kitty was in such capable, loving hands. When we came home, our cat was relaxed, happy, and clearly well-cared for – which is the best sign of all. Alaia even left us the sweetest handwritten card that absolutely made our day. I feel so lucky to have found someone so responsible, caring, gentle, and wonderful on my very first try. I cannot recommend her highly enough – if you're looking for a pet sitter, look no further! Thank you again, Alaia – you're a gem! 🐾
Took great care of my dog, looking forward to having Alaia walk Lenny on a reoccurring basis!
I don’t think we would ever change to a different sitter!
As always, Alaia was absolutely phenomenal! The most wonderful balance of independent and collaborative. We truly have never had a better cat sitter. We feel so reassured that are fur babies are in the best hands when we are out of town.

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.
