Pet care experience

Excited to make some furry friends!

I am a graduate from Oregon State with a BS in animal sciences (w/ a focus in animal behavior) and environmental sciences. I am possibly looking towards training dogs as a career so definitely trying to get more experience. We had a 13 year old family dog here in the Bay Area that has recently passed but will always stay in my heart. I have also helped to take care of my neighbor's and friend's dogs, allowing me to experience an array of personalities and sizes. I am caring and attentive and will make sure to keep your dog as entertained as possible. Your dog will be well cared for and I will make sure to pet he/she as much as possible because who truly doesn't love to pet dogs. I’m looking forward to adopting a dog sometime in the future but until then I'm just happy to be able to spend some time with your dog instead :) I also have experience in caring for cats as my roommate in Corvallis has 2 cats that I help to take care of regularly and I now have my own cat too!

Alaina took my lively dog on some great walks. He clearly loved being with her. She was very organized and easy for me to work with.

Alaina did a great job walking my black lab - she took the time to meet him and listen to our requests before taking him on an hour long walk. My pup came back happy and had a great time, will definitely book with her again.

I couldn’t recommend Alaina more. She’s the perfect pet sitter, very compassionate towards animals and super responsible and trustworthy to provide excellent care for your pet while you’re away.

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I was born and raised in the Bay Area and have now moved back here after graduating from Oregon State! I will be here for the foreseeable future and I would love to fill my free time with walks around the neighborhoods and playing with your pups! :)

Where your pet will stay

Safety, trust & environment

I make sure to stay attentive of any unusual noises, behavioral changes, and potential physical injuries for any animal that is under my care. I want to provide a safe and loving environment for all animals and people no matter the location.

Pets

A typical day

Having lived in San Rafael for basically my entire life, I’m aware of a lot of the parks, trails, and lovely (dog-friendly) places to walk. I can help to provide whatever level of exercise your dog needs to keep them healthy, happy, and enriched!

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Please inform me of any dietary restrictions, behavioral issues or triggers, and things you think would be best to avoid altogether while walking your dog! Any preferred area to walk in, park, treat, activity, and other things that make your pup special would be appreciated too :)
