Excited to make some furry friends!
Pet care experience
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!
Reviews
This time Alaina took care of our animals/house set while we were away. We have an elder cat and a young puppy so she had her work cut out for her. She did a fantastic work of keeping them happy, well taken care of, giving them all the complicated meds and supplements, and providing clear timely communication about any health issues (the elder cat has quite a few due to her chronic condition). She reaches out right away but also problem solves, is super eager to help, and keeps helpful, kind, non-judgmental attitude that helps pacify my own anxieties. We were lucky we could book her help for this trip!!
Highest recommendation for Alaina who took excellent care of our cat while we were out of town. Thank you Alaina!
Alaina was so great with our cat, Peanut!! She was extremely good with communication throughout, sending updates and cute pictures of Peanut during our time away. Peanut can be a handful (even for such a small cat!) and we have never seen her more relaxed coming back from a trip than when we had Alaina take care of her. 10/10 would recommend Alaina! Thank you again !!
Alaina has been great with my dog, Cooper. Provides thorough updates, takes him on great walks, is respectful, and punctual. Could not have hoped for a better person to spend this time with my pup.

Information Alaina A. would like to know about your pet
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 :)
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!

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! :)
