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
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.
Alaina is the best!
Alaina took care of my pup and before that of my senior dog multiple times. She absolutely loved them both and created the most adorable, heartwarming rover cards for each visits that made my time away so peaceful whether it was at work or a trip. My animal had the best time with her, she gave them lots of pets, lots of pee breaks and play for the dog and love and warmth for the cat. Followed all the instructions flawlessly, communicated amazingly. Best experience on rover so far and we had some great ones! We’ll be a repeat client for sure!!

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! :)
