Experienced and active sitter!
Pet care experience
I’m originally from the Houghton area and have been taking care of animals since I was about 9, which has included dogs, cats, horses, chickens, goats, rabbits, and lizards. I’ve fostered through my local animal shelter, and the first dog of my own was a rescue originally from Texas! I also have had a semester long practicum at a veterinary clinic. Friends have relied on me many times to care for their critters while they’re out of town. I love meeting new animals, getting to know their routines, and giving plenty of cuddles while I’m staying with them. I have experience with senior pets, have no problem administering medications, and am confident at keeping up with daily exercise for active dogs!
Reviews
Alaina's conscientiousness and thoughtfulness give me great peace of mind about our pets and home when under her very good care!
Alaina has done a great job looking after my two high energy dogs. I highly recommend her for overnight stays in your home to watch your fur babies!
Alaina was a great sitter for my boys! This was my first time having an overnight Rover sitter & I’m so glad it was with Alaina! My dogs require very specific care instructions & she handled them so well. Such a relief to have a getaway knowing my dogs are in good care.
Alaina did a good job of caring for our dog.
About Alaina B.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I love traveling to my clients. I will ask to schedule a meet & greet before confirming any booking, because it’s important for me to establish trust and get to know your pets! I am very flexible but will adhere to whatever schedule they are accustomed to, in order to make them as comfortable as possible! I really enjoy going on walks and spending quality time inside, too. I’m respectful when it comes to staying in someone else’s house and will follow all instructions I’m given. My clients’ confidentiality is important to me: I do not have my significant other or friends come to a house where I’m pet sitting unless I have prior permission, and absolutely no personal information from someone’s home will be shared. I’m also willing to take on additional responsibilities as well, if there’s anything else I can do while you’re away! If you prefer updates and photos, I can do that. If “no news is good news” is more of your style, please enjoy your vacation knowing your pets are well attended to!
Information Alaina B. would like to know about your pet
When getting to know your dog (or any pet!), it’s helpful to know of any medications, whether or not they get along with other pets, how they generally respond to strangers, and any known triggers. I also love knowing what makes them happy. If there’s a favorite treat or an activity we can do, please let me know!
A typical day
I am very active and willing to go on long walks with the dogs I care for. I do keep dogs leashed for all walks and would not leave them unattended outside. Supervised play in a fenced yard is a lot of fun - let me know what your dog likes best!

I’m currently a college student taking classes online (my goal is to teach kindergarten some day!) and I’m flexible in my availability for both during the week and weekends. I can be ready on short notice, too.
