Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I have furry friends at home to keep your pets company but I can also keep them separated if that’s what they need! I am also able to crate if that’s what you prefer when I am gone or I’m okay with keeping them loose as long as they’re house-trained! I do not have a fenced in yard but I will keep all animals on a leash and will even walk them to ensure they’re getting fresh air!

Alaina took great care of my 3 kitties. Very caring, sensitive to their individual needs, and responsible. Highly recommend!

She's amazing! Alaina was so very reassuring and helpful. This is the second time I've used her and we will be using her again.

Alaina was so professional and helpful! She gave detailed updates and made sure we were up to date on what was happening with our cats. She administered medication well which was a huge help since we have a medically complex cat. We will continue to use her for visits in the future!

Alaina was the absolute best! From the moment we met her for our meet and greet, our dogs were instantly comfortable and our hearts were at ease. She took great care of our 3 dogs from the littlest dog to our very large dog. Our older dog takes medication twice a day and she had no problem making sure that was taken care of as well. We came home to our house looking amazing and you could tell she took great care of it. We also got lots of photo updates which we appreciated so much. We can’t recommend her enough!

Alaina was fabulous! I am so so lucky we found her! Our cat needs medication, including an injection, twice daily. This can be intimidating to take on, but Alaina was so willing to learn and did great with them! Even when it took a little longer than expected she was patient, stuck to it, and persevered. I am so happy that we have her available to us going forward and have already rebooked for next month!
