Your pup is part of the family!

Pet care experience

I am a parttime working mom with lots of flexible free time to spend playing with your pups when you can't. I've worked on farms and ranches most of my life and have a great respect and love for all animals. I miss having lots of critters to care for since moving off the farm, so here I am to help you with yours! I've had dogs my whole life, for work and companionship and know how to handle emergency medical situations. You won't find someone more careful about making sure each pupper is comfortable, happy and healthy. I only take a small number of dogs into my care to ensure each gets the attention they deserve. Around the house, your dogs are treated like our own, from eating in the kitchen with us at meal time, to snuggling on the couch with us as we're winding down at night and a whole lot of playtime in between!

Am very happy with all the info & updates Alaina sent me during Bandits stay. Very caring & you can tell she loves dogs. Will use Alaina again for dog sitting. Both Bandit & I are very happy with Alaina's help.

Excellent care. Instead of leaving him home she took Windy to her Mom's to play with another dog his size. He felt very at home with Alaina. Made sure he went for walks to relieve himself.

What can I say. Alaina was great! This was the first time I have used Alaina and I couldn't be happier with her service. My 4 year-old collie, Charlie was on some medicine, during his stay with Alaina and so he wasn't eating much. She went so far as to hand-feed him, so he would have food in his stomach before taking the medicine. Now, being a single-mother with an 18 month old child, that was going above and beyond what she had to do and I commended her for it when she told me. Alaina, kept me well-informed, via texting and sent pictures and a short video of Charlie playing with her daughter, Noa. Charlie absolutely loved playing with her. She is a real darling and a cutie. Alaina told me about her experience with an irate customer. I felt bad for her. I think she does a fantastic job. I am a retired Army Officer and I would have felt very fortunate to have someone like Alaina working for me. If she had been in the service she would have received excellent evaluations and early promotions, because she is very knowledgeable and loves what she does. She is dedicated. She loves animals. She has excellent people skills. She puts her heart and soul into her work and is a great mother, also. I will definitely use Alaina again for future dog-sitting. Thank you for the outstanding service you provide Alaina. Sincerely, Tom and Charlie

Information Alaina D. would like to know about your pet

What is your dogs temperament around small children? I have a toddler and she loves to play with the dogs as much as I do!

A typical day

Walks in the woods, around the reservoir and at the nearby dog beach! Frisbee and tennis balls around my large private yard set back in the trees on the metedeconk. Lots of belly rubs and ear scratches and owner approved treats and chew toys! Warm snuggley spots for naps and plenty of fresh, clean water at all times!
