I work on a hybrid schedule, so I'm home Friday through Monday. Weekends are fairly active for my household, and we try to find dog-friendly places to explore. When I'm home, I take my dog out at minimum four times per day (breakfast, lunch, dinner, and before bed) since we live in a condo in Old Town.

Safety, trust & environment

Pets welcomed into my home will be loved and cared for the exact same way I care for my baby girl, Julie. Pups staying with us will receive many pets, participate in walks along the river, be given snuggles and treats, and be cared for in a safe, trusted, and happy environment.

Information Alaina L. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to know if your dog is reactive in different situations or environments. I'd also like to know if they have any allergies (environmental or food), what they are like driving in a car, and how they are around other dogs and/or people including children.

A typical day

Your pet will be in good hands! We'll go on neighborhood walks and outdoor hikes, explore new dog-friendly places, and spoil them with pets and owner-approved treats.

Pet care experience

I've been a dog mom to my sweet girl, Julie, since February 2015, but I grew up with cats, dogs, and even a chicken in Las Vegas, Nevada. In 2023, we moved to the Alexandria, Virginia area, and Julie and I are excited to meet new four-legged friends. I'm familiar with young, middle-aged, and senior dogs. Growing up, I house-sat friends' and family members' dogs while they were out of town ranging from small Chihuahuas to large Labradors and anything in between. Julie and I live an active lifestyle and go on at least two one-mile walks per day if the weather allows. We enjoy hiking and exploring new dog-friendly places on the weekends, but we also like relaxing at home cooking new recipes, or watching new or old movies.

Alaina was amazing with Margie. She took the time to meet her before taking on spending time with Margie. Highly appreciate the above and beyond approach. Margie was super happy and I was at ease all day.

Alaina has quickly become a trusted partner and pet sitter for Birdie. She sends pictures and updates, and makes sure Birdie is so well taken care of. The way Birdie reacts when she sees Alaina makes me so happy. We are both so grateful to have found Alaina!
