Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I am flexible and comfortable lounging with a couch potato or entertaining high energy pets. My personal pets are crate trained, enjoy learning new tricks, going on long walks, and relaxing on the couch. I keep all dogs on a leash, to prevent any accidents and train them in basic obedience. I keep my pets well socialized and watch mannerisms closely to avoid any aggressive or uncomfortable situations.

Alaina was great with the pups. She spent time with them and even took a day off work to be with them. I would recommend her and definitely use her again.

Alaina always takes such good care of my babies when I’m gone!! I feel at ease and am able to enjoy myself whenever they’re in her care!

Alaina was absolutely great. I have senior dogs who both get eyedrops and one has poop accidents. She took great care of them and I would definitely hire her again. I didn’t worry one bit about them while we were gone.

Alaina is amazing! She responded quickly to our last minute house sitting request, and promptly scheduled a meet and greet. We were rather nervous as this was the first time a non-family member would be watching our dogs and staying at our house. This nervousness faded quickly as Alaina provided frequent updates that included pictures and videos. We came home to happy dogs who barely knew we were gone and the house the same as we had left it! We will definitely be booking with Alaina again in the future.

If I could give Alaina 10 stars I would!! The pups loved her on our meet up! Lola was so excited when she came to sit that she was hopping on her back legs to get to her faster than my short legs would take me. Talk about making my heart melt! I got daily photos! She took the pups on walks and to the ball park to see friends. They were pooped when I got home from the airport so I knew they had fun with her! My house was just as it was when I left if not better! Definitely recommend and will book her again!

Schedule

I work as a substitute teacher full time, but have gaps in my schedule and days off giving me time to care for my own pet and extra time to fill.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Alaina can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
It is important that I understand anything that will upset the pet as well as what their favorites are. In addition, energy level is equally as important, I know my dog would hate to go on a three mile run and would love nothing more than to sleep on the couch.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
