Safety, trust & environment

I work carefully with whatever requirements you have to keep your pet safe and comfortable in their home. Whether that’s crating them overnight, making sure they’re never unattended outside, or just giving them lots of cuddles, I’ll work with you to ensure your pet is just as happy and cared for as they are when you’re home.

Information Alaina M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors, and I’m sure we can work to make arrangements. While I have experience working with dogs and cats of all types (including large dogs and reactive dogs), I always like to know their personality ahead of time, so I can get to know them on a level that feels safe to them.

A typical day

I’m always happy to go on walks to explore the neighbourhood and see all the sights and smells. If walking isn’t your pet’s thing, I’m always happy to play with toys and treats to provide mental stimulation. And of course, I’m always ready to give lots of love and head scritches!

Pet Lover Willing to Come to You

Pet care experience

As a librarian in my 30s, I'm dependable, cool-headed, and reliable, but very easy-going. My spare time is usually spent curled up with a book or movie, and cuddling with my pets. At present, I have two dogs and five cats living in my (shared) home, with occasional overnight visitors, and they all get along wonderfully. I've spent my entire life around cats, dogs, and rabbits, and in addition to my personal experience, I have nearly ten years under my belt as a pet sitter. I'm always happy meeting new furbabies, and having the chance to spend time with them. I've never met a dog or cat - or any other animal, for that matter - that I haven't fallen instantly in love with. I'm looking forward to meeting your furbaby too!

Alaina was great! She was very communicative and our two cats trusted her. We will rebook with her again if she’s available!

Alaina was kind to our Meyer. She took such good care of him that he barely cared about us when we got back. Haha! Would definitely use Alaina's help again in the future.

We had a wonderful experience with Alaina ! She took excellent care of both of my dogs and kept me updated . It was clear that she genuinely cared about them and made sure they were comfortable, happy, and well looked after. I would not hesitate to book with her again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and trustworthy sitter. Thank you for taking such great care of my pups! 🐾❤️

Alaina was a mature, responsible and easy going individual to make arrangements with and a natural with our large clowny fella. Thanks Alaina!
