Information Alaina & Nick D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that would help with their care. My preference would be for dogs that are good with cats or are uninterested in them.

A typical day

With a fenced in backyard, your dog can have as much outside time as you'd like. We can take them on a walk around the neighborhood and I also have plenty of toys, comfy dog beds, and treat focused games (like snuffle mats and puzzles).

Pet care experience

Hello! My husband Nick and I work from home and would love to watch your furry baby during the day. We are new to Rover but not new to taking care of animals. Besides having childhood pets, we have been pet owners for over 10 years. We have fostered and dog-sat several dogs in the past and have had a few dogs of our own but do not currently have any. We aren't ready to adopt another family member just yet but miss having dogs around occasionally. We have indoor and outdoor cats (all up to date on vaccines and are all fixed) so your dog(s) would need to be cat savvy or disinterested in cats. Your dog(s) would hang out with humans (and kitties) all day while you're at work or running errands. We have a fenced in backyard and could take them on walks around the neighborhood. Do you have a dog that can't go to regular doggy day care (maybe because they aren't dog friendly) or perhaps they have separation anxiety or need more frequent bathroom breaks, then look no further. We would love to care for your fur baby like our own.

Alaina and Nick were wonderful! My pup stayed one day during the day while I visited a friend nearby. He had a great time and was very well cared for. Communication was great before, during, and after his stay. 10/10 would trust Alaina and Nick to watch him again.

I cannot recommend Alaina highly enough! I was looking for care for my four cats three of whom have special needs, and she absolutely went above and beyond all my expectations. It can be stressful to leave special needs pets behind, but Alaina made the process completely worry-free. She was incredibly responsive, sent great updates, and handled all of their specific care instructions and medications perfectly. It is rare to find someone so attentive and capable. If you are looking for a trustworthy sitter who truly cares about animals, look no further. I will absolutely be booking her again!

I’ve had Alaina and her partner look after my cat multiple times, and they’ve done a fantastic job of caring for her — like many cats, she has high standards for the company she keeps. I get lots of pictures and an update when they watch her, and their attention to detail means I don’t worry about my cat or anything else. They also were lovely with my stranger danger dog, going at her pace and respecting her boundaries. I would highly recommend them for pet sitting!

I strongly recommend Alaina and Nick to care for your beloved pet without hesitation. They show their compassion for animals in the loving way they tend to your pet, consistently acting responsibly and attentively to meet every need. They have years of experience pet sitting and fostering different dogs. They look after my anxious, sensitive dog- and I don’t trust just anyone to do that!

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.
