Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Alaina. I am a recently graduated veterinarian from Michigan State, pet lover, a medical laboratory scientist, and a professor. I have been working with animals of all shapes and sizes since before I can recall! For about a decade, I have been pet sitting, offering training courses, grooming, and caring for animals. Each client is given a customized care plan based on the needs of their home and pets. Vast experience in both behavioral issues and medical issues in the animal world is something I take pride in. It is my promise that each and every client is confident that I go above and beyond with each booking to guarantee the utmost satisfaction. I hope to hear from you soon! :)

Alaina was a superstar! Our pup had a great time with her even though he was a bit nervous at first. She exuded calm and loving vibes and he picked right up on that. She is knowledgeable, caring and goes the extra mile (literally, as she even picked up our dog!) We had a fantastic experience with Alaina.

Alaina really helped us out on short notice and kept us at ease with a few pictures while we were gone. She is quick to reply and communicate. Kona was happy and in good spirits when we arrived home.

Alaina is excellent! She's patient and incredibly reliable. When we return from vacation / work our dog is in great spirits! Alaina often sends pictures to assure us everything is going well and is very quick to respond to emails and calls. Alaina also goes above and beyond in taking care of our home - she brings the mail in and waters the flowers and garden.

A typical day

Where would we go on walks? Anywhere or everywhere! Walks, and of course playing ball, are some of my favorite activities when caring for an active dog. There are seemingly infinite amounts of trails, neighborhoods, and parks in the area to explore whenever the opportunity arises. For those who may have medical issues that come with age (or joint problems) that keep them from longer walks, low impact activities and enjoying some quality quiet time can also be loads of fun! Whatever the individual pet's needs may be, I'm here to ensure that they have the happiest and best experience possible.
