Highlights
Pet care experience
Duluth local & lifelong pet lover
I am a pet owner myself & grew up taking care of a whole menagerie of pets on a hobby farm throughout all life stages, so I am very experienced in pet care. More recently, I started offering pet sitting services to friends & family, but I am hoping to expand to more clients via Rover. I have experience with the needs of both young & old pets as well as high-needs pets. Generally, I am one of those people whom animals tend to love — &, of course, I love them back! I treat clients’ pets & spaces like my own. In addition to dogs & cats, I can also tend to other critters & even backyard chickens! I am also very experienced in taking care of plants, so I’m willing to offer this service as well for house sitting clients.

Alayna also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Safety, trust & environment
I am currently only able to offer care at clients’ homes, but when doing so, it is my goal to treat their spaces & pets with the same respect that I would treat my own with. Respecting & honoring one’s personal space & privacy is very important to me, as is communication. I believe that caretaking work of all kinds is an absolutely vital part of community & I take that responsibility seriously.
Ratings and reviews
Absolutely wonderful!! Very pleased with her care. Kept in touch to reassure me. Fur friends happy, fed, and healthy. Thank you!!!
Alayna was so sweet with our elderly cat. She provided thorough updates and lots of love and care.

After meeting with Alayna, I was confident that Smokey would be well taken care of. It was easy to communicate with her and she sent pictures at my request. She was flexible when my plans changed, hope to use Alayna again’

Alayna took great care of our cat, Tiny! We will definitely book with her again!

Alayna was absolutely wonderful with my senior dog, Busker! She stayed in my home for three days and made sure he was comfortable and well cared for the entire time - he's a goofy dog so that's not always an easy task. Busker needs a daily allergy pill, which she handled with no problem, and I could tell he felt relaxed and happy when I got home. It was such a relief knowing my pup and house were in great hands. I’d trust Alayna with Busker anytime!
Best pet sitter ever!! She's our go-to, super trustworthy and communicative. My pets love her!

Calendar and availability
Schedule
I am currently working part-time (mostly short shifts during the middle of the day) & have few time commitments these days otherwise, so I have ample time for dog walking, play dates, & pet/house sitting — both on weekdays & weekends.
- 0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsAlayna can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
- I would like to know what medications (if any) & food servings your pet needs. For dogs: how often your dog typically needs to go outside, preferred distance/time of walk, whether your dog does well with other dogs or strangers, & any other important information you feel is relevant. For cats: in addition to medications & food, whether your cat has a history of aggression towards strangers in their space (i own a cat myself & will probably smell like another cat).
- These prices are for 1 dog.
