I work full-time in person from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM, but pet care is still a priority in my day. I provide attentive morning and evening care, including walks, meals, playtime, and lots of love. I’m also able to stop by during my half-hour lunch break for a quick potty break or check-in if needed. While I’m away during the workday, I make sure pets are comfortable, safe, and set up with everything they need — whether that’s a walk before I leave, enrichment toys, or a cozy spot to nap. My evenings and mornings are fully dedicated to their care, and I’m always happy to communicate with you throughout the day for updates.

Safety, trust & environment

I exclusively offer in-home pet sitting, which means I stay in your home to care for your pets where they’re most comfortable. I do not offer boarding in my own home. While in your home, I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine — whether that includes specific feeding times, daily walks, medications, or just plenty of playtime and cuddles. Staying in their familiar environment helps reduce stress and keeps them feeling secure and relaxed. I treat your home with care and respect, and I’m happy to help with light tasks like watering plants or bringing in the mail. Most importantly, I’m there to make sure your pet is happy, safe, and well-loved until you return.

Information Alea M. would like to know about your pet

To give your pet the best care possible, I’d love to know: Their daily routine (meals, walks, potty breaks, playtime, bedtime) Any behavior quirks (nervous around strangers, leash reactivity, separation anxiety, etc.) Health needs (medications, allergies, recent injuries or surgeries) Training cues or commands they respond to How they interact with other pets, people, and children Any house rules they follow (furniture, crate use, favorite spots) The more details you share, the better I can make your pet feel comfortable and cared for.

A typical day

When I’m staying in your home, my goal is to keep your pet’s routine as normal and stress-free as possible. Here’s what a typical day looks like: Morning: We start the day with a potty break or walk, followed by breakfast and fresh water. I’ll also check in on any special needs, medications, or routines you’ve shared with me. Afternoon: After some downtime or cuddles, I’ll take your pet out again for a walk or potty break. If you have plants to water, mail to bring in, or other light home tasks, I’m happy to help. Evening: Dinner is served at their usual time, followed by another walk or some playtime. I keep the home environment calm and comforting, following your pet’s usual routine as closely as possible. Bedtime: I make sure your pet feels secure and cozy at night — whether they sleep in their bed, crate, or next to me (if that’s their norm). I stay overnight to ensure they’re never alone for long and always have company. I treat your home with respect and your pets like family. My goal is to make them feel safe, loved, and cared for until you're home again. ❤️

Trustworthy In-Home Pet Sitting

Pet care experience

I've been the go-to pet sitter for friends and family for years — caring for everything from cuddly lap dogs to shy cats and quirky seniors. Whether it’s belly rubs, fetch marathons, or quiet companionship, I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and making them feel right at home (even when their humans are away).

Alea sent us photos of our pups as soon as she arrived. What a relief to know she was there. The pups were so happy with her. Alea is professional and sweet. We will definitely use her again in the future and recommend her highly.

Alea did a fantastic job watching our pets and house. Paisley and Dailey can’t wait till the next time she comes to stay with them.

Great job watching our pets. They were disappointed we had to come home. Attention to detail and great communication.
