Paw-some pal to your furry friend

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Alia. I’ve had dogs all my life, and have been offering professional pet sitting services since 2015. I’d love to help keep your pets company while you’re away. I currently have two dogs, and I know how important it is to be able to trust that your petsitter will treat them with the love and attention that you would yourself. While I’ve never trained dogs professionally, I’ve always taken dogs I’ve owned to training classes, and feel like that practice has gotten me very comfortable with a wide range of skills related to animal care. I have experience with a wide range of breeds, energy levels, and behavioral needs, and always look forward to the opportunity to make new canine friends!

We were a bit nervous about leaving the dogs, but as soon as we met Alia, we knew they were in good hands. Her love for animals shines through, and the regular updates and photos sent kept our minds at ease the whole time we were gone. Alia, thanks again for being so reliable and communicative throughout the whole process.

Alia took care of our two dogs for a week while we were out of town. It was clear that she went above and beyond to ensure our dogs were not only well taken care of but also showered with love and attention. They were just as nervous to be separated from their "pack" as we were, but we felt much better given Alia's gentle and friendly approach to them and her reliable communication when we were in service. After we arrived home, we returned to find everything in perfect order, which speaks volumes about her respect for our space and attention to detail. We will certainly be reaching out to her again for future trips without hesitation.

Alia did a good taking care of our dog. She was a bit messy in the kitchen, hence the 4 stars rating.

Alia was reliable, friendly, and communicative. We will definitely seek her out in the future when we have other trips. It felt so much better having Alia housesit/dogsit for us than taking our two dogs to a kennel. She sent updates and pictures and it put our minds at ease that our dogs were being cared for by a responsible fellow dog-lover!

Safety, trust & environment

While caring for your dog, I am dedicated to providing the level of care that you would yourself. Other than attending classes, I make sure to prioritize time at home while dog sitting so that you don’t need to worry about pups getting lonely, and make sure to keep pet parents in the loop about how their stay is going through photos and updates.

Information Alia B. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or traits- the more information you provide, the better equipped I can be for our stay together! I would ask that you let me know if your dog has separation anxiety that manifests in barking or whining, or can be reactive around other animals—both are very good to know ahead of time so I can be sure to create a safe and comfortable situation for all.

A typical day

During my free time, I’m often out hiking or on neighborhood walks, which is my go-to for getting in exercise while dogsitting. However, I always make sure to tailor activities to best meet your dogs needs. For example, let me know if your pup is a fetch enthusiast, or more of a couch potato.

I’m a graduate student with in-person obligations two mornings and two afternoons each week. Other than that, I’m available as needed to provide pet care. I have two friendly dogs of my own, and am happy to bring one or both of them along if your dog wants extra socialization on walks. This does mean that I typically need to care for them while doing extended daycare or housesitting, but I can also often make arrangements if that doesn’t work well for you—let’s talk!
