Must love dogs...duh :)

Pet care experience

" Massage therapist with extra free time" Hi My name is Alina. we have a elementary age daughter who loves the puppies, and is here during the summer. We are also have an infant who was born at the end of 2022 We have one dog and came across this site and thought "perfect" I love dogs and have had them my whole life! I've also participated in dog clubs, 4-h dog shows, and obedience classes when I was young. Your dog/dogs will have a super fun time walking and playing at my place and get fun little doggie massages. They will always come home tuckered! :) About this sitter: Massage therapist with some extra free time. Hi My name is Alina. I have 1 dog of my own. Chiron is a mut and has everything from husky to chihuahua . He does like to be alpha so other alphas need not apply lol. He's a little grump at first but as long as they meet prior and he gets along its always fine. He's about the size of a small aussie. I came across this sight and thought " Oh wow this is perfect" I love dogs and I have had them my entire life! I've also participated in dog clubs, 4-H dog shows, and obedience classes when I was young. I own a car so coming to your home for sitting is easy. I am a massage therapist as well, so your pups will enjoy professional doggie back and belly rubs. Since I have fur children as well, I know how nerve wracking it can be to leave them in the care of kennels or strangers, I can assure you that they will get the very best in care and love while I'm baby sitting. I can't wait to meet your beautiful four legged family member and start a fantastic friendship! since I can remember I've been an active dog enthusiast! I've owned and cared for dogs my entire life! when I was young I was in 4-H and taught my dogs obedience. Why I love dog sitting I have been a lover of dogs my entire life! My parents had our old cocker spaniel mix when I was born, and throughout my life there was only a year that I didn't have a four legged friend! About my yard We live in an apartment, but there is lots of waking sideways near our place, and the Syracuse, Central park dog park is literally a few blocks up. I like to run in the morning so if your pup is up for 3 miles they can come with me! It is an apartment so we have stairs and an elevator. If your pup isnt fully house trained it may not work out. They have to hold it a little longer since we can't just open the back door. As long as your dog has a good bladder everything should be fine. We get them out every 4-8 hours (sometimes more) but we ask that they are used to holding it that long so we can be assured they don't have accidents. We have had some pups that like to mark, we can't have this. So if they aren't FULLY potty trained or have never been in someone else's house before it may not be a good fit. We ask for this reason that they all be fully apartment trained My experience administering medication Yes, as we all know this isn't pleasant. I try to soothe and relax the patient so administering is less awful.

Alina took wonderful care of our very energetic doggie! I was in a bind looking for last minute dog care and she accommodated my last minute request for care. She let me know my dog was doing great over the course of the weekend and sent pictures. She was very responsive and caring. We will definitely be using her services again!

Information Alina B. would like to know about your pet

Dogs that spend the night with us MUST get along with other dogs and be completely house trained! Unless it's a puppy, in which case we have a kennel for them. Any dog that marks regularly inside please don't inquire. With a infant we don't need to clean up regular messes. Accidents are fine. We've had dogs come with utis and thats understandable.

A typical day

We will go to the central park dog park or around the central park neighborhoods for walks, and play it out!! Your dog's sleeping arrangement Your dogs will either sleep wherever they like or we have two kennels if they feel better in there. I make my own schedule so if your dog gets separation anxiety I can provide 100% of my time with them while they stay. When I'm out doing my mobile massage therapy they will have the company of my pup , husband Ben, or the babysitter and baby, so they'll never be lonely. We are also moving into a place with a dog wash! I'm not a groomer but for $20 extra I'll give your puppo a doggie bath before coming home!! At least they'll smell fresh!!!!
