Safety, trust & environment
I go above and beyond noting things like if the house temperature is uncomfortable for said pet. I keep them under constant supervision and won’t leave them alone for more than a few hours unless discussed otherwise. I am very thorough and will take extra time to make sure each pet feels comfortable and safe with a new person around them. I know what it takes to be patient with pets.
Information Alina D. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if there’s any quirks with your pet. For example, when watching my best friends doodle, she must do her dance around her bowl before she eats. But, only if you sit next to her without looking at her. I understand that each pet has their own goofy personalities and nothing is too silly.
A typical day
I love a walk or running around yards. I am a very active person myself so I’m never opposed to the dog park or simply running up and down the living room. I love tug of war or throwing a ball down the stairs to tire your babies out.

Caring for every pet like it’s mine
Pet care experience
My best friend of 15 years and her family have two wonderful dogs, a doodle and a lab who I have taken care of so many times. I even watched the doodle when she was just a few months old for about a week during a snow storm while her family was on vacation. They’re a handful but so much fun. I have also cat-sit for up to 3-weeks on end. Giving medicine, checking for packages, and updating if anything seems off.

Reviews
Alina is an amazing pet/house sitter! I've known her a very long time, and she has been caring for our family pets for the last 8-10 years. Alina grew up in a house full of cats; she has a huge heart for animals and is very responsible. I've done a lot of traveling in the past 3 years, and Alina consistently comes as often as I request, always doing a great job of keeping the litter clean, providing food/snacks/clean water, and medications when needed. She knows my cat well enough she will text me if she thinks his behavior is unusual or out of character. She's also great at making sure packages are brought in, lights are off, etc. I highly recommend Alina!
