Highlights
Pet care experience
East Village Pet Care🏡
Hi, I’m your neighbor Alina 👋 I live in the East Village, love animals deeply, and truly enjoy taking care of the little ones in our neighborhood. I’m a pet parent myself to both dogs and cats, so I really get how much love (and worry) goes into trusting someone with your fur family. I’ve done a ton of dog and cat sitting over the years, including pets with medical needs and rescued animals who need extra patience. My own dog has diabetes, so I’m very comfortable giving insulin injections and following detailed care routines. I’m big on listening closely to what each pet and pet parent needs, communicating clearly, and creating a calm, safe, affectionate space for your little ones. Your pets won’t just be “watched”—they’ll be genuinely cared for. I also provide at home grooming and bathing. Chat for more details!

The best and most reliable in NYC!
Alina brings so much affection, care, and communication to her pet sitting. She is responsible, keeps in touch, and attentive to my cats behavior. He is always happy to see her!
Alina was amazing as always! She was a life saver and came last minute to take care of Poppy
Alina is the best!! She took great care of my cat and clearly loves animals!
Alina was either extremely early or late on her scheduled walks. Our dog is scheduled to be walked between 5:30 and 6:00. One time she showed up before 5:00 because she needed something to do at the time of the scheduled walk. Instead of her communicating this to me, she just took it upon herself to show up early.
Alina was amazing with Boba!! Her daily walking summary card was always so silly and detailed - I looked forward to seeing it every day!

Schedule
My work schedule is flexible and I prioritize each pet sitting commitment to ensure that I can provide the dedicated time and attention each pet deserves. While I'm adaptable in accommodating various scheduling needs, I do require bookings to be made at least one day in advance.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I meticulously follow any specific instructions provided by pet parents, ensuring that each pet's routine and dietary needs are met with precision. For safety, I am always vigilant about securing entrances and exits. I also maintain a clean and organized space, especially in areas frequently used by the pets, like feeding stations and litter boxes. Trust is build through consistent gentle intersections and respecting pet’s personal space and comfort.
