Pet care experience
I grew up in an animal-loving household. We always had dogs, usually a few at a time, and through that I've gotten to know and help take care of many breeds, sizes, temperaments, and ages of dogs over the years. We've had a miniature dachshund, an Irish setter, a golden retriever, a boxer and multiple pugs. Since then, I've volunteered to dog sit any chance I could get. About a year ago, my boyfriend and I got our first puppy, a Basset hound named Edgar, who is certain to love your dog as soon as they meet. Edgar is a very friendly, fairly active (for a Basset) dog. He's been socialized with dogs and people since he was very young. He loves long walks in Southie, playing fetch, and cuddle naps- all things your dog can join in on if he comes to stay with us. Please reach out with any questions! I look forward to meeting your pup.

It was easy to leave our dog with Alina. She took in our dog as her own, and it was apparent that she has a strong love for pets. She was responsive during the planning and provided updates while we were away. We will definitely book with Alina again. Her dog Edgar was very excited to meet us and seemed like a good fit friend for our dog.
Alina and Matt were amazing! We brought Cannoli over the weekend before we were leaving to meet their dog Edgar. Edgar is a sweetheart and their apartment is very dog friendly, especially for pups who like to play outside. Alina sent multiple pictures daily and was very responsive to messages. Cannoli seemed sad to leave so we will definitely be using them again!
Abby stayed with Alina for the day and had the best time! Abby has a tendency to be very curious and pick everything up off the ground and Alina was SO attentive and so patient w her! She played w her basset, Edgar, went to the park and came home nice and tired :) We definitely plan to use Alina again in the future!!
Alina was AMAZING with our dog Pippin. He stayed with her and her dog Edgar for 10 days! She made sure he felt right at home with trips to the park, lots of play time and snuggles. Alina kept us updated with lots of photos and info throughout the week, to assure us that Pip was having a great time at his stay away. By the end of the week, Pippin and Edgar were best buds! We would definitely recommend Alina to anyone!

Information Alina K. would like to know about your pet
Having a dog ourselves, it would be great to know if your dog gets along with other dogs. We don't have any breed preferences as long as your dog isn't aggressive.
A typical day
We're in a great location in Southie that allows us to take long walks to Pleasure Bay and Castle Island with the dogs. We have lots of dog toys at the house, but feel free to bring your own. If there are special activities your dog loves, let us know and we're happy to incorporate them into their day.
