Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable, Fun Caretaker
What sets me apart is my combination of hands-on experience and genuine passion for animal care. I’m currently studying to become a dog trainer, which allows me to go beyond basic sitting by reinforcing good behaviors, working on basic commands, and helping puppies build positive habits like potty training, crate training, and leash manners. I also have experience working in an animal hospital setting, so I’m comfortable recognizing changes in behavior or health and can confidently handle situations that may require extra attention. I’m experienced with senior pets as well, providing gentle care, administering medications if needed, and making sure they stay comfortable and stress-free. In addition, I have a calm home environment with a fenced yard and a nearby park for safe exercise and enrichment. I also have a retired service dog and a service dog in training, so I’m very familiar with structured routines, patience, and maintaining a peaceful environment around other animals.

Safety, trust & environment
I provide attentive, individualized care depending on each pet’s needs and the service requested. In my home, I create a calm, safe environment with plenty of supervision, structured routines, and enrichment like walks, playtime, and mental stimulation. I make sure pets are comfortable, well-exercised, and stick closely to their normal feeding and potty schedules.
Ratings and reviews
Alina M. cancelled a booking within a day of the start date.
So grateful for Alina! I was in a bind last minute and she was more than willing to help! She communicated with me the perfect amount and was patient with Caesar who can be shy at first. Incredibly happy with her professionalism and willingness to help and would highly recommend her and will absolutely book her in the future!

Schedule
Hi! I’m Alina❤️ I’m currently studying to become a professional dog trainer and absolutely love learning more about canine behavior every day. I’ve worked in an animal hospital setting, where I gained experience handling dogs safely, assisting with care, and administering medications. I’m comfortable with high-energy pups, shy dogs, seniors, and even special-needs pets. I treat every dog like they’re my own and focus on patience, structure, and lots of positive reinforcement!
