Information Alina M. would like to know about your pet
1. How many potty breaks a day does you dog need? 2. Does the dog take any medications? 3. Is the dog friendly with other dogs or do they need to be the only dog in the house? 4. Does the dog have a tendency to chew plastic things or shoes (so that I remove everything from their reach to keep them safe)? 5. Do the accidents inside happen (if so, I will need to make some preparations)?
A typical day
A typical day with me is built around the pet’s routine, comfort, and personality. I start by making sure they’re fed, hydrated, and feeling calm and happy. For dogs, that usually means a walk or some outdoor time early in the day to burn off energy and get fresh air. For cats, I check in with them, refresh food and water, and spend some quiet bonding time. Throughout the day, I mix in playtime, enrichment, and companionship. This can look like walks, playing fetch or tug, gentle training reinforcement, puzzle toys, or just hanging out together so they don’t feel alone. I pay close attention to their energy levels. Some pets want lots of activity, while others prefer a slower, cozy pace. I also make sure to stick to any routines you’ve established, including feeding schedules, medications, and preferred activities. Cleanliness is important to me, so I keep litter boxes, feeding areas, and living spaces tidy. In the evening, we wind down with more relaxed time and another walk if needed, cuddles, or simply being present so your pet feels safe and settled. My goal is for them to feel comfortable, cared for, and as close to their normal routine as possible while you’re away.

Pet care experience
Taking care of pets runs in my family big time. My grandparents would always have at least 3 cats at a time, plus would volunteer to take care of homeless cats and dogs. My childhood was full of rescue experiences thanks to the kindness of my parents' hearts. I am deeply committed to our furry family members and know how nerve-wracking it can be to leave your pet when you're going on vacation. Luckily, I have lots of experience taking care of pets from birth to their very last days and everything in between (medication administration, special care, baths and much more). My goal is to be pet-centered and give them exactly what they need - whether it's more space and peace, or snuggles and playtime.

Reviews
Alina is very friendly & loving as is her dog Oreo (a good companion for your doggie)!
Alina is a wonderful pet sitter. My cat has trust issues with other animals and people but Alina won over marsh and ended up trusting and loving her. She was very attentive with him everyday and sent me updates. Am so grateful for her and would definitely trust her with marsh again 💞
Alina is awesome ! She took good care of our dog and kept us updated through regular photos and videos.
Alina is such a caring and loving dog sitter! She genuinely wants to make sure every dog she watches is comfortable to their normal schedule, even my elderly pup that needs medication and attention. I would and have booked Alina again. She carefully honors your wishes if you want your pup to not have any other bookings around-- so book Alina quickly!
