Pet care experience
Spending time with animals is one of my favourite things to do in the world. I grew up with a total of five cats— two of which came along when I was 7 (Filus and Gina; Filus passed away sadly on 05/02/2022). Before my days on Rover, I’ve done smaller pet sitting jobs in the past. When I moved here to Toronto in January 2023, I briefly stayed at a family friend’s house while I looked for a place to rent, and they have a golden doodle (Dudley, as seen in the background pictures), and Bart, a domestic longhair. As I grew closer with his family over time, they have put their trust in me to come look after the boys and take Dudley on walks and play ball games at the park. My parents are normally home around, so my family cats are used to having people around all the time. But on a couple of occasions, my parents have gone away trips at a friend’s cottage and had me take full care over the kitties. During my time through Rover, I have become quite popular with cats, so my big thing lately has been drop-ins. My goal now is to attract more dog clients and embark on plenty of walks. I reside in the good ol’ neighborhood known as The Annex, so if you’re looking for a dog walker in that area, ask away! I also offer house sitting for both cats and dogs sometimes, but have had to lower my availability due to juggling a second job (I’m a barista)
Reviews
Alina watched my two cats for two weeks while I was away on vacation. My girls were so happy with her and so well taken care of. Alina sent me constant updates and was very quick to reply to messages. I came back to very happy girls and a very clean home. Alina is our go-to sitter!
Ted truly enjoyed his time Alina. When I returned home Ted was still extremely tired from his walk and time spent with Alina. She made me feel extremely comfortable by keeping in touch with me and providing photos of Ted and his adventures with her. Which made trip out of town even more enjoyable. This was Ted's very first time spending time out with a stranger and my experience leaving Ted's cate with someone I didn't no personally. Ted is my baby boy and couldn't be happier with the love and care she showed Ted. I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for care of there pet. Especially an older pet like Ted who is truly a senior citizen in the dog world. Thank you again Alina your services were truly appreciated I can't thank you enough. You are amazing. Thank you Rover.com for introducing me and Ted to this extraordinary individual Gordon Hunt
After meeting Alina my partner and I were confident that she'd be the perfect person to help stay and look after our aging rescue cat while we were away on holiday. I'm very pleased to say that my initial instincts about Alina were correct! The entire time we were away, we received regular updates, photos, and videos of Alina snuggling up with our cat at our apartment. I could tell how much she cared for my cat and saw how my cat returned that affection to her in kind. Alina was thoughtful, considerate, and so, so compassionate, and the whole time I knew that our cat was in very good hands. Upon returning home, I was floored to see that Alina had again surpassed all expectations: the apartment was IMMACULATE. Alina had tidied and cleaned while we were away, which was not something we asked her for or expected, but shows just how considerate and caring she is. I am so glad I had the opportunity to meet and to work with Alina, and will definitely be calling her again for our next time away. Alina, we can't thank you enough for everything -- hope to chat soon!
Alina took great care of my cat while I was away! After my other cat passed, I didn’t leave my cat alone for over a year because he’s very shy. House sitting with Alina was a perfect solution. Alina managed to get Bear out from under the bed and kept him company. I was able to go away and not worry! She was attentive, pleasant and very caring. I would highly recommend her 🙂💕

Safety, trust & environment
I currently don’t offer boarding services nor doggy daycare, and I don’t have additional pets in my living space right now, so it won’t interfere with clients. I am available for services if it requires me to come to the owner’s home. With detailed care instructions for your pet, I am able to provide the best care. For example, if you need to keep your pet fenced from certain areas of your home, I can do that. Sometimes, some animals who live in the same home might not get along (I’m familiar with that issue, having grown up with multiple cats in the same living space), so don’t hesitate to let me know so I can keep the living environment safe for all your animals. Not to forget, I enjoy taking dogs on lengthy walks! I’m good at looking for lovely parks and spots to take your pets 🙏
Information Alina Magdalena N. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pet suffers from a medical condition that requires special attention. Let me know of dietary plans and restrictions your pets have. Let me know if your pet has other special needs to accommodate for. I can look after dogs of all sizes and cats as well
A typical day
I enjoy taking puppies to their local parks and playing different games they enjoy. If there are particular games or activities your dog enjoys, please let me know and I’m happy to accommodate! I also like to chill with furry friends at the owner’s home while keeping an eye on them

Availability
I excited to announce that I am now back in film school in full-time in downtown Toronto, and I also work part-time as a barista. That being said, my availability due to my job varies a bit each week— I get scheduled either opening shifts or closing shifts, 3-4 days a week. Let me know in advance to inquire about scheduling a time for a visit with your pets. If you are flexible about the time I visit your loved one, I do appreciate that :)
