Highlights
Pet care experience
reliable care you can trust!
With 15 years of animal care experience and 7 years as a pet parent myself, I bring more than just love to the table! I bring genuine understanding of the position you're currently in looking for care for your furry loved one! My husband, dog and I recently moved from Queen Anne to Duvall and have loved getting to enjoy the great countryside, otherwise a WA state native for the most part! My absolute favorite moment is watching pet parents see their animal light up and gravitate toward me right away. I never force it. I let every animal set the pace, come to me on their own terms, and build that trust naturally! Because no two animals are the same, and every single one deserves to feel completely safe and so loved, especially when meeting someone brand new! As a pet parent, I know the weight of leaving your baby with someone else while you're away. Will they eat? Will they stress? Will they wonder if you’re coming back? Those aren’t small worries, they’re real and totally valid concerns to have! When I take care of your pet, I take care of all of that too. Consistent communication, honest updates, and the same love and standard I have for my own. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in, boarding, house sitting, or daycare, I show up with my whole heart every single time! 🫶🏼 I look forward to meeting you and your pup and answering any additional questions you may have!

Ratings and reviews
Alina was the perfect fit for our family. The two dogs immediately felt safe and comfortable with her. Her spirt is kind and the like all dogs they knew she was loves animals. She took them for their regular walks and took them on an adventure to the park. The biggest testimony to her pets sitting is that the dogs were calm, happy, and napping after she left. She has the vibe!
Alina was an absolute dream come true, and we feel so lucky to have found her. From our very first meet and greet, it was immediately clear how knowledgeable, professional, and comfortable she is with animals. Our dog is high energy and usually shy and skittish with new people, but Alina connected with her right away. She even tried a few commands and tricks during the visit, and our dog responded instantly - something we rarely see with new people. That alone gave us so much confidence. Even our typically reserved cat came right up to her, which told us everything we needed to know. Alina went above and beyond with communication. She took the time to clearly outline the plan for multiple drop ins and an extended overnight stay, and she provided thorough daily updates with photos that gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. What stood out most is that it truly felt like she enjoyed spending time with our pets, and they clearly enjoyed her too. That kind of care and attention is priceless. When we returned home, not only were our animals happy and well cared for, but our house was spotless. She took care of everything in a way that allowed us to fully relax on our trip and come home without a single worry. We cannot recommend Alina highly enough. She is reliable, professional, kind, and incredibly attentive. We will absolutely be booking with her again.
Alina was an amazing fit for our dogs! We really appreciate the care and attention she gave them, especially when we booked her at the last minute. Highly recommended!
Alina was absolutely wonderful with my dog!! She was reliable, communicative and clearly gave so much love to my teddy!! I got regular updates and photos (which is super nice because I told her how anxious I get with people watching him). Teddy is very attention seeking and needs much love, and I just felt so happy seeing all the cuddle and pet photos of him. He was so happy and relaxed when I got back — clearly well taken care of! I would 1000% recommend and will ask for her to watch for me again soon!
I can’t recommend Alina enough as a dog parent and caregiver. She is incredibly attentive, patient, and genuinely love dogs. Whether it’s sticking to routines, getting in great walks, or giving plenty of love and attention, Alina treats every dog like their own. I’d trust her with my own dog in a heartbeat, and any dog would be lucky to hang with her!
Alina is the most caring dog mom and is goes above and beyond to makes sure all the dogs in her life are well taken care of. She is attentive, compassionate and makes sure the the dogs don’t get into any harm! I would highly recommend if you need help caring for your fur babies.

Schedule
Since we are all creatures of habit, having a routine and schedule is important for humans and animals so my schedule is flexible since I work for myself from home and my husband also works from home so there are two adults home 99% of the time available for potty breaks (if boarding at my home / or day care) Based on the pets needs, I am able to come up with a schedule that is ideal for the pet and myself and prioritize whats best for the pet always while updating the parents with notes and photos (pet sitting / drop in visits / walks)

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Our home is calm, routine-based, and very dog-friendly. We’re intentional about slow introductions, shared space, and making sure everyone feels comfortable and safe. Because we’re home throughout the day, dogs are supervised, engaged, and cared for consistently! Same goes for house sitting, I take being in my clients homes very seriously and am happy to help take care of the home while you are away!
Pets
A typical day
Our days follow a steady rhythm: • Morning runs and playtime at a private park • Sunshine time and long naps • Midday walks and check-ins • Afternoon walks and outdoor time • Calm evenings, dinner, and lots of cuddles We love being outdoors and spend a lot of time walking, exploring trails, and getting fresh air! Dogs also have plenty of cozy sun spots to bake in and relax if that’s more their speed!
