Pet care experience

Cats and dogs are my friends

Hi! I'm a lifelong animal lover who has been caring for dogs and cats since I was a kid — so pets have always been a huge part of my life. Honestly, I'm at my best when I'm among animals. 🐾 I've run a small rescue shelter for stray animals, personally funding all of its operations out of my own pocket — from caregiver salaries to food and medications. As a medical doctor, I was also able to personally administer medications and vaccines to the animals under my care, strictly following the vet's recommendations. That hands-on experience means I know how to spot when something's off, keep animals calm and comfortable, and give them the attention they truly deserve. Whether your pup needs a good walk and some playtime or your cat just needs a calm, caring presence while you're away — I've got them covered. I treat every pet like my own, and I'd love to do the same for yours! 🐶🐱

Second time booking with Alina and we couldn’t be happier! She takes great care of our kitty and they get along splendidly. Communication and updates are timely and thorough. We really enjoy working with her.

We are so happy we found you! Alina was incredibly kind, attentive, and went above and beyond in every way. Her notes and pictures were detailed and thoughtful — it was so reassuring to check in and know our cats were in good hands. She handled every situation with care, including a little puke incident, and made sure everything was clean and tidy when we got home. The best sign of all? Our normally grumpy kitties were calm and happy when we got back. We will absolutely be booking her again! Thank you!

Alina helped walk our brand new puppy so last minute right when we needed her and helped her feel comfortable in her new home!

Alina was great in every way, it was a pleasure to work with her. You can tell she really loves animals and made quick friends with our kitty, who is usually very shy with new people. Alina’s communication was excellent from the start, and we never had to wait for an update or a reply. She provided detailed updates after each visit with plenty of pictures. We would love to work with her again in the future. Highly recommend!

Alina is super responsive and communicative, she regularly provides photo updates and clearly loves animals. My dog Cash was cared for by her extremely well and help put my mind at ease while I was away. Highly recommend!
