I work fully remote which gives me the flexibility to take care of your pets everyday of the week. As I have the ability to work from anywhere, I can work from your home while spending the day with your pet! I also am available on weekends for housesitting, drop-in visits, and walks, etc. I am unavailable Monday-Friday from 12pm-2pm due to daily walks with two dogs.

Safety, trust & environment

I will always make sure to know each individual dog I care for and their temperament around other dogs, humans, and various surroundings/environments. I will always make sure the proper leash and collar/harness are used to ensure the dog walks comfortably. If at someone’s house, I will make sure the dog does not have access to anything dangerous. Safety is a top priority when I am taking care of someone’s fur baby!

Information Alina R. would like to know about your pet

It is important to know how your dog is around other dogs, cats, kids, etc. Knowing how your dog behaves on walks and what might set them off is equally important. I strive to maintain a comfortable environment that does not stray too far from what your dog is used to, so knowing what their daily schedule looks like and situations they are uncomfortable with is vital.

A typical day

I am a very active person who enjoys going on multiple walks a day. As long as your dog(s) is capable, we will go on multiple walks a day, play outside, play with toys, etc. Dogs need balance in their life, which means we can also be couch potatoes after an active day. I am happy to stimulate your dog with various activities and of course, your dog(s) will be showered with love and affection.

Pet care experience

I have always loved animals, especially dogs. In fact, my aunt’s dog was the first reason I ever smiled as a baby! I have always surrounded myself with dogs and cats, and used to show Pointers.

Alina thought of everything while dropping in on our dog & cat while we were away! Both our animals and our home was well taken care of by Alina we were so grateful to have her doing check-ins, we had great communication and our fur babies received plenty of love and treats!

Alina is the absolute best! My baby was not very nice to her this time and she stayed calm, kind and understanding. She continues to exceed my expectations 😊

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
