Pet care experience

loving friend to your friend :)

Came from a big family with huge household, where we had 3 dogs and 2 cats. I took care of all of them. Not so long ago I have started to take care of dogs as a part time job, which for me is pure pleasure, because it's so refreshing and you can't find more sincere creation in the entire world who's always so happy to see you :) Even in the darkest days, they always know how to cheer you up. This is why I find this type of part time job most acceptable for me. I'm also very responsible, and if you worry too much I could send you short videos or make a video calls every hour :) Hope to hear from you soon

House Sitting • Dec 27, 2025

5 stars!! Thank you Alina for taking care of our French Bulldog, Cooper. Alina provided lots of updates with photos and videos, was super flexible, and I could tell Cooper was having a great time - I think he has a new best friend. We are normally quite anxious about leaving Coops but we felt totally relaxed knowing he was in great hands. Not only this but Alina left the apartment immaculate which was lovely to return home to after travelling. We will certainly be asking Alina to look after Coopie again. Thank you!

Alina and Mark were the absolutely ideal pet and house sitters. They were enthusiastic, friendly, helpful, generous, reliable, caring and pro-active. They would be welcome back any time.

Alina took care of my cat last summer, and I originally met her through another platform. I had just moved into a new apartment and was traveling back home to the UK, so my adopted cat was dealing with a lot of change and anxiety. We met in person before confirming the sit, and everything went incredibly smoothly. My cat, Prince, warmed up to her right away, which never happens with strangers. Throughout my trip, Alina kept me completely at ease with consistent updates, funny videos, and photos of Prince every day. It made being away so much easier. Since then, she’s sat for me two more times. I always feel safe leaving Prince in her care

I cannot recommend Alina enough as a house and pet sitter. She stayed in my home in West Hartford to care for my dog, Nalah, and truly went above and beyond in every possible way. From the moment she arrived, it was clear how attentive and loving she is with animals. She took Nalah on daily walks and even on hikes, and kept me updated with photos and videos every day, which gave me so much peace while I was away. Nalah absolutely adored her. When I returned home, the house was spotless (cleaner than I left it), and she even surprised me with a thoughtful “welcome back” grocery kit, which was incredibly kind and appreciated. Alina was respectful, responsible, communicative, and genuinely caring. I felt completely comfortable trusting her with both my home and my dog. I would gladly have her housesit for us again anytime. If you are considering her for a housesit, know that your home and pets will be in the best hands.
