Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog lover at heart
What sets me apart is the hands-on experience I’ve had caring for multiple dogs at once and making sure each of them feels loved and cared for. In the past, I’ve managed walking three dogs at a time with no problem, keeping them safe and under control while still letting them enjoy their time outside. I’m also very intentional about reinforcing good behavior, which helps pets feel secure and keeps routines consistent. I’ve stayed overnight in clients’ homes before to make dogs more comfortable in their own environment, and I always do my best to keep their routines as close to normal as possible. With this background, I bring patience, attentiveness, and reliability to every pet I care for.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Alina was fantastic with my rambunctious and sometimes neurotic French bulldog. She showed him all the love and attention he could ever need and was extremely understanding about his separation anxiety. My dog was so happy and well cared for while I was away—it gave me total peace of mind. I loved getting updates and photos, and it was obvious my pup was getting plenty of love, playtime, and attention. I highly recommend Alina to anyone looking for a kind and reliable sitter.
Very reliable and communicative. I appreciated all the photo updates and felt comfortable knowing my dog was well cared for.
Alina was amazing! Our Aussie adjusted easily. Alina communicated often which was great to learn how Ivey was doing. I highly recommend Alina and will use her again.
Alina was a wonderful sitter for my 10-year old rescue dog with some anxiety and behavioral issues. She kept me constantly updated with photos, and I have never had a sitter respond so promptly to each message I sent. She works from home and enjoys taking frequent walks, so perfect for my dog.
Thank you Alina!
Alina was AMAZING and such a godsend. She watched our senior golden retriever for five days and took immaculate care of her… even went to a pharmacy for us to pick up our dog’s prescription. Our dog is sometimes really anxious with sitters but based on all of the pictures Alina sent and the state Misha was in when we picked her up, I could tell she was well-taken care of. We would recommend Alina to anyone and will absolutely use her again!

Schedule
I work full-time M-F. I work hybrid, allowing me to spend half my day at home and half in the office. I live 10 minutes from the office, so your furry best friend will never be alone for long.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable whether in my home or theirs. At my apartment, we have a dog park where pups can play and socialize, and I take them on walks throughout the day for exercise and fresh air. Inside, I have pet-friendly furniture so they can relax, cuddle up with me during a movie, or keep me company while I read. I follow each pet’s routine closely, making sure their feeding, potty breaks, and playtime are consistent with what they’re used to. My goal is to give them a loving, stress-free environment where they feel at home.
A typical day
I love keeping pets happy, stimulated, and active. In the mornings, I’ll take them out for a walk so they can stretch, enjoy some sunlight, and use the restroom before breakfast. Throughout the day, I like to play games like fetch or tug-of-war to keep them engaged and entertained. There’s also a nearby park where they can explore and get mentally stimulated by all the different sights and smells. My goal is to make sure they have a fun balance of exercise, play, and relaxation
