The best care for your best friend!

Pet care experience

My husband and I have had quite a few pets while growing up (to include iguanas, birds, cats, dogs, turtles, ferrets, bunnies, snakes, hedgehogs, and a few others) and we both loved taking care of them every minute. Safety and comfort are my top priorities when it comes to caring for pets. I take this very seriously and in addition to the rover guarantee I have my own private professional pet sitting insurance. When it comes to boarding, unlike a lot of sitters I only take pets from one household at a time. This reflects on my rates and ensures that your pup/kitty is safe and gets as much individual attention as possible. We have a cat at home, but due to the house being separated into two fully closed off secured levels if your pet isn’t cat friendly we can easily separate them with no risks involved for either party. We have two very gentle kids in the house that would provide your fur baby with extra love and attention while boarding. A large and fully fenced in yard that is perfect for taking dogs out is available. They will be walked, played with and fed. If you do not need boarding but need check-ins, I would love to come by and feed, walk and play with your doggy or kitty there! If you have a high energy pup I would be delighted to take them for a run. I always provide lots of photos and updates for you to know what’s going on. If I am housesitting or doing drop in visits while you are away I also will be happy to bring in your mail and check up on the place.

Alina and her family are amazing pet caregivers! On short notice they agreed to watch our girl Freckle and after a couple days of adjustment (with LOTS of treats and pets and updates and pictures!) it was clear how happy and cared for she was there! She loved getting to meet their cat and hang with the family, we didn’t have to worry at all! Spacious yard and home and very safe. We are so grateful!

Alina took great care of both my dog and my cat we didn’t have to worry at all while we were away. She sent us plenty of pictures and was very responsive to messages. She is an attentive and caring pet sitter.

Alina is by far the best. Very personal, knowledgeable and professional. She went through all the details for care of my pet from arrival to departure. Always had the pet first ensuring needs were met, and asked the right questions which facilitated the comfort and attention required. Great feedback during the entire time. Would highly recommend her.

Alina does an excellent job looking after my spoiled little princess. She does a great job communicating with me during Check Ins. She takes extra care to ensure instructions are followed and comes up with solutions when my dog is being difficult. Highly recommend

Safety, trust & environment

We have a spacious fenced yard to keep your dogs comfortable and played with. I will be able to take them on walks and/or runs around the neighborhood as needed and feed on your preferred schedule. We have an extra large kennel available for your pets convenience. As someone is home most of the time we prefer not to use it unless specifically requested. I also have a reliable car for check ins at your place and will be able to pick up and/or drop off your fur child if you so choose in the event of boarding.

Information Alina W. would like to know about your pet

I will need to know any possible medical conditions, veterinary information and emergency contacts, feeding schedule, sleep arrangements (if they have their beds, need a human nearby, have to be kenneled at night or will happily sleep on the couch) and general habits/individual personality details that need to be taken into consideration. I will also need to know how they are by themselves in case no one is home for a short time. As I have mentioned before, we usually have someone home almost 24/7 so the most we expect the house to be empty would be for 1-1.5 hours a day at most. If your pet needs special accommodations or has human separation anxiety please let me know and I am sure we will be able to work something out!

A typical day

Our family love doggies and kitties of all energy levels and believe each one needs an individual approach. For low energy pups we have a large and well taken care of yard available at all times. Cuddles and scratches are always a must in our house (if your puppy enjoys those of course!). Doggies with moderate energy get long leisure walks around the neighborhood and in the nearby park. We also love to play ball outdoors with them and just playing around both inside and out. High energy pups get to go on runs around the neighborhood and local trails with me as long as they need it and the weather allows it during their stay here.

I am currently a SAHM with one child in school so I am available most days and weekends. My schedule is extremely flexible at the moment and I expect it to stay that way for a while. For housesitting I will only be available over the weekends (Friday late afternoon to Sunday evening) for now.
