Pet care experience

Big Backyard, Cozy Home, Happy Dogs

I only accept one pet or one family’s pets at a time, so your dog will receive plenty of individual attention, supervision, and affection throughout their stay. As a dedicated dog owner, I understand how important it is to find someone who will treat your dog like part of the family. I offer a spacious, comfortable home with a large backyard where dogs can safely play, explore, and relax. Our home has no children or other pets, allowing me to provide a calm environment and give your dog plenty of individual attention. I pay close attention to each dog’s personality, routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and comfort level. For safety, dogs can be fed separately, and I provide close supervision during playtime. I aim to create a clean, loving home away from home where every dog receives plenty of attention, affection, and care.

My dog had a lovely stay with Alina! Normally, when we board our dog, she comes home anxious and needs a day or two to settle down, but after staying with Alina it was as if she had never left home. I will definitely use her devices again.

Thank you Alina. I know Ruby was well cared for and Alina went above and beyond to treat my dog as one of her own. She was also very accommodating when my timelines shifted. I highly recommend her.

Doggy Day Care • Nov 15, 2023

I would highly recommend Alina. She took great care of Bailey who is normally anxious in new situations. He loved Alina and her dog Chestnut. She kept me informed with pictures and texts throughout the day. She took him for walks and gave him lots of attention. I would definitely leave Bailey in Alina’s care again.

Alina took such great care of Penny! She took extra effort to ensure Penny was acclimated to her new surroundings. She sent regular updates and closely monitored Penny’s eating and other needs to ensure she was happy and having fun! Thank you Alina!

Schedule

Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide regular potty breaks, supervised backyard time, walks, feeding, playtime, and plenty of attention throughout the day. There is a small park and a walking trail directly across from our home, which makes it easy to provide enjoyable and convenient walks based on each dog’s energy level and needs. I am a true dog lover and genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs, learning their personalities, and helping them feel safe and comfortable. I can follow each dog’s usual routine as closely as possible, including specific meal times, medications, exercise needs, and bedtime habits. Since our home has no children or other pets, I can maintain a calm environment and provide consistent, personalized care.

Safety, trust & environment

I care for each dog as if they were part of my own family. I provide a clean, calm, and comfortable home with plenty of space to rest, play, and explore. Dogs have access to our large backyard for supervised outdoor time, and there is also a small park and walking trail directly across from our home for regular walks and exercise. I follow each dog’s usual feeding, walking, medication, and bedtime routine as closely as possible. I also pay close attention to their personality, energy level, and comfort around new surroundings. Dogs are always supervised during playtime, and they can be fed separately when needed for safety. Since there are no children or other pets in our home, I can provide a peaceful environment and plenty of individual attention, affection, and care.

Pets

A typical day

A typical day starts with a morning potty break, breakfast, and a walk at the park or trail directly across from our home. Around midday, I take the dogs out again for another walk and potty break, giving them a chance to stretch, explore, and enjoy some time outdoors. During the rest of the day, dogs can enjoy supervised playtime in our large backyard, playing fetch, indoor relaxation, short activity sessions, and plenty of attention and affection. I follow each dog’s usual feeding, walking, medication, and nap schedule as closely as possible. Depending on their energy level, the day may also include play sessions, enrichment activities, or quiet time in a comfortable space. In the evening, I provide another walk, dinner, a final potty break, and a calm bedtime routine. My goal is to make every dog feel safe, relaxed, and at home throughout their stay.

Before the stay, I would like to know about your dog’s personality, daily routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, house-training habits, and sleeping preferences. Please also let me know about any medical conditions, medications, allergies, separation anxiety, resource guarding, reactivity, or specific triggers. It is important for me to understand how your dog behaves around new people and other dogs so I can provide a safe, comfortable, and personalized experience. I also appreciate knowing which activities, toys, treats, and forms of affection your dog enjoys most.
