Highlights
Pet care experience
Love spending time w/ furry friends
I have had and cared for dogs since childhood. I have experience with a wide spectrum of breeds, from the larger, more protective (German Shepherd), to the smaller, more energetic breeds (Corgi). I currently have a 13.5YO male Corgi, and have experience caring for senior dogs that require more attentive care (I recently laid my sweet girl to rest at 14.5YO, after a year-and-a-half long battle with kidney failure). In his prime, my little potato and his late sister were quite the herders, so I am able to keep up with high energy dogs. I have less experience with cats, but my empathetic approach allows me to always find common language with my furry friends.

Safety, trust & environment
My typical day with my senior, indoor corg includes going on a walk (or to the park) 1-2x daily, depending on his energy levels. I feed him 4 meals a day (versus 3) because he has a sensitive tum, and adding another meal later into the night ensures that he doesn’t wake up with an irritated stomach. I wash his food and water bowls daily with a mild soap to reduce exposure to harmful bacteria. When we go on walks, I make sure to give other people walking with dogs a wide berth, especially if they have a larger dog and are preoccupied looking at or talking on their phones. I always scan the ground for potentially harmful things careless people can leave behind, like chicken bones. I also allow my little guy to sniff to his heart’s content, because I read that for dogs, sniffing on walks provides enrichment akin to reading the daily paper.
Ratings and reviews
Aline was great! She followed through in every visit by spending time with our cat and making sure her needs were met. Constant communication with us and provided pictures in the rover card.
Aline is a true animal lover and possesses a joy and empathy that pets respond to. She is highly responsible and I would trust her to care for my precious fur babies any time. <3
Aline is an incredible caretaker of my loving pet. She comes every week and she is so gentle and patient with him because he is very skittish and tends to be anxious around new people. She has been spending time with him for 5 years and he still is cautious around her if that tells you how long she has been consistently patient and gentle for and how much anxiety this guy has. She is a saint, she loves the pets of others just like her own. She is always there around necessary scheduled times. I would highly recommend Aline for help with your pets.
Aline has been caring for animals for decades and is one of the most loving, attentive, and trustworthy pet caregivers I know. She has cared for my elderly cat and senior pitty mix while I’ve been out of town, and her consistent communication gave me tremendous peace of mind. Aline treats every animal with genuine empathy, patience, and affection, always paying close attention to their individual needs. I trust her completely with my fur children and would recommend her without hesitation to anyone looking for a responsible and compassionate pet sitter.
I have known Aline Kasbarjikian for over 15 years, 10 of which we worked together. She is a great critical thinker and unflappable in situations that would test the patience of most. Customers liked her and found her to be very knowledgable and approachable. Aline has always been an animal lover. It is abundantly evident to me how strongly committed to the health and wellbeing of her dog she is. I know he means the world to her and she would put him first and foremost before herself. She is compassionate and caring and animals seem to sense this in her and respond well to her. I think she would make an invaluable addition to your team of sitters. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions regarding her character or previous work.

Schedule
I currently work freelance from home, so my schedule is flexible to accommodate your (and your fur baby’s) needs. Though, I might need to run errands during the day or take my elderly parents to doctor’s appointments. But I conduct most of my business in the San Gabriel Valley, rarely venturing over to the west side of town, so I am always nearby.
