Taking care of your pets :-)
Pet care experience
****100% of payments will be donated to support Ukraine**** Hello, dear pets' parents! I would be happy to offer you my help. I am a very attentive, caregiving, and detail-oriented person. Currently, my family doesn't have a pet, but when I lived with my parents we always had several cats and dogs at one time — I have a huge experience. I believe that each pet is a personality, so any additional information may be very helpful to give the best care I can. Sometimes they need more time to get used to another person, so I'm very careful. Petting, playing, cleaning bowls before feeding and putting freshwater, clean-up feeding zone and litter box — everything to make your babies feel comfortable and safe. I'll send you all information about my visit, adding photos and videos. My schedule is very flexible, so last-minute bookings are also available. Thank you and see you soon!
Reviews
Alina was great with our pup! Responsive and reliable.
Alona was able to take my dog on short notice and spent a very nice and attentive day with her full of walks and attention! I got lots of cute picture updates and always felt secure that my dog was being looked after.
Alona was great walking Toby! She is very punctual and often able to accommodate last minute requests. She had a lot of patience with Toby, who was a little hesitant at first. Would definitely recommend :)
Alona is always so kind and attentive to my sometimes-ornery cat, Brynner, and I always know he is in good hands with her. Her daily notes and pictures of his furry face made me smile every day of my trip! Additionally, she handled a minor key-crisis perfectly; notifying me of the problem quickly so we could figure out the best solution. Mistakes are always going to happen, but her reaction and willingness to work through this one proved how seriously she takes her pet-sitting and her true strength of character. I highly recommend Alona! And if Brynner could type I know he would too <3

At home, the main rule is to close the door that leads to the balcony. Pets are allowed to relax on the couch. The home is smoke-free. I’m taking only 1 pet a day for daycare or boarding. During drop-in-visits and dog-walks I always follow the routine, which we discuss during our meet-and-greet
Information Alona K. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog is afraid of other dogs, how many treats I’m allowed to give, when it's expected to give a treat, should I say some commands while we're outside.
A typical day
It depends on the preferences of the dog. I always follow the instructions. If a dog is scared about other dogs, I would never go to a dog park with him. During the walk dogs usually lead me and show me what they want to do, and where they want to go.

Availability
Currently I don’t work and I want to support my people by donating all my earnings from Rover to help Ukraine. Usually I’m available after 9 a.m., but early drops-in and dog-walks are available too (around 6.30-7 am)
