Reliable, Enthusiastic Animal Lover
Pet care experience
I'm a trust-worthy and responsible PhD student who loves all animals! Besides taking care of my own four-legged friends, I have a lot of professional experience with animals. I worked as a veterinary assistant at a small animal and exotics clinic for five years. In addition, I have completed wildlife rehabilitation internships, helping to nurture and then release injured and/or orphaned native wildlife back where they belong. At these internships I worked with a variety or species, ranging from squirrels to black bears, and box turtles to bald eagles. I have also worked on various farms. I'm very observant and will be attentive to any changes in your animal's behavior. I look forward to meeting you and your pets!
Reviews
This was the second time that Dina watched our dog Brodie and we have nothing but rave reviews for her! She sent us pictures and updates every day which was so nice! When we returned home our apartment was neat and clean, just the way we left it, and she even washed the sheets. We knew that Brodie was in excellent hands while we were gone and we completely trust Dina to stay in our home and take care of our little guy! She is truly a gem and we look forward to having her watch Brodie again in the future!
In a nutshell, Dina is absolutely wonderful! She watched our 10 year old bulldog and we felt so comfortable leaving him in her care in our home. She took care of feeding him his special diet, administering eyedrops, patiently walking him at his slow gait, and giving him snuggles. We could tell he was well taken care of! She communicated very well with us, sending us messages and pictures to keep us up to date and when we returned to our apartment, it was just the way we left it. We are so happy that we found someone so reliable, knowledgeable, trustworthy, friendly, and sweet to take care of our little guy! We already have her booked again for our next time away and will continue to use her in the future!
Dina was absolutely wonderful with our pets. She watched my cats and fish in addition to my dog and she did a fabulous job. My apartment was pristine when I got home, including freshly washed sheets. She went above and beyond by walking my dog 20 miles in a 3 day span and taking him to the dog park. She also fed my cats for no additional charge. I wish she was in Philly all year round, because I would use her again no questions asked! I can't imagine anyone doing a better job than Dina did!
Dina was great! She came over before the day of the walk to meet the dogs and learn about them both. The day of, she texted when she arrived and when she left, and provided a photo so I could see how happy they were!

Information Dina A. would like to know about your pet
Before walking your dog, I would like to know if they are fearful of or aggressive towards people or other animals so that I can provide the safest care possible. If your dog is on any medication, I would also like to know about that.
A typical day
I love taking dogs for walks, running around with them in the backyard, and playing with toys. I also love cuddling with the couch potatoes!
