Hi there! I'm Alaina, a reliable, warm pet lover based in downtown Toronto. I've had dogs and cats throughout my life, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with animals of all temperaments. I've also fostered dogs in the past, so I'm especially comfortable with rescue pets who may need a little extra patience and gentle reassurance. I provide dog boarding, doggy day care, house sitting, dog walking, and daily home visits for cats. I don't have pets of my own right now, which means your dog gets my complete, undivided attention during boarding or day care. I'm most comfortable with smaller dogs (I am petite myself and not super strong), but I have plenty of experience with a wide range of personalities. My building has a dedicated, fenced dog potty area as well as a self-service pet spa for baths and blow-drys if your pup gets messy during their stay. There are also several great dog parks nearby that I can take your dog to for extra exercise and social time, with your consent of course. My dog walks are a minimum of 30 minutes within a 2 km radius of my home near Church-Wellesley. For house sitting, I cover a 5 km radius and stay overnight so your pet can stick to their routine in their own comfortable environment. Home visits for cats are a minimum of 30 minutes and include feeding, fresh water, playtime, litter box cleaning, and plenty of affection. I am detail-oriented, punctual, and I follow your instructions exactly -- whether it's a specific feeding schedule, medication, or a favourite route around the neighbourhood. I'll keep you updated with messages so you never have to worry. Whether you need a regular midday walker, a weekend sitter, or care for a longer trip, I'm here to help. I look forward to meeting you and your pet!
