Alaina

Hi, I’m Alaina. I'm a young professional living in Amsterdam Centrum. My own family's dog is back in Colorado, so I'm always on the lookout for new canine friends! Previously, I've pet-sat in the UK and around Amsterdam. I worked with a Staffordshire terrier named Lexi, a golden doodle named Sam, and a very chill retired racing greyhound named Jazz, among others.

Because interacting with dogs and exercising are two of my favorite things, I'm excited to use some of this free time to take dedicated care of your dog during a walk, an in-house petsitting session, or even doggie daycare in my ground-level apartment.

I grew up around my parents' standard poodle, Benny, whom I got to train as a puppy through obedience classes. Keeping Benny happy, healthy, and mentally stimulated is one of my favorite things to do when I'm home for a visit. We regularly go on long hikes and even completed a 3-day backpacking trip to the summit of Pikes Peak in Colorado over the summer (Benny was an absolute star!).

I’m happy to make your dog's next walk or petsitting experience engaging and tailored to your pet's personality. Does your active dog need to burn off some energy? I love being active and would be happy to take your pet out on a hike the next time I train. Is your older dog slowing up a bit and you're simply looking for someone to check in or keep her company while you're out of town? I'd love to keep her comfortable with food, bathroom breaks, water, company, and as many chin/ear scratches as she could ever want while you're away.
