Wow! Alina is the DOG WHISPERER in human form. She really has a way with dogs! I have 3 rescues that are not acclimated to new people and and they LOVED Alina. Alina cared for my dogs as if they were her own, and is a great communicator , sending detailed updates and pictures the entire stay. Alina met all their needs including social food , meds and plenty of LOVE. I have a blind dog and he didnt want to leave her. My other two actually sat on her lap and said goodbye. She is a very tidy and conscientious caregiver. 10/10 recommend Alina!!!

Rose was the best sitter for our girl. She communicated throughout her boarding, with pictures and updates and it was totally appreciated. We could tell our dog had a great time with her, as she was so calm when we picked her up! Highly recommend.
