Respectful and affectionate to all

Pet care experience

I am naturally a very empathetic person and that helps me care for animals because I tune into their wants and needs easily. I do research into the biology and psychology of different animals to also better understand them. I have raised and potty trained puppies, cats, and even rats. I also love to teach animals new tricks or games to keep their minds sharp and stimulated. I'm very energetic and bubbly so most animals enjoy my friendly nature, even aggressive dogs like me (because I know how to read them and how to act) Fun fact: I raised my own emotional support Fancy Rat who was litter trained and obedient. I have an open schedule. Routine requests are allowed but not required (whether that be weekly furrbaby sitting or daily walks...etc.). I care for all living things in a respectful and loving manner. I firmly believe in positive reinforcement and as-needed discipline. I am fully vaccinated. I have a 2 year old (as of this April) Great Dane named Haven Marie. And I also currently pet sit for my family, a Boxer Dane and Terrier mutt. Haven is very friendly with everyone, she loves dogs, she loves cats and kittens. She's well mannered and very energetic as well. She can come with or stay behind on any reservations!

I’ve known Alecia for over 15 years now and have seen her take care of many dogs and other animals during that time, she’s always been attentive and makes sure the animals needs are well taken care of, whether it be her own pets or the ones people ask her to look after. She’s a very responsible person and has always done a great job at looking after my pets whenever I’ve needed it, personally I would highly recommend her.

Safety, trust & environment

I don't use retractable leases, I walk with a clicker, and I like to harness any medium dogs or larger breeds when taking them on walks, so I can ensure the best quality of service and their safety.

Information Alecia S. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know.... - The dog's breed - Where the dog enjoys being pet as well as if there are any parts that are overly sensitive to stay away from. - His or her favorite activities - behavior or health issues (if any) - Do you have them on a strict feeding schedule? - How long have you had him/her? - Has your furry friend socialized with any other walkers/other animals besides the owner and family?

A typical day

I love to get dogs very active so they can stay physically and mentally healthy. I plan on walking, jogging, and running (if applicable) with the canines. I like to play fetch (or throw and watch them play keep-away) with sticks, Frisbees, and their favorite balls and toys.
