Your pet + me = fun, safe & love

Pet care experience

Hi there! I have deep compassion and love for animals, especially dogs & cats. Personally, I’m a fur parent to a senior 15 year old Silky Terrier named Toby. He’s a true grumpy old man but keeps to himself and coexists with other fur babies when we have guests. In late 2018, I started volunteering at The Dog Cafe, a nonprofit organization that helps rescue dogs from kill shelters and prepare them for foster or adoption, while serving their own branded coffee and merchandise to customers. I have experience pet sitting (dogs + cats), boarding, and walking dogs of all breeds and sizes. From chihuahuas, terriers, and shih tzus to pitbulls, mastiffs, golden retrievers, huskies, and dobermans. My experience with this diverse list of dogs has taught me how to handle different temperaments, which is an important skill to have. In addition to having a keen eye for abnormal behavior in case of emergencies, I also have experience administering solid and liquid medication orally and in the ear for infections when a dog requires it. My availability is extremely flexible as I work from home. I also have reliable transportation so traveling to and from visits and/or walks is no problem either. I'm extremely excited for the opportunity to meet your fur baby and look forward to the experience.

We've worked with several dog sitters in the past, and we just have to say... Alice is THE BEST!!! We are beyond grateful that we met her because hands down - she truly is amazing. From the moment we met her, we can already tell how professional, detail-oriented, and attentive she is. Most of all, she has a sincere love for pets! Our dogs were drawn to her immediately. You can really tell that she cares for them; she has a genuine love for dogs and our dogs could sense that immediately. One of our dogs takes meds regularly and she did fantastic making sure he ate his meals and received his meds per his schedule. Another great thing, Alice is very communicative - she updates us continuously throughout the day with photos and doesn't skip a beat (which we absolutely appreciate!) We have never felt so at ease with a dog sitter - Alice was the first. If you're looking for someone sincere, trustworthy, kind, and has a true love for dogs, Alice is it. Without a doubt... we will always continue to use her services as our dogs already miss her dearly!

Alice took care of our pitbull Ansel for a week in our home. She was very understanding of our pup’s quirks and was confident in her skills, even with our 100lb baby. She was easy to coordinate with and we put in a few walks prior to our trip to get to know us as well as Ansel. On our trip, she sent us daily photos and videos and kept in consistent communication the entire trip. This kept us at ease the entire trip, knowing our furbaby was in capable and loving hands. We really cannot recommend Alice more for all pet sitting needs!

Alice was the first dog walker we've ever used and she was great with my 4.5 yo shepherd/husky mix! Never used a dog walker before because my partner and I was wary of finding someone to trust with our precious, but we had to use one for a week due to a trip. I scoured Rover looking at tons of profiles and reviews and finally settled on Alice. She handled our pooch with ease and there were plenty of updates and no issues. We even gave her a two page list of dos and don'ts and reminders and she was completely accommodating. Great that we now have a go-to walker and we highly recommend her!
