Here for them and you!
Pet care experience
I've dog-sat for a number of people, including friends and family. Trained my own dog from a puppy, including a number of tricks! I do have some experience bathing, but my specialty is in company and walks!
Reviews
Alicea G. cancelled a booking within a day of the start date.
My pleasure to write a review for Alicea, she is quick to respond and coordinate with and especially caring. The second day, my dog was quite lazy and didn't want to walk as much because she had been sick. Alicea had taken her out walking a bit but watched the dog's cues, Alicea coaxed her to keep up, buyt dog decided that was enough for the day. They came back.
I have known Alicea for 2 years. Her love of animals is very obvious. Alicea has stayed at our residence to care for our 2 large dogs for a week at a time while we were on a family vacation. One of the dogs was an elderly yellow labrador in her final year of life. Her name was Molly. She needed quite a bit of assistance with ambulation. Alicea showed such kindness and compassion to her. I felt so comfortable going away knowing that Alicea would pay such close attention to all of Molly's needs. More recently we have a new golden retriever puppy named Lilac. Alicea is really good with working with this puppy teaching her new tricks. Alicea also cares for our 6 year old dog Lila (German Shephard/Golden Retriever). Lila is so happy to see Alicea. Alicea enjoys taking Lila to the dog park and playing with her. I know Alicea is a dog owner and takes very good care of her own dog. Alicea is a responsible and caring individual. I would highly recommend her.
About Alicea G.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Although I cannot board pets in my own home, I can take care of pets in the environment around them. I would walk them around town, ensuring that they get the exercise they need, and even taking them to a fenced park, if that is something you feel comfortable with!
Information Alicea G. would like to know about your pet
If a dog can be off leash, if a dog is friendly with other dogs, and if the dog is comfortable with strangers petting him! I am happy to restrict any of these things if needed and be flexible to the needs of an individual dog.
A typical day
There are really nice trails all around New Paltz! If the sitter is comfortable, I am happy to explore some of these options. I am also happy to take dogs to a fenced in dog park, where we can play fetch, run, and explore!
Services
Alicea can watch in your home
Availability
I go to school full time, and work for a few hours a week in the office. Talking care of and walking your pet would be as beneficial for them, as it is for me! I have gaps in my schedule that would accommodate the typical hours people are working!
