Highlights
Pet care experience
Over 10 years of experience 🖤
I’ve been caring for animals for over 10 years and truly treat every pet like my own. I have a degree in animal behavior, experience working in veterinary clinics, and have been training dogs since 2015. I also have extensive experience with cats and a wide range of other species, including exotics (allowing me to offering in-home boarding for exotic pets). I’m comfortable adapting my care to different temperaments, routines, and needs, whether that’s an energetic pup, a shy cat, or a more specialized pet. My goal is always to provide calm, attentive, and reliable care so your pet feels safe and at ease while you are away 🖤🐾

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I know how important it is to trust someone in your home and with your pet. I stick closely to your pet’s normal routine so they feel comfortable and secure, and I take a calm, patient approach, especially with shy or sensitive animals. I’m very attentive to safety (secure doors, safe feeding, clean spaces) and always make sure your home is left just as you expect. I’ll keep you updated with photos and notes so you can relax knowing your pet is in good hands.
Ratings and reviews
Alicia was the best sitter ever! so lucky to have found her. She went above and beyond to spend time with our needy orange boy. Even the cats who hate strangers came out. Alicia is very knowledgeable and her extensive education and many years of experience arw apparent. She's so professional and trustworthy. Will book with her again!
Alicia has stayed with with my dog numerous times over the last few years. She sends regular updates and pictures that ease any nerves. When I return, my dog is just as happy as when I left, and you can tell Alicia took great care of her. And as an added bonus, Alicia is very respectful of my space and it almost appears as though no one was even there.
I will recommend Alicia all day, every day!! She is truly the most caring pet sitter I've ever had. She's made time to stop in to care for my kitties even at the most last minute request. She doesn't just come and go, she feeds them, plays with them, gives them lots and lots of pets to make them feel loved while I'm not home. I'm looking forward to having Alicia help care for my newest family member, a golden retriever puppy, cause I know she will be kind and gentle with the chaos that comes with puppy life and I know I can trust her in my home. Alicia is the best!!
Alicia recently started pet sitting for my cat and dog. Each time that she’s pet sat, she is thorough in her care that she provides and ensures my pets are in good spirits and get extra love and treats!
I’ve had Alicia stay at my house and take care of my dog Joy multiple times, and I honestly couldn’t feel better about leaving Joy in her care. I know my dog is safe, happy, and being well taken care of, which gives me peace of mind when I’m away. Alicia also has experience working in a veterinary office, so I really appreciate the knowledge she has about animals, their needs, and knowing what to look out for. It certainly gives me an extra level of comfort. She’s also helped train Joy, including working on her reactivity, basic obedience, and other behaviors, and I’ve seen a real difference from the time and consistency she puts in. Alicia is sweet, reliable, respectful of my home, compassionate about animals and genuinely great with my dog. It’s hard to find someone you feel this comfortable leaving your pet with, and I’m really glad I found her! You’ll be happy you did too.
Alicia is fanominal with my pets. A wealth of knowledge, skill, and experience. I know my pets are safe and expertly taken care of whenever she's around. From walks and check ins on dogs and cats to boarding small exotics I know she has it covered whatever they need and that they will be taken care of like they are her own. I trust her with their lives and you should too, book with confidence that you're getting someone who has studied and understands animal behavior extensively and who has the veterinary medicine knowledge and experience to keep your pets safe and healthy!

- Getting to know the little things about your pet makes all the difference! I’d love to hear about their personality, favorite activities, daily routine, what makes them nervous, and all those funny little quirks that make them uniquely them. The more I know about your pet, the easier it is to make them comfortable and happy while they’re with me. My goal is for them to have a fun, loving experience and hopefully look forward to seeing me again!
