Pets are my passion!
Pet care experience
I don't think I've ever lived in a home without a pet - dogs, cats, hamsters, lizards, birds, horses. I love all animals, and especially love taking care of them. I currently have two giant puppers, a Great Dane/lab mix named Keelo that we adopted from the pound about 11 years ago, and a St. Bernard named Lokee that just turned 5, so I do have years of experience with taking care of the big babies. I do have a full time job, but I can be flexible to walk, feed, play, love and take care of your pets during the day, on weekends, at nights, and also during my lunch break (depending on your location to my work, I work in Richmond). I can't wait to have the opportunity to meet you and take care of your pets! FYI: My St. Bernard is not very behaved on the leash, so I do have experience with misbehaved dogs - pulling, barking at other dogs/people, trying to run after squirrels, you name it.
Reviews
Alicia was wonderful with my fur babies. I will surely be using her services in the future. :)
Alicia is a very loving and nurturing dog owner to 2 of her own pups and treats others dogs with the same tender love and care. I have trusted Alicia with my dogs for over 15 years and she has kept my dog overnight several times. My dogs are always happy and tired from all the playing when I pick them up!!

A typical day
We can take walks anywhere - around the neighborhood, nearby parks, trails. My dog, Keelo, is relentless when it comes to playing with the frisbee (it's his favorite thing to play with). I have to literately make him stop playing because he's old and doesn't know his limits lol so I would love to play frisbee or catch with your dogs also, or we can simply just run around the yard or sunbathe (my dogs love just laying in the sun - plus it's a great way for them to get their daily intake of vitamin D!) Whatever activity you pet loves best is what we will do!
