Trusted Dog Care in a Calm Home

I’ve been a dog owner for over 25 years and previously worked as a professional dog groomer for 10+ years. I have experience caring for senior dogs and administering medications when needed. Our home is clean, calm, and dog friendly with a fully fenced grass yard, space to play, comfy places to rest, and lots of love and attention throughout the day. I work from home running my eBay business, so pets are rarely left alone and are treated like part of the family while they’re here. I also offer basic grooming services such as baths, nail trims, ear cleaning, paw pad trims, and light brushing for an additional fee. To keep a safe and peaceful environment for everyone, I currently accept well-socialized, potty-trained dogs only. Meet-and-greets are preferred for first-time bookings.

Alicia and her family did a great job watching our husky while we were out of town for a long weekend. They sent plenty of updates and were easy to communicate with. Their puppy Charlie was super friendly. We would not hesitate to have them watch our dog again.

Hi, my name is Chris, and words can’t express how thankful I am for Alicia with Rover. She has been an absolute blessing in my life and in my elderly puppy’s life. Whether it’s a quick afternoon visit, a long walk, or a fun play date, my sweet boy lights up the moment he sees her. The comfort and happiness she brings him mean everything to me. Alicia’s home is a safe and loving place. Her yard is securely fenced, and her children are so kind, patient, and gentle with animals. It’s clear that they all truly love and understand dogs. Alicia’s years of experience and her natural way with animals make me feel completely at ease every time I leave my boy in her care. I honestly don’t know what I would do without Alicia. She treats my dog as if he were her own, and that kind of care is priceless. People like Alicia are rare, and I feel so blessed to have her in our lives. Thank you, Alicia, from the bottom of my heart.

Alicia is an amazing pet caregiver! My dog loves her and I’m always confident my boy is in good hands with her. I highly recommend!

Calendar and availability

Schedule

I work from home running my eBay business, so I have a flexible schedule and pets are rarely left alone. Our family enjoys walks, outdoor time, and giving dogs lots of attention throughout the day. I’m able to provide regular potty breaks, playtime, feeding schedules, medication administration if needed, and a calm environment for rest and cuddles. I typically do best with well-socialized, potty-trained dogs who enjoy a relaxed home setting.

Safety, trust & environment

We have a fully fenced backyard with plenty of grass and room to explore. Our home is clean, dog friendly, and located near a park with walking paths for extra exercise and enrichment. Safety is very important to me, and I always try to make pets feel comfortable, secure, and loved while they’re away from home. I have experience with senior dogs and understand the importance of patience, supervision, and routine. To keep a calm environment for all pets and children in the home, I currently accept well-socialized, potty-trained dogs only.

Pets

A typical day

Dogs in my care get lots of attention, outdoor time, play, and cozy rest throughout the day. Mornings usually start with potty breaks, breakfast, and time outside to sniff, explore, and burn off some energy. Depending on each dog’s personality and activity level, we may go for walks, enjoy playtime in the yard, or relax indoors with toys and cuddles throughout the day. I work from home, so pets are rarely left alone and get plenty of supervision and companionship. I try to keep dogs on their normal routines as much as possible so they feel comfortable and at home during their stay. Evenings include dinner, more potty breaks, relaxing time, comfy beds for sleeping, and an occasional treat or enrichment toy for fun.

Please let me know if your dog is fully potty trained, well-socialized, and comfortable around children and other dogs. I also appreciate knowing about any medications, anxieties, marking behaviors, or special routines ahead of time. To keep a safe and peaceful environment for all pets and children in the home, I currently accept friendly, well-behaved dogs only.
