I work from home on a very flexible schedule, so pet care fits naturally into my routine. I’m able to give pets consistent attention in the morning and evening, along with regular check‑ins and care throughout the day. Whether your pet needs medication, playtime, or a calm, reassuring presence, I’m always available to support their needs and keep them feeling safe and loved.

Safety, trust & environment

When I care for pets in a client’s home, I focus on safety, cleanliness, and consistency. For walks, I always make sure the leash and collar or harness are secure before heading out, and I keep a close eye on the surroundings so your pet doesn’t pick up or eat anything unsafe. I also make sure they have fresh water and food in clean bowls, and I follow any routines or instructions you provide to keep your pet comfortable and happy.

Information Alicia C. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog or cat has any special needs, medical conditions, or behaviors I should be aware of. This includes things like medication routines, anxiety triggers, reactivity, food sensitivities, or anything that helps me keep your pet safe, comfortable, and happy. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can care for them.

A typical day

I love keeping pets happy and engaged. I enjoy playing ball, using their favorite toys, and going on nice long walks. I always match the activity to each pet’s energy level and comfort so they have fun, feel safe, and get the attention they deserve.

Gentle-Reliable-Experience-Pet Care

Pet care experience

I'm Alicia, a Husky rescue volunteer and proud mom to two adopted Siberian Huskies. I’ve cared for dogs my whole life, including pets with medical needs like diabetes and glaucoma. Animals are family to me, and I make sure every dog feels safe, understood, and loved. I’d be honored to care for your furry family member. Through my work with a Husky rescue, I’ve gained experience with dogs of all personalities — from shy and anxious pups to high‑energy working breeds. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes, from tiny seniors to large, strong breeds. I’m patient, calm, and confident helping dogs build trust at their own pace. At home, one of my Huskies is diabetic and insulin‑dependent, so I’m experienced with medication routines, insulin administration, eye drops, and monitoring chronic conditions. Whether your dog needs gentle companionship, active playtime, or special‑needs care, I provide reliable, compassionate support. I treat every pet like my own and make sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away.

Alicia is one of the best dog Mom's I have ever had the pleasure to call friend. She has gone above and beyond taking care of her animals in the 17 years I have known her. She is a recue mom that beleives every animal deserves a loving, happy home. Her latest rescue Lucky has had many issues due to his previous owners. Alicia takes care of his many issues with patient kindness. I would truct her with all of my 7 recues! Kind regards, Dana Fortson

Alicia is a pet-lover through and through. She is caring and super attentive, talking to them and making sure they have everything they need, and giving lots of pets. She's really detail-oriented, so nothing gets by her. She also has experience caring for sick dogs and stays cool in an emergency. I trust her 100% to follow any special directions, but also just to be a thoughtful and caring caretaker.

I have known Alicia for 5+ years as a loyal friend, dog owner, and responsible canine friend. She goes above and beyond to ensure her dogs are well cared for, even when they become disabled and have unique medical needs. She has extensive experience administering canine medicines, assisting with surgical recovery, and ensuring the long term needs of her fur friends are properly met. She keeps them well exercised, walking them two to four times every day. On the days she cannot walk them, she finds someone who can. I would highly recommend Alicia to assist you in caring for your fur friends! Every dog deserves to have Alicia in their lives!
