Pet care experience
Pet care, brought to you by bike⭐
Shwmae, Alicia here! I am a highly experienced pet sitter & dog walker with 10+ years of cat ownership and expansive pet-care experience, including looking after dogs, cats, sheep, chickens and even some Icelandic horses! I have cared for many amazing pets across the UK, Ireland, France and Germany, which has been an incredible way to travel the world, connect with new people and enjoy spending time around the most wonderful creatures! I specialize in supporting anxious and reactive dogs — including those who've experienced trauma. I understand that these pups need more than just a walk. They need patience, consistency, and someone who can read their body language and respect their boundaries. Working for a local social enterprise that promotes accessible cycling has given me strong community values, excellent local knowledge, and a reliable, active lifestyle. I travel by bike whenever possible, allowing me to provide punctual, eco-conscious care for your pets. Back in Ireland I have four darling cats, all with differing personalities and needs, so I am expert in gauging pet behaviour and giving care accordingly. Under my high-standard supervision, I assure to always: -Feed pets adhering to your specific measurements, dietary requirements and allergies -Constantly provide fresh drinking water and refill frequently -Give all medicine as prescribed -Maintain all litter boxes -Give lots of love, attention and time to your pet (in a way that suits your pet best) NB - I would love to meet you (and your pets) before sitting - just to ensure contentment and clarity between all parties. Pop me a message with any queries!

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet's safety, happiness, and routine are my absolute top priorities. I provide a calm, clean, and secure environment where pets can feel comfortable and relaxed. I always follow the owner's care instructions, including feeding schedules, medication (if required), exercise, and any specific routines or preferences. I keep fresh water available at all times, supervise pets closely, and ensure they are never left in unsafe situations. During walks, I use secure leads and stay alert to the surroundings. If I'm caring for pets in your home, I will respect your property, always keep everything tidy, and provide regular photo and message updates - just so you can have peace of mind while you're away. ** I treat every pet as if they were my own, giving them plenty of attention, affection, and care (in a way that suits them best).
Ratings and reviews
Cannot find a sweeter and caring dog sitter than Alicia. Dogs loved her but we loved her more!💞
Alicia has been amazing with Skye. She is reliable, responds quickly to messages, and has been so patient with my anxious dog. She really takes the time to make Skye feel comfortable and doesn’t just pop in and leave, she spends quality time playing with her and giving her lots of attention. It gives me real peace of mind knowing Skye is safe, happy and well cared for whenever I’m not there. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Alicia to anyone looking for someone who genuinely cares about their pet. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Alicia was absolutely fantastic with my dog, Skye, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her. Skye is quite anxious and reactive around new people, so I was a little nervous, but Alicia took the time to do a meet and greet beforehand and really invested time in getting to know her. She even brought a ball with her, gave Skye lots of treats and fuss, and made her feel completely at ease. I was so impressed by how relaxed Skye was with Alicia – that’s not something she does with many people, so it really speaks volumes about how kind, patient and understanding Alicia is. Alicia arrived on time, kept me updated, and looked after both Skye and my home with great care and respect. It gave me real peace of mind knowing Skye was in such capable hands. I wouldn’t hesitate to book Alicia again and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable and trustworthy sitter.
Alicia looked after our cat Colin for a week, and was excellent. She kept us updated throughout her stay, and let us know how Colin was doing. She was also brilliant about dealing with Colin’s special diet. Alicia also looked after our house - It was cleaner when Alicia left than it was when we left! Overall I recommend Alicia as one of the best pet sitters that we’ve ever had.
Alicia has looked after my cats on a few different occasions and they absolutely love her. She is trustworthy, caring and treats them like her own. I 100% recommend her as a responsible person to look after your pets.

Schedule
I’m currently returning to university to complete a part-time Master’s degree over the next two years, which gives me plenty of flexibility to provide attentive, reliable care for your furry family member! At the moment, I’m completely available on Sundays and Mondays, as well as every evening during the week. I also start work at 11:00 am most weekdays, making morning walks and drop-in visits easy to accommodate. I’m hoping to reduce my working hours further in the near future, allowing me even more availability for study and pet care. I live in a spacious, pet-friendly apartment with access to a fantastic private terrace featuring a large grassy area on the rooftop. This provides a safe and convenient outdoor space where your dog can stretch their legs or your cat can enjoy some fresh air (if they're used to being outdoors and with your permission). Your pet will have plenty of space to relax, play, and feel right at home during their stay.
