Runner w/ a lot of dog experience!

Pet care experience

I am an active person who runs daily, and I'll gladly bring your pup! I used to work in animal behavior. I have a ton of experience with dogs with behavioral problems or medical concerns, and I feel confident providing excellent care for any dog! I enjoy spending time with dogs on walks or runs, at the dog park (if they like) and exploring the area! I've been a dog owner for the past 15 years, and I know how important it is to feel like your pets are in good hands while you're away. I value open communication, and make an effort to ensure that you're comfortable and confident that your furry friends are in great hands! I look forward to meeting you and your pups!

Alicia was great with my cat! She playwd with him every day and took awesome care of the little guy, even though he got grumpy with her at times. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a cat sitter

Alicia was a great sitter for my cat while I was away on vacation. She was very attentive to Zoey and gave her lots of love and attention. Alicia was reliable and always sent me thorough updates with photos after her drop-in visits. She went above and beyond her duties by making sure everything was okay in my apartment and shutting the windows when it got cold. I highly recommend Alicia!

Alicia is a phenomenal and responsible dog owner! I am constantly impressed by how she singlehandedly handles walking her own two large dogs that are not always on their best behavior. Alicia works wonders by simultaneously calming her own dogs down and reassuring the owners of any fellow dogs and/or pedestrians that her dogs are friendly and safe. I would highly recommend Alicia to walk my four-legged friend!
