Your Dog’s Favorite Walker!
Pet care experience
Even if it’s just temporary, my goal is for your dog to love and accept me like I’m a part of your family! My name is Alicia (aka dog guru by family/friends) and working with dogs is my absolute passion and my calling in life! In addition to dog walking, I am also following my dreams of becoming a dog trainer and even started my own dog training business at ‘Curly Paws Dog Training’! I love to work with owners thoroughly to truly understand the needs of their dogs! Dogs are family and with family, love, support and responsibility are needed! I understand how important our fur babies mean to us and how even more importantly it is to know a dogs triggers, allergies, and even their skills! Basic Skills like “lose-leash” walking, “leave it” and “look at me” are fundamental skills for dogs to have on walks and I’ll be more than happy to work with your dog on new training skills or refreshers to make our walks more enjoyable and of course, safer! Having a bonding relationship with a dog and their owners are so important to me and I will show that in my services, I cannot however, guarantee that your dog won’t miss me when I leave! :)

I hear Jeopardy gets really excited to see you and I love it!!!! I know she enjoys everything second of her walk with you. ☺️
Alicea is a lifesaver! She is so sweet and professional with my baby Buster! I can not say enough good things about Alicea.
Absolutely amazing!!!! I’m so glad I trusted Alicia with my dog. This was a first for the both of us and she made it a great first experience. I will most definitely be booking with Alicia again! Thank you so much for the excellent first time experience!
Alicea is the best! Buster loves her!! She is very reliable, sweet and is amazing with our Buster!!

I will treat your home just like my home and will follow all instructions thoroughly. I would like to screen your dog for the safety of your beloved pet and myself! This will include knowing your pets allergies, triggers, knowing their skills and all emergency contacts in a form I like to call our “Doggy Care Form” (provided via email) :). All clients MUST complete this form prior to starting our services and will be reviewed during a “Meet and Greet”. PLEASE NOTE: As much as I love working with dogs, I must respect your dogs boundaries and personal space, our first meeting will determine if I am able to work on-going with your beloved family member and if I will be a good fit! * COVID-19 Info: Please note I am fully vaccinated and boosted! Upon entering a client’s home, I am opting to wear a mask for continued safety of the virus.
Information Alicia C. would like to know about your pet
It is so CRUCIAL for me to know if your amazing dog has any food allergies or triggers for other animals/people. This would determine my training approach with your dog and would also ensure their safety. I also would like to know if your dog has any fear or phobias so I can be sure to be mindful of these things on are our walks. As stated, All clients MUST complete a personal “Doggy Care Form” (provided via email) prior to starting our services and will be reviewed during our initial “meet and greet”. PLEASE NOTE: As much as I love working with dogs, I must respect your dogs boundaries and personal space, our meet and greets will determine if I am able to work on-going with your beloved family member and if I will be a good fit!
A typical day
I love to stimulate your dog as fit! If your dog likes at home fetch, a power walk around the block, or trips to the park, we can absolutely work out a schedule to help meet their needs and keep them happy!
