Information Alicia C. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any medications or special dietary requirements. For seniors, let me know if they need any accommodations, such as runners on the floor to prevent slipping, blocked stairs, night lights, etc. These are all things we did to accommodate my late senior dog when his hips and eyesight were getting worse and I'm more than happy to do the same for your beloved senior.

A typical day

I cater to what each dog enjoys best! If you have a couch potato, I have two of the comfiest couches ever, I even have an outdoor dog bed for naps in the sunshine. To get their energy out, we can play and run in the backyard. I love to treat my Rovers with special toys and lots of love. I have dog puzzles and a snuffle mat for mental stimulation. I typically take my Rovers on one to two 30 minute walks each day.

Pet care experience

24/7 care - Endless snuggles 💜🐾 Hi! I'm Ali, dog lover and dog mom turned human mom. I offer a loving home away from home for dogs of all sizes and life stages. I work from home, so your best friend gets 24/7 attentive care. Furniture friendly (unless you say otherwise!) and always ready to play and walk. I love to get to know each dog's unique personality and quirks. I love to spoil them with personal attention and make their stay as comfortable and fun as possible. I’m a total paparazzi when it comes to my guest dogs. I’ll send as many photos and updates as you’d like so you never feel out of the loop. I have a large backyard with a 6 foot tall privacy fence, perfect for sniffing and getting energy out! I currently have zero pets in the home. I have a 4 year old and a 2 year old so all dogs must be good with children. Thank you for considering me for your pet care needs 😊

Fantastic! She provided regular updates and was so helpful. The backyard was a break place for our dog to be. Would totally have her again and have already booked another time!

Alicia did a wonderful job again with Barkley! She takes him for walks and plays with him like he’s a part of the family. Great dog sitter for your furbaby 🥰 Thank you so much for taking such good care of him!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
