Information Alicia D. would like to know about your pet

How's your dog's temperament? Do they get along well with small children? Does your dog enjoy a good belly rub? Is your dog a barker? Any health issues I need to know?

A typical day

Your dog will receive walks throughout the day in my dog-friendly neighborhood. My kids love to play catch with doggie visitors in the backyard. Also, lots of belly rubs.

1-1 attention while you're away

Pet care experience

I owned a Cocker Spaniel for 13 years and a cat for 8 years and it was the best experiences of my life. They were my children before I had my own children. That experience of being so connected to an animal made me even more sensitive to the bond that people have with their pets. I am very attentive to the needs of my pets often believing if I take a bathroom break so should they. I currently live in a single family home with my husband, 2 children ages 17 and 11 and my retired mother. We have a pretty spacious fenced in yard with plenty of room for playing and relaxing outdoors. My neighborhood is also pet-friendly with walking trails and parks. I am available from morning till evening hours. Know that I have a big heart. I care deeply and would love the opportunity to help you out. ***Please note that I require pick-up for overnight stays to be within 2 hours of the drop off time. For example: if your drop-off is at 8am, then your pick-up should be by 10am on the agreed upon day. If your pick-up will be after the 2 hour window, I will charge my rate for a Doggie Day Care or a per hour charge depending on the pick-up time. Don't worry, I am definitely flexible to unforeseen situations.***

Booking with Alicia was a fantastic experience! She responded quickly to my last minute request and made my pup feel right at home. She communicated throughout the stay with lots of pictures and updates. My dog has a blast and I highly recommend her!

Alicia was amazing! She treated Spencer like he washer own. She also took lots of pictures and provided us with updates multiple times a day. 10/10!

Alicia took great care of Kiko during her drop in! We appreciated that she took him on a walk and gave him some love and attention while we were gone. Thanks Alicia!

Alicia was a lovely sitter to care for my Cinnamon. Cinni was at home after the first meet and greet. Alicia was communicative and sent plenty of pictures. Cinni also made a new friend with her dog Tamarind as well. We look forward to using her services in the future.

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.
