Pet care experience

Experienced with special needs pets

**Fully Vaccinated** **Please be aware that during holiday months (Nov-Jan) demand is higher so desired times for services may not be guaranteed. I will do my best to be as close as possible. Pets with medication and other urgent needs are a first priority. Thanks for understanding. ** I have a very flexible schedule but would appreciate at least 3 days in advanced for new clients so we can schedule a meet and greet so I can become acquainted with your furry friend and the home together. I can usually take last minute requests for return clients. I have lots of experience caring for dogs as I have helped my parents foster 'troubled' (timid or aggressive) shelter dogs and rehabilitating them to feel comfortable and safe and ready to be adopted out to a loving family! I have experience caring for all sorts of special needs dogs and cats, such as diabetic insulin dependency and seizures, and more. I have done this for many years and I loved every minute of it! In addition to that, I've lived with dogs and cats my whole life and have plenty experience with other pets such as rats, chickens, turtles, and ferrets!

Alicia was an excellent communicator, dependable, and caring with our cat who has two medical problems. She visited him on time, kept us informed on how he was doing, and took very good care of him! We would ask her back next time we travel and would recommend her highly!

Alicia always does a great job with taking care of my Goldendoodle when I am out of town! It takes a huge weight off my shoulder knowing someone reliable is stopping in to let him out!

Alicia is great with my large, older dog Willie. She is dependable and communicates well with me regarding our schedule. Speaking with her you can tell her love for all animals.

I prefer small to medium dogs for walking services, but I may make exceptions to larger breeds if they are well behaved on a leash. Any size dog is fine for in-home sitting. :) Aside from that, I don't really have any limitations, I have a lot of experience with dogs, I just ask that you give any heads up to things that you think I should know such as health complications or behavior difficulties so I know what to expect!
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.
