Pet care experience

Hi there! I'm responsive & reliant!

Growing up I've always had a love for all types of pets, I've had a few family pets that I would take care of as well! What sets me apart from other sitters is that I strive to create a bond with your pets! Usually, I would like to set up an appointment ahead of time to meet your loved ones and we can create a bond, I would like to take this time to see if they're comfortable with me based on body language & behaviors! I have experience working with all kinds of pets, and I've worked at boarding facilities. I have experience working with reactive animals and I currently have a reactive dog!! Any extra knowledge I have is because I have a great sister who is a veterinary technician!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I keep a close watch on my own pets as well as the pets I look after. I would prefer a list/note of what type of pet care you expect, for instance writing a note with your animal's daily schedule and when/what to feed them! If your babies have any allergies or if there's anything specific you'd like me to know about your pet please also disclose that information. At the end of each stay/visit, I make it a point to include a brief summary of how your pet(s) behave, just to bring you up to speed! I like to send lots of photos and videos of your pet, so keep your phone close to receive ALL the love from back home <3

Alicia has been great with our two pups. She's very reliable, and communicative. She sends lots of snuggles and pictures/videos so we can keep track of them while we're gone. We've used her twice and will definitely keep using her.

We found Alicia to be a very responsible person who truly enjoys caring for animals. She is loves playing with your pet and communicating daily activities. I would highly recommend her for pet sitting / house sitting. She does a great job with our rowdy girl. She exceeded all expectations while respecting our home while we we away. 10/10 will be booking again.

Alicia watched my dog for me on multiple occasions and she was absolutely amazing!! She truly tested my dog as one of her own and i can’t be anymore appreciative. She would send me update photos, updated me on his behavior and how he is doing, and made sure he was going potty on time. I could tell my doggy really enjoyed her presence, I highly recommend booking with her!!

Alicia is by far one of the best sitters I’ve had in a long time. She takes care of my babies as if they’re her own. I my babies in her care for 2 weeks and she came to my house on time, fed my babies on time and even medicated them when needed. She played endlessly with them and even slept with them since she knows they have anxiety. I will definitely be booking with her again, she does not disappoint.

Disgusted with my pets care. Thankfully we have multiple cameras around our home and were able to see the terrible care our babies received. Alicia left our dogs alone for 10 hours. I had to call her to find out what was going on. Had i not called, i have no idea when she would have gone back for our dogs. She returned him to his crate after only about an hour out after 10hrs locked up, for an additional 2 hours. Alicia was left calming chews with the express directives to try play first. She never took my dogs outside to play and still gave the chew. None of the things discussed and agreed upon were upheld on her end. She misled me with her schedule and promises that she would leave my dog crated for no more than 6 hrs at a time. I have rarely been so anxious and heartbroken over the treatment of my pets. I will never use Alicia again. I'm no longer certain I will be using Rover anymore either after this experience.

Please let me know if your animals have any special accommodations.
