Pet care experience

Your pets BFF & belly scratcher!

I have 10+ years of professional pet care and handling experience and I’ve done everything to work with and around animals all my life. Most recently at your local pet supply store, working with animals and the newest pet products daily! I have professional experience walking and transporting multiple dogs at once, dog grooming, house visits and hands on exotic pet care and handling experience. I am no stranger to administering medications and caring for both senior pets and puppies or kittens. There is no pet too complicated, big or small, I’m eager to help! I’m proud to be a go to helping hand if a friend, family member or neighbour has ever needed anything pet related and hoping to be your future go to as well! I’ve just returned from 2 years travelling abroad and am looking forward to settling back into Canadian life and getting to know the furry friends in the neighbourhood. I am currently working hybrid 9-5 and have availability for potty breaks, and walks after 5. I am very flexible for house sitting and only go to the office twice a week. Please note, all house sitting is completed with the help of my partner Edward. Due to the extra pair of hands we are able to accommodate most needs and are flexible to create a stay that suits your pet best. I am fully equipped to take care of your fur baby and practice safety at all times. I am well versed with animal first aid and would take care of any pet as my own. I have experience with emergency situations and problem solving on the job. I am looking to keep your pets as comfortable, safe and happy as they would be with you! On walks all dogs are leashed and walked with all gear double checked and fitted effectively. Water is taken on all walks and ensured that fresh water is always available at home. Playtime and cuddles are always encouraged. Daily routines are carefully followed to meet each individual animals needs as specified by their pet parent. House Sitting bookings will be completed alongside my lovely Partner Edward, who has just moved from New Zealand to join me. He loves pets almost as much as I do and was a kiwi bird spotting tour guide for the last 2 years (not kidding)! If you have any questions or specific needs please don’t hesitate to reach out. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend(s)! If you’re new to Rover or booking with me for the first time, you can use my code: ALICID41650 to get $20 off your first booking with me! :)

Safety, trust & environment

Alicia is awesome! She takes such a good care of our cats that they are eagerly waiting for us to leave on vacation again (& book Alicia again) the moment we come back :)

Alicia was amazing house-sitting with our little Piper while we were away! She communicated daily and multiple times a day sent us pictures of Piper, playing, eating, walking and snuggling! We're so grateful for the peace of mind we have knowing Piper is in Alicia's loving care when we're not home. Thank you Alicia!!

Alicia has a lovely personality and that works well with my dog. She is punctual and true to her word - never cancels at the last minute etc. Additionally, she does her very best to accommodate my schedule, even though hers is so booked up. Sage is a fan and so are we!

Alicia was absolutely amazing with our Winnie!! She consistently shared videos, pictures and updates daily with us. Our dog Winnie was happy and well taken care of. We are so grateful to Alicia and would not hesitate to recommend her. She is caring, responsible and very professional. We would definitely have her sit Winnie again!

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs or training so I can prepare and become well versed with their individual needs in advance. If your pet requires detailed care, I am more than happy to facilitate a meet and greet before hand.
