Information Alicia F. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any behavioral triggers or special needs. As an animal behavior major, it is my priority to ensure animals are comfortable and feel safe in their own homes, as well as maintain my own safety in new environments.

A typical day

I love making fun puzzles with treats or toys for pups and cats. I love to go on long walks/runs with energetic dogs, and I've got a mean overhand throw that is guaranteed to tire them out! With senior dogs, I like to read out loud to them and sunbathe out in the yard. I am also able to take pups out on field trips to the beach and hikes :)

Pets

Critter-obsessed, patient caregiver

Pet care experience

Hi, I'm a Wildlife Conservation, Animal Behavior and Biology undergrad that LOVES being outside! I have grown up alongside animals my entire life, and I know how to recognize behavioral signs before the reactions occur. I have experience with all ages and breeds of dogs, cats, barnyard friends, and exotic reptiles/birds/mammals etc... I am very seasoned in the patience department, and I love making fun puzzles with treats or toys. I frequently go on long walks/runs with energetic animals, and I've got a mean overhand throw that is guaranteed to tire them out! With senior animals, I like to read out loud to them and sunbathe out in the yard (if they are outdoor pets). I am also able to take pups out on field trips to the beach and hikes :) I live by the fact that all animals deserve the upmost respect, love, and support. I have dedicated my life to conserve the animals that populate the Earth and the habitat they depend on. I look forward to the next adventure with you and your pet! I am incredibly flexible with my travel radius and scheduling, reach out with any questions!

Alicia did an awesome job pet sitting Drax while we were on a trip. She was communicative, sent lots of pictures, took could care of Drax and they had a great time together. Drax looked like he got good exercise and had fun.

It was so nice meeting Alicia! Our cats were in great hands while we were away. She sent us regular updates so we never had to worry how they were doing. Would definitely book with her again!

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.
