Experienced professional petsitter

Pet care experience

Hello, there! I have been fortunate to have many dogs and cats in my life since I was a child. Several years ago, my mother in law bought a pet sitting business and I was thrilled when she asked me to assist with some of her overflow clients. Now that business has slowed down, I have plenty of time to give to your little guy or gal! Let me help you care for your furriest family member!

Alicia was WONDERFUL!! She took excellent care of our cat who is normally somewhat shy around strangers. Alicia kept us up to date and sent pictures- she also spent nice quality time so our cat would not be lonely. We’re very fortunate to have found Alicia!! We will definitely use her again.

Alicia is extremely professional and great with my cats. She's a warm, outgoing person who clearly has a way with cats. She kept everything clean in the kitchen, and made herself available for whatever my two cats were interested in -- whether play or just sitting quietly. I would wholeheartedly recommend Alicia to other cat owners.

Alicia did a great job taking care of my cats while I was away on a vacation for a month. My cats were healthy and sound when I came back! Thank you Alicia!

Alicia was superb. I could enjoy my trip knowing Winnie was ok. They became good pals. I will use her again and recommend her to all

Due to the needs of my own pets (two cats!) that are fearful of other animals, in home care is unfortunately not something I am able to offer at this time.

Information Alicia F. would like to know about your pet

All breeds and sizes are welcome, though knowledge of any potentially aggressive behaviors such as food defense, prey drives, or territorial behavior is very important to be aware of prior to our visit.

A typical day

As I typically take cats, generally this depends on the pet needs! If they are shy or fearful of strangers, typically I will offer a snack with permission and quietly be present with them, to build trust. If they are a bit more social, lots of pets, play, and snuggles as they allow!
