Pet care experience
Teacher, Lover of Animals
Hello! I am a full time teacher and available during those holiday breaks when you're trying to get away for a quick vacay. I absolutely love animals especially dogs. I've had a dog which felt like my son for 15 years but passed away in 2018. Brownnie was basically my entire life and I miss him dearly. After the passing of my pup, hanging around my friends dogs have helped me therapeutically. Therefore while I am doing you a favor watching your pet, you will also be doing me the favor of receiving unconditional love from your pet. I am ready to have fun cuddling, playing, and running around with your furry friend. I can also service cats, turtles, fish, birds, rabbits and more. Just ask! House sitting services are available depending on a variety of things! (if interested, please inquire)

Ratings and reviews
Alicia was absolutely amazing with Omega! She kept me updated throughout his stay and sent the sweetest pictures and videos, which gave me so much peace of mind. It was clear that she was attentive, loving, and genuinely enjoyed spending time with him, from playing with him to making sure he was well cared for. I truly appreciate the love and attention she gave my fur baby, and I would definitely trust her with Omega again!
Alicia is the best! We are repeat customers because we know our senior dachshund is in the best care. Alicia keeps us informed, sends pictures, and responds in a timely manner. It is wonderful to be away from our fur baby, and know she is well taken of. We recommend Alicia 100%!
I’m giving this stay 2 stars because, unfortunately, my experience did not meet my expectations for the level of care and communication I expected for my dog. There were multiple issues throughout the booking that caused me concern. Communication was inconsistent, and there were times when I had difficulty receiving updates about my dog while I was away. Toward the end of the stay, I specifically requested an updated photo of him and did not receive one or a response to that request. Ultimately, I became uncomfortable enough with the situation that I arranged for my dog to be picked up early. What concerned me even more was his condition afterward. My sister, who picked him up, told me that he was shaking when he was returned. As his owner, that was extremely upsetting to hear, especially after I had already experienced issues getting clear and consistent updates about his wellbeing. I understand that every sitter and pet owner may have different expectations, and I do not leave negative feedback lightly. However, when someone is entrusted with my dog, communication, transparency, and making sure I feel confident that he is safe and properly cared for are extremely important to me. Unfortunately, I did not have that confidence during this stay. I appreciate that the unused portion of the booking was refunded, but that does not change the overall experience or the concerns I had regarding the care and communication provided. Based on my experience, I would not book with this sitter again.
This was our 2nd booking with Alicia. As with our first booking, Alicia radiates with warmth, and kindness. We appreciate that we can be away, and know that our fur baby’s routine continues. Received daily updates, pictures, and videos. We can’t imagine using anyone else. Alicia feels like part of our family!
Took great care of my pups
Alicia took wonderful care of my two dogs! It was so nice to not worry about if my dogs were okay while I was away, because I knew they were having a blast with Alicia.

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced backyard for your pup to roam freely. Dogs are allowed to roam indoors. Crates are used if I need to leave the house and overnight depending on the dog and if there are other client's pets in the house during your pet's stay. In your home, I am able to offer the care you prefer. Just ask and leave specific details if your pet has specific needs!
A typical day
Typical day may consist of car rides, dog walks, playtime indoors and outdoor play. Depending on weather, we could go to a dog park where your pup can roam with other friends!
