Loving and Confident Dog Walker
I love dogs and like to walk dogs to earn some extra money for my household. I had a male Australian Shepherd named Gonzo who passed away 3 years ago when he was 10 years old. He was pretty big for his breed weighing in around 70lbs so I can handle big dogs. I took Gonzo to training classes which honestly trained me more than it trained him so I feel pretty confident in my dog handling skills. Gonzo had a fear of people which lead him to nip at people. We worked hard working with him to help him overcome this fear as best as we could. I think this experience has taught me a lot about reading a dogs emotions and catching signals before a bad situations appears. I now have a 2 year old mini aussie who we rescued named Betsy. We had to work with her to help her with her fear. She is finally in a place where she can comfortably encounter people and approach with no fear. Betsy gets a little excited around other dogs she's not allowed to approach but she is making excellent progress. Just like with Gonzo, we are socializing Betsy and training to give her confidence. A dog should be able to go on walks carefree and with a feeling of safety. I feel that a dog needs a confident yet a friendly companion while taking walks and I can provide just that.

Safety, trust & environment
I typically care for pets at their home. Depending on how your pet is around other animals and pets, I would consider taking care of your pet or pets at my own home. I have one dog, two cats, and a bearded dragon.
Ratings and reviews
As I'm sure most of us are, I am very in love with my dog. Due to this, the idea of leaving him home for long stretches of time was terrifying to me! I wanted to do everything I could to ensure his happiness, health, and safety. Alicia allowed me to leave my dog, Ike, with no worries at all! I knew she would take amazing care of him by walking, feeding, and petting him. My dog is not the easiest to walk, he pulls and is in constant search of squirrels to chase, and yet she still walked him with ease and comfort. I would recommend Alicia to anyone who has their dogs best interest in heart. Thanks!
Alicia has always loved animals and is on her way to becoming a vet tech! She has a dog, rabbits, and chickens - a true country girl! She will look after your pet like it was her own child.
Ever since Alicia was able to walk and talk, she’s had this incredible love and compassion for animals. Her animals are her family. From her dog, Gonzo, to her rabbits and chickens, they’re treated with much love and affection. Alicia always has her animals best interests in mind, daily walks, always finding ways to improve on the living quarters for her rabbits and chickens and, of course, her boy, Gonzo! I would highly recommend Alicia for the care of your pet. You can feel confident knowing that they are in the best of care.
I have known Alicia for 15 years and she has always been an animal lover and a great pet caretaker! She has taken great care of her puppy Gonzo through the years that I've known her and has made great strides in his training despite his aggressiveness towards other dogs. He always is the happiest dog and loves every second he gets to spend with her! She is always taking him on walks and playing with him. She takes him on car rides everywhere she goes and always makes sure he feels safe. She also is a great mom to the bunnies she has, and always provides them with the most love and care. Do not hesitate to leave your pet in her care, you will not be disappointed!

Schedule
My schedule is a little sporadic so I dont have a set schedule and usually do one-off jobs since I can't guarantee a consistent commitment due to my odd schedule.
