My schedule is very open, allowing me to easily fit into your routine. I’m more than happy to help with short-notice requests whenever possible—just send me a message and I’ll do my best to make it work!l Dog Walking 🐾 Walks are always tailored to your pup’s unique energy and comfort. Whether they need a quick, refreshing potty break or a long, curious stroll to explore the neighborhood, I make sure they get the exercise and "sniff-time" they love most! Boarding 🏠 Your dog will be treated like family in a safe, cozy home environment filled with snuggles and playtime. I stick closely to the routines and rules they’re used to at your house, so they feel secure, relaxed, and completely at ease while you're away. Drop-In Visits ✨ This is a wonderful option for pets who are happiest in their own space. I’ll stop by to provide fresh food and water, potty breaks, and lots of specialized care and affection based exactly on your instructions. Doggy Daycare 🎾 Your pet will enjoy a day of play and companionship in a safe, loving home! This service includes up to 10 hours of care. For those extra-long days, stays exceeding 10 hours will simply incur an additional extended care fee. House Sitting 🌙 I’ll look after both your beloved pets and your home so everything feels just as it should while you’re gone. Your pets get to stay in their familiar, comfy space with plenty of dedicated companionship and one-on-one love.

Information Alicia H. would like to know about your pet

Let’s Get to Know Your Pet! 🐾 To help me provide the best care, please share a few details about your fur baby: • Energy Level: Are they a high-energy explorer or a professional snuggler? • Play & Comfort: What are their favorite toys or "must-have" comfort items? • Social Style: How do they behave around children or other animals? • Safety & Quirks: Any specific behavioral quirks, fears, or triggers (like loud noises or bikes)? • Health & Diet: Any allergies, medications, or specific feeding routines? • Rules: What are their go-to commands and house boundaries? • The "Escape Artist" Factor: How are they on a leash, and do they have a history of trying to bolt? The more I know, the happier and safer your pet will be!

Pet care experience

My love for animals is a lifelong passion that started with childhood dreams of being a vet. Throughout high school and university, I was the "go-to" sitter for everyone I knew, making pet care second nature to me. My years as an Early Childhood Educator deepened my patience and attentiveness—qualities I now bring to every pet I visit. I’ve learned to truly tune in to what a pet needs, whether it’s a high-energy "sniff-stroll" for a pup or quiet, gentle company for a shy cat. At the end of the day, I just love being around animals! My goal is to be your pet’s best friend while you’re away, treating them with the same kindness, devotion, and endless belly rubs I give my own.My goal is to provide your fur baby a home away from home. 💛 Fun Fact 🩷 One of my absolute favorite hobbies is walking dogs—it’s truly where I’m my happiest!

Alicia was so lovely to work with and our puppy Ferris loved her! Ferris can be a tough dog to walk and Alicia tackled it with ease. She sent us cute updates and made sure he got lots of playtime and snuggles. We will definitely be using her services again!
