The Best Substitute Best Friend! 🐾

Hi! I’m Alicia. I’m a second grade teacher and lifelong Fort Wayne resident. I’ve had pets my entire life, but currently have none of my own, so I’m looking forward to babying yours this summer! I know how stressful it can be to leave your pets behind, so I’m grateful for the opportunity to offer them a quiet, kid-free, pet-free, low-stress environment to settle into while you’re away. I’m extremely reliable, caring, and patient. Whether your pet needs medication, a consistent routine, or extra time to warm up to someone, I’m happy to adjust to whatever works best for them (and for you). Whether I’m with them for a drop-in or overnight stay, I’ll make sure your pets feel safe, loved, and well cared for. Plus, I love to take pictures and document our adventures, so you can expect regular updates and plenty of photos while you’re away. Feel free to reach out to set up a time to chat or schedule a meet and greet!

Doggy Day Care • Jun 23, 2026

Alicia is AMAZING! She was wonderful at communicating throughout the day and sent the BEST pictures! She was willing to deal with the craziness that comes with a young puppy, and Fig came home content and sleepy! We are so lucky to have found her!

Alicia was wonderful to work with. Gita absolutely loved her and Brad, and staying in their home for 10 days without ever feeling lonely gave me tremendous peace of mind. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

Theo loves going to Alicia’s house so much that I’m not even sure he notices that I’m gone! I feel 100% safe leaving him there, and I know he gets all the play & snuggles he wants!

Theo loved staying with Alicia. She sent lots of pictures of him playing & going on walks, and was great at keeping in touch to let me know my pupper was having a good time! I will definitely use her again! 🐶💙

Alicia was awesome! She was so kind and easy to plan with. She loved Scottie so well and sent the sweetest updates! Will absolutely be trusting her again to watch our fur baby!

Schedule

As a teacher, my summers are especially flexible for drop-ins, daycare, and overnight stays. When school starts (August-May), I’m limited to before and after school drop-ins, but always open to schedule overnight stays at your house or mine especially on weekends or holidays!
