Alicia can care for
Availability
I work from home online with a very flexible schedule so I can adapt to what you and your fur babies need! If I am housesitting for you, I just need basic reliable internet and then I can stay there full time if you want. The longest meetings that I have without break in between is 3 hours, so your pets will get plenty of care throughout the day!

About Alicia J.
Communication

Safety, trust & environment
My pets have always been and will always be my babies. I don't have human children, so I get to focus all of my attention on my fur babies! I want to do the same for your fur babies too! I'm very flexible schedule-wise both for daily care and for house-sitting! I'm also a (rather slow) runner so if you pup needs some extra exercise I can help out with that too! I trained my dog Asuna to run on a running leash with me (I can only run with dogs up to 70 pounds though).
Information Alicia J. would like to know about your pet
The most important things for me to know are: what special needs does your fur baby have? What are their general requirements (frequent potty breaks, specific ways to give food, etc)? I do also like to know your dog's general energy levels too so I know how to best take care of them while you are away and can plan our exercise together accordingly!
A typical day
This definitely depends on the dogs that I watch and their energy levels/personalities. Some of the senior dogs that I watch happy to mostly snuggle. For younger more active dogs - I love taking them through the neighborhood so they can get all of their sniffs in! Some dogs I will take to a park during off hours as well for a little something exciting. In the warm months, I take the roof off of my jeep and put on a cargo restraint (kind of like a fabric "cage" around the jeep) - dogs LOVE getting to ride to the park in it!

Pet Sitter International Certified!
Pet care experience
I have taken care of pets pretty much my whole life including rats, frogs, fish, bearded dragons, hamsters, snakes, cats and dogs! I recently lost my dog, Asuna, to cancer which is what inspired me to sign up for Rover. Two of my three cats have medical conditions so I have a lot of experience with giving insulin and medicine!
Reviews
I’ve had quite a few pet sitters over the years. Many were superb but they retired or I moved. I would give her the highest rating.
Alicia is the best! I always know my cats will be well taken care of.
Alicia has taken care of my cats a few times. She’s a great communicator, and I don’t worry one bit while I’m away. Alicia’s love of animals is obvious. She cares for my cats and me both. Thank you, Alicia!
Amazing sitter, responsive and took great care of our dogs.
