Safety, trust & environment

I have had dogs in my home before and am comfortable with any kind of care they need. I can put them in a crate or leave them out of a crate for overnights. I will also take them for walks around the neighborhood or let them run around in the yard. I am happy to play fetch or throw toys for them. I will make sure they get food, water, and medicine at their regularly scheduled times.

Information Alicia J. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know their regularly scheduled mealtime as well as when they usually wake up in the morning or go to sleep at night. If they are good around other dogs/cats. What they are sensitive about. What they like to do for fun. What habits they have. Just everything you need to know about a human…I would like to know about your pet.

A typical day

I enjoy taking dogs to the dog park if they interact well with other dogs. I will also take them to a forest preserve for a long walk along the trails.

Pet care experience

I had a rescue dog and took care of him for several years. I also took care of my mom’s senior dog who had vision and bladder control issues. I have dog and cat sit for friends with many different breeds and sizes. I grew up with two cats in my household and am comfortable caring for them. I enjoy being around cats just as much as dogs. :) I make sure to carry out the instructions owners leave for me and am meticulous about keeping their place and pet as clean as possible. I love to play with and take pets for long walks or to the park.

While my cat is normally resilient on her own, I knew with a few extra days away this year that she really needed a friend to come check up on her. Alicia was the perfect person for the job! Incredibly flexible around coordinating a meet and greet, so compassionate, and follows instructions to a T! I could not have asked for a better first experience with Rover. Thank you Alicia!!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
