I'll treat your pet as my own!

Pet care experience

I have experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages and sizes. I have a senior pup and two shy kitties of my own, and I have also taken care of my sisters' dogs (medium-sized husky and jindo), who I have cared for when they are out of town for long trips. I also have cared for my roommate's small dogs (chihuahua mixes, one senior and one puppy) when she has been out for long hours or multiple days.

Alicia has watched my dog for me several times when I go out of town. She is my go-to dog caretaker; I do not believe there is a dog that will not like her. My dog is always excited to go see her. She is very accommodating and pleasant to interact with. When she watches my dog, she treats it like he is her own- which is all you really want! She takes him for long walks, is timely with medications and other needs, and gives him all the pets and cuddles he wants. She has a fenced in backyard, so your pet can still have fun outside without a leash as well! She is someone I would highly recommend if you are in need of a pet sitter or even just a dog walker.

Alicia has cared for two of my furbabies and she’s simply the best! My previous dog was an older dog, who needed gentle walks and needed care in a different way than my current 4 year old energetic dog who LOVES long walks and jogs. She has accommodated them both with love and attention as if they were her own. Milo is thrilled whenever she comes over (partly because he knows it’s treat time :)) but mostly because she’s built so many good memories with him. She’s calm, kind, and caring and I think he’s definitely picked up on her character (he’s really picky about the company he keeps). I highly recommend Alicia!

Alicia is an excellent dog walker and she is the only person I will trust to walk my dogs. Previous dog sitters were not able to keep my 60 pound Husky on the leash or away from other smaller dogs, resulting into my dog running into the street. I have never had this issue with Alicia. She is great at handling my Husky. She always shows up on time and brings my dog back on time. Alicia also thoroughly follow directions. I ask my dog sitters/walkers to crate my dog after her walk, and Alicia always remembers to do this. She even remembered my dog’s birthday and brought her a treat! I highly recommend hiring Alicia.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard and senior pup Roscoe can keep your dog company. We have sidewalks with doggy bags every few feet so our neighborhood is definitely dog-friendly. I can take your dog to nearby parks and my roommate will be able to give your pupper some extra love too. I do have 2 cats but they mostly stay under my bed except to cuddle with me at night. They're scaredy-cats so they will leave your dog alone and stay in my room (their safe space).

Information Alicia K. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know your dogs bathroom schedule, feeding schedule, and any medications they are on. Additionally, please let me know if they need to be crated when left home alone and the frequency of exercise you give them.

A typical day

I like to take my senior dog around lake Crabtree park for a short walk and then a pup cup afterwards! On weekdays, I walk him around the neighborhood, sometimes all the way to the lake nearby. I take it slow with him so he can sniff all the scents and take it all in. I can do the same with your dog or change up the pace and go for runs with your pup to fit into my active lifestyle (currently training for a 5K!).

Availability

I work full time Monday thru Friday 8 hours a day on a flexible schedule. That means I am able to take breaks throughout the workday to check in on or walk your furry family member. I work from home one day a week and get off early on Fridays too. On the weekends, I like to hit up a trail or two. Depending on your animal, it can be long or short!
