Pet care experience

Your pets favorite visitor!

I’ve grown up around animals my entire life and have experience caring for pets of all kinds. I currently help care for my mom’s dog, who is now a 17-year-old senior, so I’m very comfortable with older pets and their specific needs. I’ve also helped raise a puppy in our family home not too long ago, giving me hands-on experience with younger, high-energy dogs as well. Over the years, I’ve had ferrets, multiple cats, birds, and bunnies, and I truly believe that this variety has helped shape me into a well-rounded and attentive pet caregiver. Right now, I regularly take care of my family’s pets whenever my mom is traveling or busy. In addition, I’ve cared for pets for friends and other family members through both drop-in visits and overnight stays. I’m patient, reliable, and genuinely love animals, which makes it easy for me to connect with them and understand their needs. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for while you’re away. You can feel confident knowing your pets are in trustworthy, loving hands. 🐾

House Sitting • Apr 21, 2026

Alicia was so kind and caring for my elderly pet. She went above and beyond to ensure he was comfortable, gave him a bath, hand fed him breakfast and dinner, and cared for him as I would (which included doing laundry after accidents that happen at his age). She is sweet and keeps in touch, sending lots of pictures and updates. I felt my pet was in good hands for my entire trip, I couldn't be more thankful to come home to a happy calm little doggo. She is the best :)

Dog Walking • Apr 15, 2026

I had a great experience! She took wonderful care of my dog and kept me updated, which gave me so much peace of mind. My dog was happy and well cared for, and I could tell she truly loves what she does. I would definitely recommend her and will be booking again!

Alicia has been taking care of my little Shih Tzu for years! She is incredibly caring with animals and treats every pet like her own. She pays close attention to routines, personalities, and little details that make pets feel safe and happy. She's reliable, communicative, and genuinely loves what she does. Anyone would be lucky to have her as their pet sitter.

I have used Alicia to watch my dog Burt and she is very reliable and trustworthy. I’ve had to go out of town last minute for work, and Alicia has been able to stay with my dog with no issue. My dog is always excited to see her.

Alicia is the best! She is such a kind, caring, and nurturing person. She’s watched my dog Colby many times and he always has such a great time. I always feel relieved when I leave town knowing he’s in good hands!

Alicia is a phenomenal care taker. She’s always on time and attentive to small details. Going to her feels like I’m getting more out of it because she really does go the extra mile and makes sure everything goes smoothly. I really appreciate being able to leave my pets in the hands of someone who cares for my animals. She’s watched my dog a couple of times over the last year and I will continue to go to her !

Schedule

I’m 23 and currently in college, so I’m looking for something that fits well with my schedule and allows me to do something I genuinely enjoy, like caring for animals. I have classes 2 times a week. On Mondays, I’m unavailable until 2pm and on Wednesdays from 9:00 AM to 8 PM. Wednesdays are my busiest days with classes throughout the day, so I may have more limited availability depending on the type of service needed. Outside of those times, my schedule is very flexible, and I’m happy to work with you to find something that fits both your needs and mine. I’m committed to being reliable, communicative, and making sure your pets receive consistent care and attention.

Safety, trust & environment

I’m very attentive, patient, and playful with animals, and I always prioritize their safety and comfort. I make sure to follow each pet’s routine closely and respect any specific instructions provided by the owner, including feeding schedules, medications, and activity preferences. I’m happy to take dogs on walks, including nature trails, as long as I have the pet parent’s permission. Your pet’s safety always comes first, and I stay aware of their behavior and surroundings at all times. When caring for pets in your home, I am clean, respectful, and treat your space as if it were my own. I aim to create a calm, safe, and loving environment so both you and your pet feel comfortable and at ease while you’re away

A typical day

A typical day with me depends on your pet’s energy level and routine. For more active pets, I love staying engaged so whether that’s playing, going on walks, or just keeping them entertained throughout the day. I’m happy to do multiple walks and provide plenty of activity to keep them happy and stimulated. For drop-in visits, I always make the most of our time together by giving your pet lots of attention, care, and interaction, not just the basics. Whether your pet is energetic or more laid back, I adjust to their needs to make sure they feel comfortable and cared for. With permission, I’m also open to taking pets on nature walks for a change of scenery and extra enrichment.

Please let me know if your pet has any disabilities, special needs, or requires extra care. Your pet’s safety and well being are always my top priority, so if there’s ever something I don’t feel fully comfortable or confident handling, I will be honest and communicate that with you. That being said, I’m always open to learning and adapting, as long as it’s something I can safely take on and feel confident providing the best care possible. I truly want to make sure your pet is in the right hands and receiving the attention they deserve
