Special Care for Your Special Baby

Pet care experience

Traveling to Charleston for the weekend and can't find pet-friendly accommodations? Don't leave your baby back home -- keep him close by -- and not in a kennel where he can be overwhelmed by the other dogs and just won't get the attention he needs! Keep your baby close to you! After being the caretaker for a small, special needs pup for nine years, I understand how hard traveling can be when you have such a precious life in your hands! Let me put you at ease! All I want to do is make your precious pup comfortable and happy while you're out visiting the beautiful Holy City. My home is right here on Charleston's peninsula, so you can visit anytime – or I can bring your pup to you so he can join your adventures for an hour or so and explore the Battery or one of the parks with you! I will give your dog all the attention she wants/needs and will build my weekend around her! Whether she likes going on car rides, walking at the park, visiting the beach, sniffing around in my (private, fenced in) yard or just lounging around – we’ll do whatever she wants! I have experience grooming long-haired dogs and am sensitive to the special needs that senior dogs have when it comes to treatment and handling. Administering meds and cleaning up messes is no problem -- I'm used to it! The house does have two indoor/outdoor cats who are very accustomed to being around small dogs. They generally just ignore dogs, but may come sniff around just to say hello. Please note that -- although I generally accept dogs Friday afternoons through Sunday nights only -- I may be able to accommodate lengthier stays, so don't hesitate to ask!

Alicia was an absolutely amazing sitter for my dog Charlie! She was so great at keeping me updated with pictures and I just felt so at ease with Charlie in her care. She truly loved him like her own! My pup tends to have high anxiety but she was so tender and nurturing with him and I’m pretty sure he didn’t even notice I was gone. Haha! I HIGHLY recommend Alicia and will be using her exclusively for all my future dog sitting needs!

I highly recommend Alicia for pet sitting services. I have known her for five years and I think she is a fabulous person. She is very reliable and trustworthy person. She demonstrates enormous love and compassion for all animals. She will absolutely ensure your fur-baby has the best experience. Alicia has proven to me that she genuinely gets the greatest joy from caring for an animal and she will treat your fur-baby like her own.

Information Alicia L. would like to know about your pet

I prefer to care for small dogs (under 15 pounds) who are hypoallergenic. I'll need to know any medicines they take (and how often), any health issues, their eating schedule, and whether or not they are potty/puppy-pad trained. Please let me know what kinds of activities your dog enjoys, as well as anything else you think I should know.

A typical day

Walks to the nearby Hampton Park are a great activity in the neighborhood. I can also take your pup to the beach, and will definitely include him/her on all my weekend activities, whether that's lounging in bed all day or visiting the farmer's market! You'll get plenty of pics and updates texted to you throughout the day.
