Dog's Country Vacation in the City
Greetings! I’ve been a devoted animal lover and dog owner since childhood. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of raising and training four dogs from puppyhood—two who lived long, happy lives, one beloved girl I lost to cancer at age 10, and now my current companion, Miss Lumen, a two-year-old chocolate lab full of personality and love. I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and needs, including those requiring daily medication or insulin shots (one of my mom’s dogs had diabetes, so I’m very comfortable with injections and schedules). I’m home full time, so your dog will always be supervised. If I ever need to step out briefly—like for a grocery run—each dog has their own room to relax in safely. I also have two pet cameras that allows me to monitor, speak to, and even toss treats to your pup remotely. So I’m always connected and watching over them. I can easily accommodate dogs who need to eat separately or have specific routines. I truly aim to make your pet feel like part of the family while they’re here. Here’s what your dog can expect during their stay: - Constant supervision and individual attention. - HEPA Air filters in every room for cleaner air. - Four fresh water options, including a ceramic fountain. - A zero-plastic home—only ceramic and stainless steel bowls. - Enrichment activities like a sniff mat, puzzle toys, and open crates (if your dog prefers one) - A variety of healthy treats and toys. We do not offer hard bones for teeth health. - A treat-tossing pet camera for real-time monitoring and interaction—even when I’m briefly away. Daily photo updates uploaded to a private Google Drive folder so you can check in anytime. I used to work in the photography field, so I LOVE to post photos of them for you. You can also download these images to keep furrrever! <3 As a fellow pet parent, I understand how much trust goes into choosing the right sitter. Your dog’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities—just like I’d expect for my own sweet Lumen if someone were watching her. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or special requests. I'm also very open to meet & greets to ease any anxieties. I’d love to learn about your pup and make their time here as enjoyable and stress-free as possible!

Ratings and reviews
Alicia was amazing with my dog. She went above and beyond while we were away. Don't hesitate to book with her!
We recently moved to Charlotte and were looking for someone we could really trust with our dog, and we’re so glad we found them! They took such great care of our pups, and we loved getting all the pictures and updates throughout the stay. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing they were happy and well taken care of. We will definitely be using them again!
Alicia and her partner are FANTASTIC! My dog Murphy had the time of his life and we plan to make her our regular sitter from here on out. Cannot recommend her more!
We had to go out of town for a funeral during a snow storm, and Leo loved staying with Alicia! I was worried about him going to an unfamiliar place, but we did a quick meet and greet the night before and he did great. He seemed very comfortable there and she apparently gave him all the love and attention he needed. He wasn't showing any stress at all when we picked him up. Highly recommend Alicia!
Thanks for another great stay, Alicia! Sandy came home happy and tired from all the fun she had!
I couldn't be happier with how my boy Maverick was taken care of with Alicia. I got daily updates, and TONS of pictures. And, when I picked him up, I could tell he had a great time with them. Alicia is definitely at the top of my list for when I need a sitter again, they were great!

Schedule
I'm currently home full-time, so I have lots of time to devote to play time, walks and cuddles. My schedule is flexible to accommodate any time for drop offs and pickups, so feel free to reach out to me if you have any requests or specifications.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have one dog that is very friendly that can keep your pet company. She loves to play but also recognizes when dogs need a break from play. She is very accommodating for her fur friends. We do not live in a neighborhood so there is a lot of outdoor space and a whole back yard to run in!
