Loving pet sitter seeking oxytocin.
Pet care experience
I have been a pet sitter for 10 years. Anxious dogs and cats love my calming energy. Family and friends appreciate how responsible I am.
Reviews
I can't think of a better person to take care of my companion animals than Alicia! She is so easy to deal with, a great communicator, and a sweat heart of a human being. And more important than what I think, my dogs Biff and Abby think the world of her. Highly recommend!
Alicia has watched over my cat Manchi on so many occasions, both short and long periods of time, both while we were living together and separately. Over holidays, long weekends, etc, Alicia always made sure to care for Manchi as if she were her own. Manchi is a young, indoor, shorthair cat who is very demanding, needy, and social (meows A LOT). Alicia would always set aside ample play time with Manchi, particularly with Manchi's favorite activity, playing fetch with earplugs. I could always tell she was calm and content when I would return -- compared to when she's been left home alone, she's aggressively needy and loud + upset with me for leaving. When I would leave her with Alicia, she was totally happy because she knew it meant lots of play time and treats! Manchi loved her lots, and would often choose to sleep in Alicia's room with her, even if I was home - Alicia was even kind enough to let her sleep on her bed with her :) Alicia would often send photo and video updates of Manchi which was always a great comfort to know she was doing well while I was away. I always returned home to a happy cat, clean litterbox, and full food and water bowls. Couldn't recommend Alicia enough, I would trust her with any pet I know!

Safety, trust & environment
I would appreciate a detailed note with pet needs but understand basic needs as far as feeding, walking, play time, and cleaning. Unfortunately, I can’t offer to pet sit at my home. I can provide references.
Information Alicia M. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know if the dog has been socialized and is nippy. If there are any medications for the pet, I would like detailed instructions on how to administer those.
A typical day
There will be at least three walks per day around the clients neighborhood and lots of play time. I like teaching dogs and cats new tricks to help stimulate the mind and empress others.

Availability
I currently work 9-5, M-F. I am free Friday evenings and anytime Saturday and Sunday. I love the idea of house/pet sitting on the weekends because this is where I am most experienced, but I am open to drop in visits and walks. I am also available during most holidays.
