Information Alicia M. would like to know about your pet

How often do they need their potty breaks, any allergies and if they are house trained. I can offer my own treats or use your specific brands.

A typical day

I have a beach trail and local hiking spots near by. For older or mellow dogs, I love to give them a warm blanket or cozy space to hang out with me.

Pet lover, hiker, beach bud!

Pet care experience

I am a born and raised animal lover with decades of experience. I have grown up with both small and large dogs such as akitas, terriers, labs and pit-bulls. I have a soft spot for lap dogs and I also raised two 19 year old cats. Love to play catch and chase with puls. I am very active, friendly and can warm up to any new fur babt. If you have a calmer dog, I will create a nice space for them to feel safe and relaxed. For those with more energy, I will commit to taking them on a long run, whatever it takes! Familiar with birds, dogs, cats and reptiles.

She continues to take excellent care of my fur babes and also manages/wrangles them to get some hilarious pics!
