Play Joy Snuggle Rest & Repeat

My home base is Salt Lake where I accept boarding, drop-off, and drop-ins. I recently traveled to Santa Fe for pet sitting for 2.5 months. I love opportunities to travel to different places. When I do I am looking for hosts who are comfortable with me bringing my pup Deputy to their home. The real LOVE of my life! “Deputy” a 4-year-old Bernedoddle She is well-trained and a real sweetheart. She loves other animals and is very adaptable to situations. I am a big lover of all animals. Your pets will receive excellent care. I love to cuddle, play outdoors and welcome fussy pets. I work remotely as a Program Director for Trigena Halley at Peak Performance CCT: I wear many hats within her organization. I concurrently run another consulting and educational business part-time in SLC, Utah for the last 7 years WOMBSPACES. I previously co-owned Vitalize Community and Healing Arts Studio: (Sold Dec 2021). That's a small snippet of my life in shorthand. I am happy to have a video call or meet and greet to get better acquainted.

Alicia is great! She provides updates throughout the stay, is very communicative, and I can tell me dogs have a great time staying with her. Would definitely recommend folks for dog sitting :)

Such a wonderful human. Alicia was fantastic! She provided constant communication throughout the stay, with pictures, videos, and texts. She loved on the dogs as if they were her own. Alicia went above and beyond tending to one of the dogs that had recently undergone cruciate ligament surgery, managing her activity, and making sure she was comfortable. Highly recommended!

Alicia was excellent with our pup George! He loved her beautiful home, yard and playing with friends. We loved that she was calm, attentive and communicative. Sent updates/photos throughout the weekend and coordinating drop off/pick up was super easy. We think we've found George's home away from home and couldn't be happier!

Loved Alicia. Gave us so many pictures while we were gone from our boy. She for sure spoiled him in the best way. He was tired when we got him back which meant he stayed active! Alicia was great with the whole process. I loved her calm and reassuring demeanor. Our dog is a big boy and she could handle him!

Safety, trust & environment

I can follow your schedule without it interrupting my daily flow. I take my Deputy out twice a day and hike often or to the dog park as she likes me to hurl the ball as far as I can. My experience has been I am comfortable walking three dogs on a leash. There will be times when I follow your pet's schedule then take Deputy separately on a walk or to the park. I am pretty flexible. I give a lot of attention to pets and welcome snuggle time. I am very organized (OCD clean type of personality). I am respectful of your house rules and would honor your request.

Pets

A typical day

We love going to all the Dog Park's to "chuck it!" and spin the frisbee. I am very active if your active dog needs ample amounts of exercise. I mostly love to go on hikes as much as possible for 1 hour to 1.5 but can work you with pets needs if they prefer neighborhood walks. If I am boarding I have a pet-friendly home with a backyard and a park around the corner.
