The Anxious Dog Whisperer

I started pet-sitting through Rover in 2020 and have cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, fish, turtles, chickens, and even a few reptiles. I have a dog and a rabbit of my own who are completely spoiled, and several regular clients whose pets I consider to be my part-time pets. I have experience with giving medications (oral and injectable) but do ask that you show me how your pet is used to taking these medications so we can keep it consistent. I am experienced in working with pets with special needs. Let's talk about it! **Please note: I take pride in going above and beyond for all of my clients, but I do politely request that you only send a request once you're sure you are committed to hiring a sitter. If we do a meet and greet and we aren't a great fit, that's absolutely fine! If your plans change, I understand. But please be just as respectful of my time as I will be of yours. I will not reserve my schedule for potential bookings for new clients until the visit has been booked and paid, but may consider holding potential bookings for repeat clients at my discretion.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

In your home, I let your pet take the lead and show me how they're comfortable interacting. For some this means lots of belly rubs and playtime, and for some pets it means just making sure they stay safe while they do their own thing. I'm happy to accommodate any end of the spectrum! I treat your home and your pet just like it was my own. This includes caring for any pet messes that may occur, so if you can also let me know where any preferred cleaning products are in case of incidents, that would be helpful!

Alicia is aways great with our cats. She keeps a regular schedule and the cats like her, even the introvert.

I want to thank Alicia and Rover. What an amazing service. Alicia was extremely caring and both Tommy and Floyd (the shy one) immediately were taken by her and her caring nature. Our daily snapshots showed just how caring and compassionate Alicia was with them. Even our last day, when thanking her for all she did, Tommy was showing his love and appreciation to her. Truly a wonderful experience. Thank you Alicia again so very much and Rover too. Many warm regards

Thank you Alicia for taking such wonderful care of our Hendrix. The peace of mind you gave was worth more than any money paid. You’re awesome!

Schedule

I work full time and am unable to accommodate drop-ins during the middle of the day during the week, however, I would be happy to discuss this on a case-by-case basis. When booking, it helps me if you also include what time of day you need. Monday through Friday I am unable to care for pets who cannot go for at least 4 hours without being let out.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Alicia can host up to 1 drop-in per day
Please tell me about their temperament with strangers, their favorite treats, and if they are prone to trying to make an escape! These help me keep your pet safe. I also need to know if your dog has ever been aggressive toward other pets. I don't have any breed preferences, but I don't feel comfortable walking large dogs unless they are well trained on a leash. This is for my safety as well as your pet's safety.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
