Vet Student with Lots of Experience

Pet care experience

I have been caring for dogs as well as other animals since elementary school, including dogs who need medications three times per day. I love working with animals and making sure they are happy and healthy which is why I'm pursuing vet school. I am available to feed, walk, play, work on training, and give medications to your dogs and cats. I have worked at the vet school and a local veterinary clinic so I am very familiar with all types of animals and their care needs. Just let me know if there are any special needs for your pets and I can provide it. I am happy to travel anywhere in the Blacksburg/ Christiansburg area for you.

Alicia was very attentive to the needs of my pet and kept me updated on how things were going while I was away.

Let me know what your typical day looks like for your pet and I will do my best to keep up with their normal routine. I know how important it is to minimize stress while you’re away and not changing it up too much for your pet will help!

Information Alicia P. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet needs any special care so I can make sure they get everything they need. It’s helpful to know how much exercise they need on a daily basis and if they aren’t good with other animals.

A typical day

I do not have a typical day as I work at the vet school and will be taking classes throughout the year. Generally I have the most time in the evenings to spend with your pet making sure they get lots of love. I love to go for walks or give belly rubs while hanging out during home stays.
