Pet care experience
Leaving your beloved fur friend doesn’t have to feel like a punishment. When left in the care of an affectionate, protective and attentive dog momma like myself, leaving can be an ultimate act of love. My name is Alicia and I have cared for and loved animals as long as I can remember. I grew up with pets. Any species you can imagine, I had one! However, my heart has always been with dogs. I have been a rescue foster for two years and it is the most rewarding way to give back. I have a large dog friendly home in a neighborhood with two dog parks, walking trails, and a large field right across the street. So your pup will not be lacking in space to run and play ooorr lounge and snooze. I have one puppy, he is a medium size cockapoo that’s quite shy but a gentle teddy bear and loves to play chase with other pups! I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby! Every dog that stays in my care is immediately assigned a tracking device on their harness/collar for added security. I also provide you with the link to their location and the link to my pet cameras so you can get a peek at your baby while you’re away.
Reviews

Alicia provided exceptional care while boarding our sweet Cockapoo, Latte. She was consistently responsive, professional, and exhibited a genuine affection for our pet. From the very first visit, Alicia made us feel welcomed and reassured, putting our minds at ease. Throughout Latte’s stay, she went above and beyond by sharing daily updates, including detailed reports, photos, and videos, which kept us well-informed of the enjoyable activities he was engaged in. It was evident that Latte thoroughly enjoyed the attention and affection he received from Alicia and her family. We wholeheartedly and without reservation recommend Alicia to anyone seeking high-quality, compassionate care for their fur baby. Sincerely Brian and Tracy Williams

Alicia is a wonderful pet sitter, she’s kind, caring and took excellent care of my Coco. When I met with her for a meet and greet I knew she would be the perfect one. She kept me updated with plenty of photos and messages. I was so relieved that Coco was well cared for while we were away.

Alicia is amazing! Very personable and communicative. She kept me updated throughout the day regarding concerns I mentioned during drop off and made sure my puppy felt loved. We will definitely book again. 10/10 would recommend!
Alicia just started watching my Morkie and she is very great with him, he enjoyed her his first visit. Great care, nice neighborhood and her kids love him already! Good caregiver for a doggie!

I live in a beautiful neighborhood with two dog parks, walking trails, and large fields to run and play. I also have a friendly playful pup that is always down for a game of chase. I can crate your dog if needed.
Home
Information Alicia P. would like to know about your pet
I ask that you be forthcoming about your dogs special needs or quirky behaviors. Is your dog anxious around children, other dogs, men? Does your dog need more space, less pets? Does your dog have a history of biting? I do believe I am the dog whisperer but I can’t manage issues I’m unaware of so the more information you can provide about your dog, the better. Transparency is a must.
A typical day
I am big on sensory stimulation and mental stimulation. I like to start every day with what I call a long “scent walk” which is where we go for a 25 minute walk to sniff and explore. In the afternoon we go to our dog park which is usually empty so there’s plenty of room to play fetch, chase, or work on agility. We also go for car rides to visit some of our favorite stores for treats like Dog Krazy and EM dodgers. Your pup will be in HEAVEN! I also offer bathing and blow drying services for only $25!
