Information Alicia P. would like to know about your pet

No special information! I love all dogs and am pretty laid back and accommodating. It's great if you can let me know how frequent you'd like updates while you're away!

A typical day

Walks around Kingman Island or the neighborhood parks. If your dog is comfortable off-leash (within a fenced area), I also love walks at Congressional Cemetery!

Long-time dog owner

Pet care experience

I started watching dogs through Rover while completing a graduate program, and then continued so my senior lab/shar-pei mix had some dog company from time to time! I now have a new sweet and friendly 8 month old puppy who loves to share the apartment with other dogs. I love walking at Lincoln Park, Congressional Cemetary and Kingman Island, a great nature preserve in the middle of the Anacostia River. I know it can be stressful leaving your pet while you're away, but I promise to treat yours like my own. I'm comfortable administering medicine and working with anxious pets. I've had great experiences using Rover when I've left town, and I know I can provide the same reliable service and peace of mind that I have received from my own dog sitters.

Lottie enjoyed her time with Alicia and Hazel! She arrived tired, since we’ve been on the road, but each afternoon, when we picked her up, Lottie was ready to go again! I knew it was a great fit when I walked Lottie to Alicia’s the 2nd day- she bounded up the steps with tail wagging!

I can always trust Alicia to take good care of Winnie! Alicia always provides updates, and Winnie definitely has a great time.

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.
