Senior dogs are my specialty!!

Pet care experience

IMPORTANT TO READ BEFORE BOOKING: Please limit your drop-off/pick-up times to no more than a 30 minute window and let me know immediately if those times need to change (and make sure to modify your booking to reflect those changes). This is the only way I can be sure your request will work with my schedule. No pickups or drop-offs before 8AM or after 7PM without prior approval. PLEASE BE RESPECTFUL OF MY TIME AND MESSAGE ME IF YOU ARE GOING TO BE LATE!!!! I’ve had dogs my entire life, from pit bulls to chihuahuas (and everything in between!). I have a lot of experience with senior dogs (they are my absolute favorite) and special needs dogs (I personally adopted a senior dog who could not walk and I’ve sat for senior dogs with health issues such as seizures and diabetes, wearing diapers or needing oral or injection medication). I wish I could adopt all the dogs and dog sitting keeps me from doing that!

Alicia took a good care of my pup while we were away. She provided pictures and updates daily. I was happy he had a company of other dogs to play with

Alicia did a great job taking care of our pups and keeping our mail and packages safe, and we look forward to working with her again!

Alicia took such great care of our dog! It was our first time using Rover and she made our experience wonderful. She truly bonded with our dog and sent pictures and texts daily. I highly recommend Alicia!

This was my first time using Rover, and my first time boarding my 2 dogs. Alicia was phenomenal. I received daily updates and pictures. My dogs seemed happy, and even ran back to her to say goodbye once I picked them up. I would highly recommend Alicia, and would board my dogs here again.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a huge, fenced yard and one pup of my own to keep yours company (but we don’t leave the dogs outside unsupervised). We have doggy gates in the house, including on the stairs, so the dogs are always safe. We try to keep your pet comfortable by making their time here as close to home as possible. We only crate here if you crate at home - otherwise we have gates to keep dogs from different homes separated at all times when not directly supervised. We also have cameras in all rooms where the dogs would be left alone so we can check in on them while we are out. Sleeping is the same story - if they sleep in your room, they can sleep in our room (even on our bed if they prefer); if they sleep in a crate at home, we can crate them here. Boarding is stressful on you and your pet and we want to make it as easy as possible. IMPORTANT - PLEASE READ ALL OF THE FOLLOWING INFO! I will not care for dogs in my home without first doing a meet and greet. It’s important to make sure your dog will feel secure in my home and that my dogs and family will be safe. If your pick-up or drop-off times change, please notify me immediately. I reserve the right to charge additional fees if you drop-off or pick-up late or early. I have many clients as well as my job, family and own dogs and need to be able to plan accordingly. You will also need to either enter detailed care/routine information into your Rover profile (including your vet info and an emergency contact) OR provide me written instructions on how to care for your dog. This allows me to keep to your dog’s routine as closely as possible.

Information Alicia P. would like to know about your pet

When and what/how much does your dog eat? Are they allowed on furniture? Where do they sleep? Do they like walks? Are they crated? What kinds of treats? How many? Human food? Anything else? Please let me know of any special needs or routines or anything I can do to help make your pup more comfortable while they are with me.

A typical day

We love to go for walks around the neighborhood. We have lots of toys and puzzles to keep the pups entertained and we also have pet stairs if they need help getting up on the couch for evening cuddles.
