Pet care experience
Hello! My name is Alicia. I am looking forward to walking your dogs and checking in on them while you're away (also playing with your cats too!!). I own a 20lb Aussie pup named Mirah, she's the best thing in the world. Previously I had a German Shepard/ Shar-Pei mix named Arlo, who has some issues with anxiety, and I worked and trained him and decreased those behaviors immensely. I have worked with different professionals while training Arlo, and have a strong foundation with general dog behavior/training. Mirah has completed several training courses, and is familiar with positive reinforcement training techniques. I will be able to continue whatever kind of training you are working on with your pup during walks or home visits--or spoil the heck out of them, it's up to you!! When it comes to overnights, 2-3 nights is my preference but can do up to 4 nights. Longer visits can be arranged with repeat clients if needed--just message me!

So very kind, always reporting on my kitty kids personlailies!! She spent quality time, with each visit! I would say highly recommended, but I lose my spot with her, I would be sad!!!🤪😁💜
We can't thank Alicia enough for taking such amazing care of Rosie and Tulip while we were were out town!! From start to finish, we felt that everything was in such good hands with Alicia. She was incredibly proactive, communicative and thoughtful both before and during the scheduled booking. Our pups are super sweet but require some specific care, ranging from slow intros to daily meds, and Alicia was more than happy to accommodate. We also appreciated how resourceful and flexible Alicia was when a couple of unexpected situations arose during the booking - first a broken heater at the house, then a slight delay in our return flight. She had such a positive and solution-oriented approach at every step of the way. Thank you, Alicia - we can't wait to work with you again!
As any other yet owner, my dog is my baby and I don't trust him with just anyone!! I had Alicia stay in my house to watch my dog and she was absolutely amazing! She cuddled him and gave him lots of love and sent me lots of pictures of him! On top of that, she was very nice, respectful, and communicative during her stay! I would recommend her services and will definitely use her again!
Alicia was the best! Very communicative and super accommodating, she took amazing care of our cats while we were out of town for the holiday weekend. Will absolutely look to book again in the future!

(also please leave a towel out if we walk in the rain to dry wet fur and paws) -how to return the key to you after the visit -where are cleaning supplies in case there is an accident -emergency vet/ contact information
A typical day
During drop-in's I will be hanging out doing what you need with your pets and around the house (mail, water plants, etc). Typically I will set an alarm when I arrive at the home, and make sure to be spending as much active time with your animal as possible in that time. I will play fetch, rope, practice tricks, pets, etc!

Availability
My availability is fairly open at this time, if you have any single-time or on-going support for your pets I'd love to set something up.
