Pet care experience
Hello, I'm Alicia! I am an outdoor enthusiast and that directly transfers to the dogs I care for. Walks and runs are a daily activity for me year round: and that is so important for our fur-babies, especially in the winter dreary months. I am a sucker for dog comfort and play My place has 6 dog beds *(including the coach and bed), and too many toys and treat machines to count. in addition to small dogs ... I am comfortable with XXL size dogs- my experience has me strong enough to handle them, but also have enough pack leadership to stay in control. Background: I grew up with rescue dogs, so I dealt with the need for training and care, but also with the need for love and play! I currently have a beautiful German Shepherd who has gone through her rehabilitation and now loves nothing more than belly rubs, peanut butter kongs and her daily run. What your dog will get from me: Exercise: Daily outdoor exercise in the morning and at night, as well as potty breaks.Also willing to take the to the dog park or hiking trails if you agree :) Play: Playtime with dog games and toys. (have lots of mental games, squeaky toys and balls) Care: Dog hair brushes are a'plenty here - due to my GSD. Brushing is lethargic for the dog and myself so light grooming is included! Leadership- I have trained many rescue's and can provide that same leadership and support to your dog. Best Alicia
Reviews
Alicia did an excellent job with our senior Yorkshire Terrier, Bruiser. She gave her valued time to walk and cuddle him to help with his separation anxiety. Bruiser was extremely grateful for the additional treat he got from Alicia.
Alicia was so great for my dog and my nerves! She took stache to adventure and sent me plenty of pictures of him enjoying his time! Alicia was also super flexible and I hope she can watch stache again!
She was so wonderful with Riley made him feel right at home . I was extremely impressed on how she kept me up to date with Riley’s schedule. I would highly recommend and use her over and over . Riley lived his time with her . Thanks for taking duck amazing care of my little big guy !!
We are so thankful for Alicia! She took excellent care of our energetic pup. Alicia is friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. We loved all of the photos & updates she shared with us while we were on vacation. We recommend Alicia without reservation, and plan on booking with her again in the future!

I will take all breeds. Does your dog have medication needs i should plan around? Does your dog have specific outdoor triggers I should be aware of and account for? ex: prey drive, leash aggression, loud noises?
