Pet care experience
Furry Friend Lover!!
I’m a lifelong animal lover with 7 years of experience caring for dogs, cats, and other furry friends. Whether your pet needs a walk, a cuddle buddy, or overnight care, I’m here to provide a safe, loving, and stress-free environment. I have been a dog foster for multiple rescues and shelters, currently own and show a pup of my own, I also own a senior rescue who I’ve had going on 13 years. I previously worked in general practice vet clinics as well as an ER clinic, I grew up around livestock while showing goats, pigs, and rabbits. I treat every pet like family and always tailor my care to fit their unique personality and needs. From high-energy pups to senior pets who love a gentle routine, I’ve got the patience, skills, and heart to keep them happy and healthy while you're away. Let’s schedule a meet & greet—I’d love to learn more about your pet and how I can help! I do typically work from home but on days where I go work at a local dog kennel I am gone from 7:30am-12:30pm. So a short period of time but I like to be upfront and open about it.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Alicia’s response time is fast and she is dependable. Her communication is clear. I noticed when Alicia was sitting my cats that after their medication administration, she would sit and work on her phone instead of interacting with the cats. When I came home, their water was dirty after I’d asked the water to be refreshed every two days. While I think Alicia is reliable, I would have appreciated more interaction and enrichment for my cats.
Alicia was amazing with Charlie, especially while he was dealing with medical issues during my trip. She kept me updated, monitored him closely, and handled everything with so much care and calm. It gave me real peace of mind knowing he was in such capable hands. I’m incredibly grateful and would absolutely book her again.
Thank you again as always for taking care of our little guys!!
Alicia is so responsive and I feel completely comfortable with her watching my babies!
Alicia is great with Charlie! I can tell he loves seeing her!
Alicia was wonderful with my cat! He’s pretty particular about how he plays, and she made sure to learn his style and make him feel comfortable. She was a respectful house guest, and took excellent care of my cat over the holidays. I’d absolutely hire her again in the future!

I currently have mainly online classes and work from home on my own schedule so I have incredibly open availability, depending on the time of year I can also take same day bookings!

Safety, trust & environment
I just moved and currently don’t have a fenced backyard so lots of walks and tons of playtime! When in your home I do my best to leave your home in the best condition possible! I do my best to leave a report card for all pet parents no matter the service they choose!

A typical day
I am not big on dog parks due to the risk but I will take them on trails, and to other parks where they are often kept on a leash to avoid any potentially negative interactions with other dogs. I will also take them to empty enclosed fields for an off-leash time. I take them to Starbucks and Bahama bucks for a small treat.
