Responsible pet sitting

Pet care experience

Currently enrolled in college for veterinary health care. I have been pet sitting on and off for years now. My dream is to be a veterinarian one day, as I have always loved animals. I was previously employed at petsmart but now I am at home full time doing some course work online. I am fairly active and would love to go out for plenty of walks and runs. There is a huge field just up the road from my house that is perfect to go with the puppies and throw a ball around. I am very good at teaching tricks and good manners. I can do drop in, overnights and long holidays. My availability is very open and flexible. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting your puppies!! I would have more than enough time for your pets with lot's of walks and tons of cuddles. I'm currently studying from home and I am available 24/7 for boarding and day care. Dogs will never be left alone and I usually book one dog at a time, unless from the same household. I have a fenced backyard, never will I leave a dog unattended though. I can follow a feeding schedule and provide lots of outdoor time.

If I could give 0 stars I would. I had picked Alicia based on our conversation, she was the better fit for our family. She confirmed the days I needed a sitter would work. I had booked well in advance. I confirmed again with her 4 days prior to the drop off day and time as agreed to. There was no indication of any problems arising and she was looking forward to caring for my pets. Come drop off day I reached out to her and there was no answer. I was suppose to drop them off at 5pm cause I was leaving the next morning at 330am. I called multiple times, texted multiple times but she completely ignored my attempts for communication. She then canceled the reservation without speaking to me 2 hours AFTER the drop off time. Leaving me to scramble to find a new sitter on such short notice, if I did not find one I would have had to miss my flight where I paid thousands for and cancel my pre-planned trip! In total I would have been out roughly 10k. The fact that she didnt care about what she was putting me through nor could she reach out and speak to me like a professional, is the most infuriating part of this ordeal. She is careless about her clients and the stress she causes onto them, she's unprofessional and unreliable. I would never recommend anyone to her, my only recommendation for Alicia.R is that anyone and everyone stay FAR AWAR from her.
