Safety, trust & environment

I can easily isolate my resident cat if needed and your cat can stay separate. My cat has had positive interactions with cats and dogs in the past if you would like me to properly introduce them. Otherwise, I am happy to coordinate care out of your own home.

Information Alicia R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there are any dietary or behavioral restrictions, allergies, medications, and any sensitivities. I love all breeds and will be happy to accommodate!

A typical day

I love to play with animals, providing basic training, play time with toys, outdoor exercise (if applicable), and lots of love and attention! For the kitties, I can bring a variety of toys with me. And for the dogs, I would love to play fetch, take your dog for walks on a trail, or just relax inside.

Pet care experience

Hi! My name is Alicia and I am a toxicologist from North Carolina originally. I fostered pups and kitties for over a year (all shapes and sizes) and have one foster fail, my sweet tuxedo cat Figgy. I have experience in dog training, and have loved becoming a cat person as well. Growing up, I went to training classes in basic obedience and agility with my family’s dog. I work from home in Rockville and would be happy to work with you to figure out a schedule that works best for us. I know how near and dear to your hearts your animal is, so I want you to always trust that they will be in good hands. In my free time, I love to travel, cook, craft, read, and watch tv with Figgy.

Alicia responded quickly to inquiries and provided an update on how our dog reacted when she arrived at the house. Our dog was quickly comfortable with her, and we look forward to future walks!

Great communication and punctuality. My dog literally was jumping up and down after his first walk- so happy!
