Your Dog’s Cozy Home Away From Home

Hi, I’m Alicia! My husband, Stephen, and I know how hard it can be to leave your dog behind, so our goal is to give you complete peace of mind while your pup is in our care. We’re a dog-loving couple sharing our home with our spoiled senior Yorkie, Gracie, and we treat every dog like part of the family. Gracie is 13 years old and has been with us since she was a year old. When we adopted her, she struggled with anxiety and needed extra patience, consistency, and love to feel safe and confident. Watching her grow into the happy, affectionate little dog she is today taught us how important trust, routine, and individualized care are for every pup. Whether your dog loves playtime, couch cuddles, slow walks, or just a calm and cozy environment, we’re committed to making them feel comfortable, safe, and cared for while you’re away.

Bailey loved visiting Alicia and her husband. She got lots of cuddles which is her fave. We were kept up to date on how she was doing so we could just relax and enjoy our family time!

Alicia is the best choice when it comes to your furry kids needs. She goes the extra mile and always makes sure your little pups are taken care of with lots of love. We trust her without a doubt and wouldnt choose anyone else to leave our furry guys with!

Alicia is an outgoing, fun loving, sweet, reliable, dependent person. She is the best option for your fur baby's needs! I always trust her fully with our pups and never have doubted that with Alicia they are being loved and cared for as one and beyond!

Alicia has proven herself over the years to be a dependable, caring, kind, and thoughtful dog sitter. She has cared for my pets in my home for weeks at a time while I have been on vacation as well as walked them on days when I have been unable to. She shows the same warmth and hospitality to my dogs as she does to those in her life. I have gotten know Alicia enough over the years to call her a friend and would recommend her services to others without hesitation.

Alicia is great with our dog Sam! She always gives him lots of love when she comes over. She’s given him treats and toys and he responds well to her.
