Pet care experience

Attentive. Reliable. Active.

My cat care experience is extensive across time and level of care. Our house growing up was always home to 2 or 3 cats who lived long and happy lives. In the last 12 years away from home, I've been a foster parent to a friend's cat for 3 years while they traveled the country, and done many long-term stays for clients and friends since. Those include several stays of a week, and go all the way up to a 4-month stay with 3 high-needs cats for people I am now lucky to call friends. I've given all manner of oral medication and helped cats with health issues or picky eaters find food they like during our time together, and cared many times for one cat who wore diapers. Cats are genuinely my favorite creatures to care for, and I prioritize these bookings. I look forward to the day when living arrangements allow for me to give space in my home for a cat (or three!) of my own.

Please know that I will not take dogs to dog parks or take them anywhere off-leash, as I am not comfortable with the risk. Your pet's safety is my main concern!

Alicia how’s taken care of our dogs in the past and always does a terrific job. She helped us out with a last-minute overnight trip. Our dog is always happy to see us and she takes very good care of the house. Very grateful for her help.

Alicia took excellent guy of my dog while I was away. I really loved the photo updates she sent. Communication with her was easy and timely. She left my space neat and tidy for when I arrived home. 100% would hire her again!

After the initial meeting, my mind and heart were put at ease knowing my dog and my home were in great hands. Alicia went above and beyond taking care of both and gave me daily updates.

Alicia was great. She was excellent at communicating throughout her stay. She was responsible and took our very active dog for lots of walks. Our dog seemed happy and relaxed when we returned home, which has not always been the case with pet sitters. Our house was clean and neat as well. We will definitely be happy to book again with Alicia.

Schedule

I work full time and have varying start dates throughout the week. For approximate weekday availability schedule, see below. I am accepting one-night and multiple-night bookings. I will do my best to accomodate last-minute requests. M-F: typically gone 8 hrs a day. At this time I can occasionally work from home with enough prior notice, so let's discuss prior to confirming a booking.

Cats
Alicia can host up to 1 drop-in per day
I am the type that likes to know what to expect and believes there is no such thing as too many instructions and care notes for your pet. Let me know when we first meet of any behavioral quirks or triggers, if they have a history of biting, urinating indoors, if they have trouble finishing food, and their favorite toys, etc.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
