Pet care experience

Looking to pet every pup possible!

When a dog nudges my hand to say "hey keep up with the pets" is when I'm my most happy. I've had 2 dogs in my family, one medium sized and one small. Both equally cute. I’ve spent many hours volunteering at animal shelters, walking various breeds of dogs with their own unique charms and quirks. I've cared for bigger dogs, including long walks and runs to satisfy their needs. I've spent nights dog sitting for a highly pampered senior dog, going through his routine exactly as instructed. My own dog had anxiety, and I know all the tricks that got him to feel calm again. He also required diapers, so I have experience putting those on too. Puppies are also no problem, and I can work on their training with them while also making sure they get out their boundless energy. I love exercise and parks, or a good neighborhood walk. A good old belly rub is also great too. Every dog deserves a whole lot of love, and I am glad to give it to them.

Safety, trust & environment

I always make sure to get the full rundown of the pet’s daily routine and habits. Any odd quirks or characteristics should be shared so I can care for your pets just the way you would! For house sitting, I try my best to leave the house exactly how I found it! I'm also happy to pick up mail, water plants, and do any other routine household chores.

Thank you to Alicia for taking great care of our cats and backyard chickens while we were out of town! I knew they were in great hands and I really appreciated the updates and photos. You even won the trust of our shy cat, something that takes most people a while. Thank you again for all of your effort and care for our crew!

Alicia took great care of Nixon! She sent lots of pictures and had very detailed updates for every visit. Nixon seemed like he really liked Alicia! She was very communicative throughout the process. It was very easy. Thank you so much!!!

Alicia took great care of my cats when I was out of town! She was punctual, respectful, and communicated well from the moment I sent the booking request. I came home to happy cats, highly recommended!

Schedule

I’m currently taking a sabbatical from work, so I have most days free and can do drop ins/walks at any time of the day! For house sitting, I'll typically be at the house, but I sometimes have other errands or commitments to attend to. I can do potty breaks at least every 4 hours. If your pet requires more frequent care, that can be arranged, but it will trigger my constant care rates. Constant Care: For potty breaks every 1-3 hours, it's an extra $11/day. For day sits requiring me to be at the house at all times, it's $11/hour.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
Alicia can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
What toy is their favorite? Are there any special treats they love when they're being a super good boy/girl? Do they have a favorite area to walk around and explore? Let me know about what your dog loves! I’m quite tiny at 5ft, but I’ve managed 70 lb labs just fine. However, muscular dogs who pull might send me flying! 70 lbs is about the max weight I feel comfortable looking after/walking.
