Passionate, responsible and fun! :)

Pet care experience

I have had numerous, diverse pets all my life ranging from dogs, cats, reptiles, small mammals, and more. Currently our family has an old rescue greyhound (Cooper), a German Shepherd pup (Calypso), and corn snake (Dora). Apart from helping to take care of the family dogs while growing up and also now taking care of my own, I do have sitting experience as well as overall pet knowledge. During high school and college I regularly pet sat for friends and family; some casual sitting and some specialty sitting. I have experienced sitting puppies, handicapped and elderly dogs alongside the usual. I have experience administering medicine and am physically capable of helping most dogs up if needed due to injury, illness, etc. I also spent 1-2 years working at the Phoenix zoo. I mostly worked directly with farm animals such as goats, cows, and horses, but I also had the pleasure of working with some other uncommon animals such as cow nose sting rays and squirrel monkeys. This work helped me to maintain a love and passion for all animals and also has given me experience with grooming and minor health care maintenance and taught me to always stay on my toes with any animal.

Alicia cared for my desert tortoise and cat for a week, dropping in daily to feed them and make sure they were doing well. She did a great job and even fed the fish we have in aquariums and offered to water my plants. She sent pictures and updates daily. She did a great job and I really appreciate finding someone comfortable caring for my non traditional pet tortoise!

She Always takes good photos of my pets. I have an older puppy who’s nervous and usually has to be carried on walks which is no problem for Alicia she’ll carry one pup walk the other and pick up after both easy peasy. We’re very lucky to have such a great sitter in this area.

Alicia did a fantastic job sitting for our dog Kelsey. We are very pleased with her care for Kelsey and making sure the house was secure during our absence. She is very trustworthy and I would highly recommend Alicia as a dog sitter.

Alicia did a great job taking care of Ollie. She sent photos, kept me updated and was available for contact if necessary. I will definitely use her again!

Information Alicia S. would like to know about your pet

I always complete a meet and greet with clients before a stay to ensure everyone is comfortable and fit well. The most important thing for me to know beforehand is if a pet is aggressive with other pets or people.

A typical day

I love taking pets for walks, short hikes, car rides, fetch, whatever they need! I am also perfectly happy relaxing on the couch with pets that prefer a slower pace.
