Beach Walks & Loving Pet Care
Hi! I’m Alicia, a lifelong animal lover who genuinely enjoys spending time with dogs and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for while their owners are away. I’m a very active person and love getting outside, so your dog will get plenty of attention, exercise, and engagement during walks and visits. Whether your pup loves long walks, playtime, or just relaxing company, I’m happy to match their energy and routine. I’m attentive to each pet’s unique personality and needs. I’m comfortable caring for energetic dogs, shy pets who need patience, puppies who are still learning routines, and senior dogs who may need a gentler pace and extra care. Communication is very important to me, so you can expect regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make sure both you and your pet feel completely comfortable and at ease. I treat every pet like they’re my own and would love the chance to meet your furry family member!

Schedule
Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine because I’m already an active person who enjoys getting outside for walks and spending time with animals. I go on walks every day and genuinely enjoy incorporating dogs into that routine, whether that means neighborhood walks, playtime, or check-ins throughout the day. My schedule is flexible, which allows me to give pets plenty of attention and care. I make sure each pet gets the time, exercise, and affection they need so they feel comfortable and happy while their owner is away. Because I build pet care into my routine, I’m able to stay consistent with walks, feeding schedules, playtime, and any special instructions owners provide. I treat every pet like they’re part of my own routine so they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for.

Safety, trust & environment
Safety and trust are my top priorities when caring for pets. I always take time to learn each pet’s routine, personality, and any special instructions so I can keep their environment as consistent and comfortable as possible. In a client’s home, I’m very respectful of both the pet and the space. I follow feeding schedules, walking routines, and any care instructions carefully. I also make sure pets have plenty of attention, exercise, and companionship while their owners are away. I keep doors secured, stay aware of surroundings during walks, and prioritize each pet’s safety at all times. If caring for pets in my home, I make sure the environment is calm, clean, and pet-friendly so they feel safe and relaxed. I supervise pets closely and ensure they have a comfortable space to rest, play, and settle in. I also believe communication builds trust, so I send regular updates and photos so owners can feel confident that their pets are happy and well cared for.

A typical day
I love making sure every pet feels happy, comfortable, and engaged while their owner is away! I’m very active, so I enjoy taking dogs on walks around the neighborhood or to nearby parks for fresh air and exercise. I also like to tailor activities to each pet’s personality — whether that’s playing fetch, gentle stretching and mobility work (great for older dogs!), or just giving lots of attention and cuddles. For more relaxed pets, I’m happy to keep things calm with short walks, enrichment toys, and a consistent routine so they feel safe and at home.

- I always like to learn as much as I can about each pet ahead of time so I can give them the best care possible. It’s helpful to know their daily routine, energy level, and temperament, as well as how they do with other dogs, new environments, and being left alone. I also like to know about any medical needs, triggers, or behaviors like barking, anxiety, or pulling on leash so I can be fully prepared. I tend to be the best fit for dogs who are comfortable in a home environment and can settle well, especially since I prioritize a calm, safe, and positive experience for every pet.
