Walking shoes + lots of love

Pet care experience

I just love dogs! I find that they help keep me focused and comfortable and vice versa. I love meeting new dogs and their owners, so being able to make friends with dogs is my dream job! I am an artist and I love just sitting and spending time with people and their dogs! I have one nine-year-old dog named Sapphire. She’s a boxer mix and loves making new friends, so we love bringing new friends into the house for her to meet! I do have professional experience working with dogs. I have volunteered at both my local animal hospital and at the Humane Society of Tampa Bay. I learned a great deal working for these institutions and have really enjoyed my time there. I’ve also helped sit and walk for family and friends, which is what inspired me to become a professional sitter. I just love taking care of pups! I am very flexible with my schedule and will always do what is best for you and your fur baby! That makes me a great fit for pups that are used to having someone around them during the day. Although I will be the primary caretaker, my parents can help with some responsibilities if need be. When I am not home, one or both of my parents will be here to watch over any four legged guests I have. They love dogs as well and it’s always nice to have a helping hand! I have a large home with about an acre of yard for the puppies to play in. There is no fence but I do have long leashes so they can run around as they please. It’s perfect for stretching the legs or just finding a patch in the sun for a nap! My neighborhood is great for walking and also has some nature trails in it, so we’ll have plenty of opportunities to explore.

Alicia was great to work with! - I had never used a service like this before so I was not sure what to expect however she made it very easy, was very friendly, and communicated with me on every visit. She took amazing care of my dog and I plan to use her again. You can tell Alicia truly cares about dogs, you get the service you pay for. Book with confidence. A+

Alicia was very professional and the pups loved her. She communicated when she arrived and sent photos of the pups in there walk. They were happy to have a few moments to get out and about.

Information Alicia V. would like to know about your pet

Some things I like to learn ahead of time: Would you like to schedule a meet-and-greet before the stay? What’s your preferred method of communication? Does your pup have any health issues that need to be tended to? For instance, dietary restrictions, medicine, or behavior triggers? Does your pup like to stick to a given schedule, like regular walks in the morning and evening? What does your pup do well around? What does your pup try to avoid? What’s the best way to spoil your pup?

A typical day

I know how important getting plenty of exercise is, so we’ll make sure to get out and about all the time. I’m athletic myself so I can keep up with even the fastest pups! My neighborhood is great for exploring, and there are some great nature trails nearby that are perfect to explore. I love seeing pups out in nature, so we will definitely head outdoors if you’re okay with it. I’m just happy to meet pooches at their energy level, no matter where it is! I’m happy if your pup needs tons of exercise or just wants to cuddle all the time.
