This is the second time Alicia watched our boys for us. They are old English sheepdogs so they are big and can be a lot. But she treated them like royalty, and was cool with all of the things we asked her to do for the boys. We will continue to book with her. Highly recommend for anyone needing and pet sitting services.

We were so hesitant to use a dog sitter because our dog is so spoiled and we were afraid someone else would not understand this. But ! that was until we found Alicia. She sent pictures and updates while we were away and treated Nash like he was her dog. We will definitely continue to use Alicia .

Very easy to work with. My animals seemed fine with her with them. I feel comfortable leaving my animals with her.

We had a wonderful experience with Alicia. She took care of our Lola, a senior dog with much love. We received frequent updates while away. Certainly recommend.

Alicia was amazing, she took care of our sheepdogs for 5 days. She did everything we asked her to do plus more. She consistently sent updates and pictures. She was very professional and kept the boys happy and safe. Highly recommend so anyone who needs a sitter.

Alicia was terrific. I have two large dogs, both over 100 pounds, and she house sat and was great with them. I was gone for 3 weeks, and I had only left them one time before and that was for only three days, so I was also very nervous about leaving them. Alicia sent me many photos, but also informed me continually about what the dogs were doing. So I was not worried and could enjoy my time away. I would definitely use Alicia again. She was superb.

Schedule

I’m currently working part time so I will have plenty of time to play with and care for your pets. I am available for boarding every night. I do not mind traveling outside of my service area, over 30 miles, for in home sitting but I would need to add $20 extra to the price to recoup some of my gas money.

Where your pet will stay

Home characteristics

Lives in an apartment
Has an unfenced yard
Non-smoking household
Has 1 dog
No children present
Dogs not allowed on bed

Safety, trust & environment

I will care for your pets and meet their special needs. I will take them for potty breaks every 2 hours while boarding overnight and however many times requested while stopping by for some outside time. I will also send fun pics to you so you know they are loved while you are away. **Please ensure you bring along any food for your pet, as I do not provide this due to individual diets. Also anything else that would bring extra comfort to them etc, blankets, crates (although I have a large crate if needed), bedding, toys, treats as well as any medications or probiotics/vitamins they are taking.

Pets

A typical day

Hello, I would love to stimulate your dogs physically and mentally. Will play a bunch of games, check out all the new smells in the neighborhood , and explore a big park near my house. I do live in an apartment complex so there may be short encounters with other dogs. Typically where I potty them, there are not others there, but on walks around the complex they could have short encounters. I also live on a third floor which involves about 36 steps. If your dog has issues with stairs, it may not be a good fit, unless your dog is small enough (under 10 pounds) to carry. I have also been utilizing my mother’s condo for boarding dogs with mobility issues for their best interest.

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for. My preference is for breeds that are moderately active but I will also be able to handle older dogs.
