Born and raised with animals 🤗

Pet care experience

I have grown up with animals my entire life. As a baby they nicknamed me critter because I was always playing with all the animals. I am a devoted and loving person and hope I can help you feel secure in hiring me to assist you with your furbabies. ❤️ I have experience in giving medications to animals both shots and pills and have had to get creative for those who don't like to take them or tend to spit them out. I also have experience in dealing with runner puppies and kitties. I currently make my own schedule so can be fairly flexible to accommodate the needs of your fur babies. This leaves me with plenty of time to follow a routine that you currently have with your four legged friends. At home I currently have a kitten who I rescued recently and he's a ball of energy that I have had to adjust to accommodate in my own schedule. That being said I understand how our animals can become a huge part of their world and I look forward to assisting you in taking care of your animals with the love and respect as of they were my own.

Alycea has been an excellent care giver for Tucker! On multiple occasions I have had to reach out to her last minute to have Tucker watched (he has severe separation anxiety) and she has been to our rescue. She has sent photos of him during his stays which is so comforting. Having someone we can trust to take care of our special needs fur baby is such a blessing. I can't recommend her enough!

I rescued two kittens. My first dumpster baby was covered in ticks that I had to carefully remove myself. He needed bottle fed for awhile before he was able to grow into his full grown crazy self now. My other baby was rescued from a shelter. She's definitely not the brightest crayon in the box which sometimes maked me have to be on my toes to save her from herself. 🤣 When caring for others pets I care for them as if they were my own and understand that animals are family members 🥰

Information Alycea B. would like to know about your pet

I typically like to know if there is anything that may "set off" the dog and how to assist in calming them down. For example I petsit a deaf puppy's with a lot of trauma so I stay very engaged with him and help him calm down when he gets overwhelmed. If they're a runner or hudini so I can be extra prepared lol. If they will need fed or need to take any medications administerd. ?✨

A typical day

I am willing to do whatever it is that your doggo needs. I have played fetch for hours on end with a hyperactive pitbull. I have gone swimming with dogs. I personally like to walk around the prairie park fishery.
