Pet care experience

Pets are members of my family!

🐶 Pet Care Experience I’ve cared for pets my entire life — from my family’s cats and dogs to my own late pup and now Rover clients. I’ve looked after pets of all sizes, ages, and temperaments — from playful puppies to calm seniors. I’ve handled everything from walks and feedings to medication, crate training, and helping shy pets feel safe in new environments.

Darla and Gus’s second stay with Alycia and it was great again. Takes great care of our pets, flexible with pickup/drop off times, great communication. Definitely recommend and plan to request her help in the future!

I cannot say enough great things about Alycia and her fiancé. They are two truly lovely people who treated our pup, Nova, like their own and made sure she had the best care (even getting her a Christmas gift!) while my husband and I were away for the holidays. I can sometimes be an anxious dog mom, and Alycia put me at ease right from the start by jumping on a call to introduce herself before booking and then continuing to send pictures and updates throughout Nova's stay. I will absolutely be booking with Alycia again, and I know Nova cannot wait for another staycation with her new favorite sitters!

Alycia was great looking after Darla and Gus. Was very flexible in pickup/dropoff and was easy to communicate with. Would highly recommend!

Schedule

🐾 About Me Hi! I’m Alycia — lifelong animal lover, proud dog mom to Phoenix, and experienced pet sitter based in Secaucus, NJ. I’ve grown up with both cats and dogs, and my family still has pets, so caring for animals has always been second nature. I treat every pet like my own — safe, loved, and comfortable while you’re away. Whether it’s playtime, walks, cuddles, or sticking to routines, I tailor care to each pet’s needs and personality. At home, I have a fully fenced backyard for safe outdoor play and live near a dog park for exercise and social time. You can always expect clear communication, photo updates, and dependable, loving care. 🐶🐱💛

Safety, trust & environment

🏡 Safety, Trust & Environment Your pet’s safety and comfort come first. I maintain a clean, organized home and a fenced yard for safe play. I live in a quiet, pet-friendly neighborhood with a nearby dog park for extra fun and exercise. I follow feeding and medication schedules exactly, keep fresh water available, and stay alert to each pet’s body language to ensure they feel safe and respected. You’ll always get updates, photos, and honest communication so you can relax knowing your pet’s in good hands.

A typical day

🐕‍🦺 Describe a Typical Day A typical day includes walks, playtime, cuddles, and rest — customized to your pet’s energy level. We might visit the dog park, play fetch in my fenced yard, or just hang out for calm company. Every pet gets love and attention throughout the day.
