Pet care experience
Your pets next best friend
Hi, I’m Alycia – your pet’s next best friend! I believe animals are the purest souls on Earth, and caring for them brings me genuine joy. Whether you’re headed out for a weekend getaway or a month-long adventure, I’m here to provide trustworthy, loving, and reliable care for your furry (or feathery, or scaly!) family members. Why pet parents love working with me: • Unmatched love for animals: I’ve never met a pet I didn’t immediately adore—yes, even the barkers, scratchers, and shy ones. I treat your pets like family, because to me, they are. • Tailored communication: Want daily pupdates and photo shoots? Or just a quiet “all is well”? I adapt to your style, ensuring peace of mind while you’re away. • Experienced & intuitive: I’ve cared for everything from dogs and cats to chickens, reptiles, birds, and even horses. I’m especially sensitive to pets with anxiety or past trauma, and I know how to read body language to help them feel safe, secure, and loved. • House sitting with heart: I go above and beyond with home care—bringing in mail, watering plants, and keeping your space just as you left it (or better). Your home and pets are in excellent hands. • Flexible & fast: Need a last-minute sitter? I respond within minutes and often accommodate short-notice requests if I’m available. Plus, I offer free meet-and-greets to ensure a perfect fit. • Genuinely passionate: I do this because I love it. Nothing lights me up more than spending time with animals. I’ve even covered food costs for a pet in need—because when I care, I care all the way. From Santa Cruz to the Bay Area and beyond, I’m here to bring ease, joy, and deep care to your pet’s daily life while you’re away. Let’s set up a meet-and-greet—I’d love to meet you and your beloved pet(s)!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I treat every home with the utmost respect and care, keeping it clean, secure, and peaceful. On walks, I stay alert and present at all times—avoiding unsafe areas, monitoring interactions with other animals, and tailoring the pace to your pet’s comfort. Whether indoors or outside, I create a calm, loving environment where your pet feels safe, relaxed, and right at home.
Ratings and reviews
Alycia was great and made us feel very comfortable leaving our fur baby with her and her pets :) 5 stars for great communication.
Alycia was so great with our dog & cat! She stayed overnight at our house for 5 nights & left everything in great shape. She’s clearly a natural with animals and both our pets really took to her. Thank you Alycia!
We loved Alycia and so did our German Shepherd Eliza! Our girl is not great with new people but after the first rough night, she warmed up and really seemed to enjoy her week. Alycia was great about keeping us updated and sending pictures and videos. She also took good care of our house, brought in about 100 packages for us (!) and gave the cats some love too. We would absolutely invite her back to watch our fur babies in the future.
Alycia watched our sweet little boy while we were out of the country on really short notice. She was communicative and kept our place pristine. I would definitely recommend her for your pet sitting needs!
Wow, are we lucky we found Alycia! Alycia and her boyfriend stayed at our house and took care of our 2 dogs for about 18 days. At our meet n' greet we could tell that their caring and love for animals would provide our fur babies with a loving environment while we were gone. Alycia was calm and laid back yet detail-oriented; she asked great questions about medication and routines. While we were away, one of our dogs wasn't eating much for a few days. Alycia did an excellent job communicating with us and letting us know how he was doing and also called the vet to ask her advice on the situation. Alycia was very responsive via messages and sent us lots of photos. We feel grateful that we were able to leave our pets in such caring hands and enjoy our vacation. We hope to have Alycia and her boyfriend watch our pups again soon and highly recommend her services!
This is a late review, but Alycia stayed overnight with my dog and did a wonderful job. She was very responsible and communicative and followed all my instructions. Highly recommended!

Schedule
As a full-time pet sitter, your pets are my #1 priority—24/7. From sunrise cuddles to sunset strolls, I’m all in. I love being outdoors, so if your pup is an adventure lover, we’ll be hitting the trails, parks, and quiet neighborhood walks throughout the day. Whether your pet prefers a calm routine or energetic play, I tailor our schedule to their unique needs, keeping them happy, loved, and exercised.

- Please share anything important about your pet’s behavior or routine—especially how they do with other dogs and people, any dietary needs or allergies, sleeping preferences (crate or free roaming), and how long they’re comfortable being home alone. The more I know, the better I can tailor my care to make sure they feel safe, happy, and at ease while you’re away.
