“Alice is definitely a dream sitter. A pleasure to work with and my dogs adored her instantly. My dogs jumped all over her the moment they met her, plus they were super excited every time she visited. Alice provided excellent daily updates and overall feedback. She went out of her way to give them the attention they needed in the short time she was with them. I also very much appreciate that she did not hesitate to water some of my plants when they looked droopy. I would absolutely call on her again the next time I am out of town.”
About: What sets me apart is my six years of hands-on experience caring for dogs, combined with formal animal hospital training. My passion began when I got my first puppy, whom I personally trained in potty training and basic commands such as sit, spin, and catch. Over time, I also gained experience managing multiple dogs in a household, learning how to balance different personalities, energy levels, and routines. I’m available Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 12:00 PM to 10:00 PM, and all day on Saturday and Sunday. During these times, I can provide walks, playtime, feeding, grooming, medication administration, and general companionship. I plan my day to prioritize pets’ needs, ensuring they get consistent care, attention, and a safe, comfortable environment while their owners are away. I currently provide pet care exclusively at my clients' homes because I already have pets at my own residence, and I'm not permitted to bring in more. While at my clients' homes, I tailor my care for their dogs based on their specific preferences. Regular updates on their pets are a priority for me, and I always communicate promptly with clients if I have any questions regarding their pets.
About: Since I was a teen I've taken care of my neighbors' dogs and cats every now and then. I've house sat and done drop in visits so I have plenty of experience. I did a birds and small mammals internship at the Waco zoo in summer of 2023 so I have a bit of exotic animal care experience if it is needed. I'm working full time right now but so far the shifts aren't super long so I have time to feed and take out any pets that I need to take care of. I take very good care of any pets I need to. I pay attention to my own, and others. I will love on them, give you updates, and check in with any questions I have so I can provide the best care possible.
“Jerica did a fantastic job with our fur babies! She was prompt, spent plenty of time with our pets every day and sent us plenty of updates. Our dogs and cats loved her and we are going to continue to use her anytime we need someone to watch our animals for us. I would recommend her to everyone!”
