“Randi was awesome! I don’t often leave my dog so I was fairly nervous to use a stranger. However, she came by while I was here to meet my dog, and watching her with him immediately put me at ease. We have already booked another session with her!”
“Excellent sitter! On time, professional, and flexible. She’s very easy to work with and would highly recommend her to anyone who has larger dogs and may worry their pups are too big to be watched by a sitter. Morgan knows her stuff when it comes to big dogs!”
“Did an amazing job taking care of my girl Lucy, we happy we got to meet in person before the visit. Very knowledgeable and checked all the boxes with each visit. Felt very comfortable leaving the house In her hands.”
“Kelsi was amazing and she gave me constant update with photos of all my pets. I can not tell you how wonderful she is. I have one rescue dog with an abusive background and she can be very slow to trust. Kelsi was able to earn her trust. We already have plans to travel again and will only ever use Kelsi as our pet sitter in the future.”
About: Leaving your beloved fur friend doesn’t have to feel like a punishment. When left in the care of an affectionate, protective and attentive dog momma like myself, leaving can be an ultimate act of love. My name is Alicia and I have cared for and loved animals as long as I can remember. I grew up with pets. Any species you can imagine, I had one! However, my heart has always been with dogs. I have been a rescue foster for two years and it is the most rewarding way to give back. I have a large dog friendly home in a neighborhood with two dog parks, walking trails, and a large field right across the street. So your pup will not be lacking in space to run and play ooorr lounge and snooze. I have one puppy, he is a medium size cockapoo that’s quite shy but a gentle teddy bear and loves to play chase with other pups! I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby! Every dog that stays in my care is immediately assigned a tracking device on their harness/collar for added security. I also provide you with the link to their location and the link to my pet cameras so you can get a peek at your baby while you’re away. I work part time currently so I am free weekdays Tuesday - Thursday and after 2pm on Mondays and Fridays. For weekends it’s a case by case basis. I live in a beautiful neighborhood with two dog parks, walking trails, and large fields to run and play. I also have a friendly playful pup that is always down for a game of chase. I can crate your dog if needed.

About: As a lifelong dog lover, I’ve grown up in a home where we always had up to five dogs at a time—ranging from tiny lap pups to large, energetic breeds. I’m very comfortable handling dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and I have plenty of experience keeping up with high-energy pets who love to run, play, and explore. There’s nothing better than seeing the pure joy on a dog’s face during a good walk or a fun play session! I’m a firefighter/EMT, which means I work 24-hour shifts—but only about 9 days each month. This gives me plenty of free time on my days off, and I’m often available for pet care during weekdays and weekends. My schedule allows me to be dependable, responsive, and flexible, especially for last-minute bookings or ongoing care needs. My fiancée and I share our home with two Australian Shepherds and a Border Collie—so I’m no stranger to energetic, intelligent dogs that need daily exercise and mental stimulation. Even on our busiest days, we make sure our dogs are well-fed, loved, and cared for. I bring that same level of commitment to every pet I look after. You can trust that your furry family members will be treated with the same care, attention, and love that I give my own.

I have experience with administering medications and special needs! I currently work part time overnight shifts. This allows me to be free during the days to care for your fur babies while you’re away! I will respect your home and care for your babies. Walking, outside to potty, feeding, administering medications, or anything else you might need I am able to do for you!
