Alicia is great!! Our 3 dogs loved her and we had no worries while on vacation when they were with her! Very dependable and knowledgeable. We enjoyed getting constant updates and pics of our fur babies! Definitely will be using her anytime we need a sitter.

About: I grew up with cats, from kittens to seniors. My chores growing up involved feeding them, grooming, cleaning up after them. My aunt and uncle had dogs I would help with growing up, and they were always active and high maintenance. In middle school, I dog sat for my neighbors and enjoyed it thoroughly. I have experience in training and handling both cats and dogs, and love a challenge! I am a full time student, but my days are very flexible. I have near full availability Thursday-Sunday and I am willing to work with you to find time for your pets! I am very respectful and willing to work with your rules and times. I am very familiar with following rules and making sure I am following every instruction to a T!

Mallory was amazing with my dog and two cats! We were gone for 9 days and my animals loved her. She was friendly and organized. She communicated throughout our vacation and even sent pictures daily! Will definitely rebook with her.

I was so nervous to leave our 13 year old fur baby as both my husband and I were going out of town for work. Jessica took all of my worries away. Her updates and upbeat attitude helped put my mind at ease. I will absolutely trust her to watch our sweet boy again! I am so thankful for her!

A great sitter! Responded fast, sent great pictures and I needed a sitter who would make sure my pup was following his schedule and our training schedule. She did this very well and with such love. I can tell he was happy and well taken care of. Not to mention how flexible she was with our booking and her time. Definitely will book again!
