Reviews & Testimonials
“I have been using Alicia’s services for my dog and two cats for the last year and a half. She is highly trustworthy, dependable, and professional. I never have to worry about my dear ones being properly cared for when I can’t be there to do it myself, thanks to Alicia. I would recommend her without reservation to anyone who needs a dog walker or pet sitter.”
“Alicia was my dog sitter when I had my sweet pups Bucky and Katy. I was working in New York every week, and she took great care of them while I was away. She is a true animal lover and advocate and knows a great deal about animals. She is very responsible, caring, and trust worthy. I am delighted to provide the very best recommendation for Alicia.”
“We feel very fortunate to have Alicia as part of our canine care team! She’s reliable, responsible, and kind. When we’re away, it’s comforting to know that our dog is in such loving and capable hands.”
“Alicia was wonderful with our cats and all their care instructions. We felt confident they were in great hands while we were out of town.”
“Alicia has been an amazing part of our team at Green Pawz Pet Supply. She is passionate about animal nutrition and care. She is very familiar with dog behavior and the important needs of every animal. She has been caring for my senior dog and cat in my home and I am so lucky to have her. She sends me pics and messages when she visits so that I can relax and know they are in good hands. She’s the best!!!”
“Alicia was wonderful with our dog Si! She sent me daily updates and pictures and he looked very happy to have such a great dog walker. I’ll definitely be re-booking with her every time I need a sitter!”
“Alicia was a life saver to come over last minute and handle all the pups I was sitting so I could go on a day trip to the beach! They were happy pups when I came home :-)”
“Alicia is one of the best in the industry. She has over 8 years of experience as a pet nutritionist and even more years of experience in animal care. She is one of the most trusted animal care specialists in the ann arbor area, her resume and clients to show for it. Don’t spend your time worrying about the people you choose to care for your family, make the safe and right choice, call Alicia. She’s a mother and a pet parent herself.”
“We have been so happy with Alicia’s care for our dog. When scheduling, Alicia responds quickly and communication is easy. It’s obvious she loves animals and is kind and confident during her visits.”
“Alicia has been walking our very active labradoodle, Scarlett, multiple times a week for the past two years. Alicia is both dependable and flexible - if we need her to add an additional day or pick up Scarlett from daycare, Alicia always does her best to meet our needs. Best of all, Scarlett LOVES Alicia. Her play sessions are her favorite time of day, and we always come home to a happy, tired dog.”
“Alicia has spent her life caring for animals. She has always loved being around animals and creatures...I guess that’s just who she is. She responsible and honest and will respect your pet. She’s very good with dogs maybe a Whisperer.”
“Alicia took great care of our two dogs while we were out of town for Thanksgiving. The dogs loved the attention (and the treats!) and we really appreciated the updates and pictures while we were away. Thanks, Alicia! We look forward to booking with you again!”
“Alicia was incredibly patient and loving during her week-long visits with our relatively high-maintenance, elderly cocker spaniels. She provided photos and updates during every visit and communicated about any issues that arose. We’re extremely happy with her and will make her our go-to next time we leave town!”
“We were lucky to find Alicia about a year ago. We were afraid we would lose her when we moved, but fortunately for us, she was still willing to work with us. She is very reliable and has not cancelled on us once. She always works hard to fit our pups into her schedule, even when we request her help at the last minute. She sends text updates at every visit, including pictures! She even takes our pups on “field trips” sometimes to the park or just for a nice walk in a new place. We feel safe having her come into our home and know she will take good care of pups. We highly recommend her and her services!!!”
“We love Alicia!! She has cared for Charlie Brown both at her home and many home visits.She is trustworthy and gives stellar care to our pup. Highly recommended!”
“In May 2017, I was looking for a dog walker to help me out with Chloe, my wiggly and energetic Vizsla puppy. Finding Alicia was a life changer! For almost a year now, she has been walking Chloe (3x/week) and taking care of her when I go on business trips (lasting 2 to 12 days). When Chloe is with Alicia, I never worry. She treats Chloe like her own pup. Her constant communication with me is also fantastic and reassuring. I always get texts with pictures of Chloe playing and letting me know when she is safely back home. I also appreciate Alicia’s knowledge of nutrition, exercise, and general pet health, which makes me feel like I have another family member looking out for Chloe at all times. There is no doubt that Chloe absolutely loves her time with Alicia as well. Alicia often takes Chloe to play with other dogs during her walks, which is great because it gets more of her wiggles out, but also because it helps her make new friends. After getting home from last business trip, I could tell by Chloe’s “deep sighs” that she really missed Alicia and all her puppy friends. It’s amazing how quickly Alicia has become part of our lives. I feel very fortunate. And I honestly don’t know what we’d do without her!”
“Alicia is a very caring and trustworthy person when it comes to dogs and people. Her respect of animals comes out in her patience and knowledge. She has worked with pets for so many years and it shows. When you intrust her with your pet you have a piece of mind.”
“Alicia is my daughter and for over 20 years she has been caring for and/or responsible for many dogs. When she was younger (10 or so) she started her own ‘dog walking’ business in the neighborhood.She would provide walking, letting out dogs for those folks that were at work, feeding/watering and the best part, playing with them. I remember one time in particular when she brought all of them into the house, and I think there were about 7 total, it was so fun/funny to see them all in our small living room laying down and resting after their walk. Her dad and I never minded the occasional visits, we knew them all and had fun.If you are considering a ‘loving dog caregiver’, you would NOT be sorry for choosing Alicia...she is by far one of THE most caring and compassionate people I know.”
“I feel so lucky that we found Alicia as a walker for our dog, Frank. Not only is Alicia wonderful with animals, but she is one of the most reliable and responsible people we have ever worked with. I’m thankful for the peace of mind knowing that she will always be there when she says she will. Alicia is also a fantastic communicator: she responds to my messages almost immediately, she always sends photos and updates from walks, and I often return home to a lovely handwritten note or special treat she left for Frank. Whenever Alicia is walking Frank, I know he is in exceptionally good hands! ”
“My longtime cat sitter retired a few years ago, and I tried many pet sitters looking for a good fit. How relieved I was to find Alicia!She is the perfect combination of sensitive (to both me and my cat), responsive, and calm.In addition to having a wonderful way with my cat, she is knowledgeable, experienced and reliable and I trust her judgment to make the right decisions in my absence about my cat and my home.Alicia is also well connected to the local pet care community, so I trust that in an emergency, she could get my pet the care that is needed.I am so fortunate to have found Alicia!”
“Alicia always does a great job taking care of our cat, Scarlett, whenever we are out of town.Scarlett can sometimes be standoffish and Alicia is very kind to her, and has developed a routine to meet her needs and make her comfortable while we are away. Alicia never misses a feeding and always texts us a picture of Scarlett with her daily updates to reassure us that all is well at home and with kitty. I am so grateful to have such a reliable pet-sitter and I couldn’t recommend Alicia more! ”
“Alicia has been working with Luce for the past few years. Luce is always excited to see her and thrilled about the walk. I love getting pictures and text update about the walk. Luce just turned 8. As you can imagine, we have gone through a fair share of dog walking services. While most of them get the job done, they are either too corporate, too rigid in their policies, lack the personal touch, or just plain business transaction. That is not the case with Alicia. She not only walks Luce but also recommends dog foods that could help with Luce’s allergy. She’s flexible with last minute appointment and cancelation. Not that I advocate that but sometime life happens and I appreciate her understanding. Throughout the years I have been recommending Alicia to my friends. Now I’m so glad I get to recommend her to all of you.”
“Alicia began caring for Bernie when our family was going through some difficult times. From our first ‘get-acquainted’ visit with her and Faline I knew that Alicia was the right person to entrust him to. She is a true professional: unfailingly reliable, highly knowledgeable and extremely sensitive to the needs and behaviors of each dog in her ‘pack’. I especially appreciate the regular updates - and pictures - she sends. Best of all, she clearly loves what she does; Bernie - and we - are all the richer for it !”
