About

Welcome to Alicia’s Pet and Home Care! I’m Alicia, founder and passionate animal advocate. My journey began when my beloved English Lab, Otis, suffered a traumatic experience at a kennel. Despite thorough research, Otis returned depressed, injured, and frightened. This heartbreaking incident sparked my mission to provide exceptional care, ensuring your pets’ safety and happiness. As a former registered nurse (RN), I’ve transitioned to full-time pet care, supported by one trusted independent contractor. Our services encompass daily care, walks, and specialized palliative care. This compassionate support helps you and your pets navigate the end-of-life journey, providing love, medication, and companionship. You can trust us to care for your furry family members, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I recognized a growing need for home pet care services, particularly for individuals hospitalized and unable to care for their pets. I established a partnership with the social workers at Banner Boswell, who would reach out to me for assistance. When possible, I would visit patients in the hospital to obtain necessary information, collect keys, and gather details about their pets’ care. I would then provide temporary care for their pets until family members could assume responsibility or the patient was discharged.
