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.

Having Alicia, pet & home care come into my home a few days to look after my two cats was an awesome experience. I haven’t had much luck in the past so with that said, I can actually leave town knowing that my two cats are in good hands. I would also like to add that I came home with no litter trails as she took the time to vacuum my house! Thank you! Now I can leave town again knowing that my two cool cats are in good hands. I will definitely use this company again.

Details: Cat • 2 pets • Changing litter or bedding • Giving food and water • Short visit (30 minutes) • Two times a day • My home, venue, etc.
