Alice Pet Services
About
I've been raised around animals and currently have animals of my own. ive had experience with very hyperactive dogs and cats as well as very calm ones. i can walk dogs even hefty ones like great danes or mastiffs perfectly fine and make sure they behave and feel comfortable around me. one of my greatest accomplishments is turning a very shy and scared cat into one of the most loving animals i've ever known.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I offer overnight care for continued costumers and like to clean a lot too if that's okay with the customer.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Constant contact with animals big and small. not properly trained but did groom animals for neighbors and family for some years.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your services? If so, please share the details here.
minimum wage for colorado is 10.2$/h and i accept that for 1-4 hours but over 4 hours i just accept 40$ for the day.
How did you get started in this business?
growing up i've always loved being around animals and helping people in general with anything. watching animals really is just honest work for me i love it so much because animals are just blessings. people often mistake aggressive animals as just a danger but with enough love any animal can turn into a total love bug.
What types of customers have you worked with?
neighbors, family friends along with people my neighbors have sent to me. unfortunately i have moved and don't have any contact information to have references but my family can always say i've had a thing for helping animals and people.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
My godmother adopted a rescue pitbull, she came from an abusive household and was terrified of people coming close or touching her. i met with her a couple times and she warmed up very quick, it started with her sitting closer and closer and within the 3rd day she was licking me and was more comfortable then she was with anyone else in the house. yes i got lucky with the short time but if the animal isn't comfortable with the sitter then the sitter isn't a good fit. animals should be comfortable within their own home and with the person who is taking temporary care of them.
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
make sure that they don't use hard methods to train or punish. animals can be very sensitive to very strict authority. i don't do training because i did not go through professional steps for it.
What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
i think they should think about the kids who would like to get headstarts on jobs or if they want to pursue a carrier in animals.
