About Me
Hello! I'm Alicia Martin, I’m 22 and grew up here in St. Marys Ontario. I'm a passionate animal lover, art enthusiast and enjoyer of photography and social media! My home resides of my partner, David and our dogs, Henry, Twix; the corgis and Arthur the mutt. Theres also Fluffy the sphynx cat, Martin & Dom the day geckos and my 6 rats (Cinnamon, lucky, Trix, K, Reece's, Chex).
I'm also a part time digital artist and costume maker. I enjoy taking custom orders on pet caricatures and selling merchandise of my artwork and my costumes I handmake at conventions and markets. I love art as much as I love animals!
On my spare time I love photography and taking pictures of dogs and animals. I enjoy getting out my camera or phone to take adventure shots or some nice portraits. I keep an updated social of my dogs on Instagram! @StoneTownCorgis (if you wish to follow!)
My dogs and I have dabbled in conformation dog shows, agility training, herding trails, obedience and many other different dog sports. I've come to love training, learning with my dogs and trying new experiences. I'm strictly force free, positive training only.
Growing up my life was all about animals, as much as it is now! I spent a lot of time at my grandparents farm, playing with many different animals like horses, pigs, chickens, cats and dogs.
Most summers I spent horseback riding at my grandparents place or helping my aunt raise welsh corgi puppies.
Some of my best memories come from spending many hours with the animals and just spending time with my dogs.

Welcome to our home!
We are located on James street south, right in St. Marys!
Pets over for boarding or daycare stay here in my own home! We are not a kennel or facility just a personal home and that’s what makes us so unique!
Animals get the comfort of a house & yard just like at their home! They get the roam the house, sleep in the human bed, cuddle on the couch or spend all the time they’d like to run in the yard.
Pets get the usual routine of people getting up and leaving for work, gathering in the kitchen and making diner or spending time at family movie night. It’s the usual normal routine that makes it so comfortable for pets to stay here! And I, Alicia, will be home for most hours of the day so they’ll have comfort of human championship for most of the day and during night.
We now have an Indoor/outdoor area long the back of the property for more room for fun and play! Will be a great spot for when its chilly or too hot out!

Experience
Working with animals is my passion. I love dogs, cats, horses, rats, lizards and well most animals you could name. I've been pet sitting for over 3 years professionally.
I am pet first aid and dog CPR certified with Canine Health Canada along with being a verified member of Pet Sitters International.
I have experience assisting in a dog kennel, from handling dogs, cleaning kennels, yards and messes. Grooming tasks like clipping nails, bathing dogs, blowing out coats and clipping fur.
With my own dog I have attended many classes on obedience and agility. I've learned many techniques and fundamentals for training dogs. I'm strictly positive training only with my dogs and dogs I work with. I have dealt with excitable and energetic working dogs with a surplus of energy, not many dogs can wear me out. Big and small, will not be a challenge for me.
With my long work with dogs I have learnt so much over the years on dog behavior and can understand their language quite well. Every dog is different but I am able to understand their signals very quickly.
Dogs are not the only animals I have experience with, I also own multiple pet rats currently and have had cats, rabbits and hamsters in my past. I also have experience around horses, chinchillas, hedgehogs, ferrets, Small birds and geckos, all animals I'd be comfortable to care for.
I have also worked on a barn, cleaning barn stalls and preparing horses for riding.
Every animal is unique with their own explicit needs and care, I understand the importance of all animals. I hope I can be someone you will trust to care and look after the individual needs of your animal and best friend.
