Alicia, Owner of WPP, founded Winter Park Paws Dog Daycare & Suites℠ after identifying a need for boutique high-quality facility-based pet care while building her private dog walking business. She launched Winter Park Paws Dog Daycare & Suites, focusing on small group home-like care within a facility.
Natives of Winter Park, Alicia, and Chelsey have over 20 combined years of pet care experience and aimed to establish a women-led minority business within their community. In 2018, Alicia moved on from corporate marketing to pursue her dream in pet care, culminating in opening her daycare and boarding facility in Winter Park during the pandemic.
Supported by her Co-founder, Chelsey, and the community, they have served thousands of customers, dedicating their lives to providing personalized, high-quality care for every canine that comes their way.
Winter Park Paws provides a nurturing, holistic, and stimulating environment, ensuring pets receive the same detailed care they do at home. The facility prioritizes compassion, safety, and reliability, guided by professionalism and cleanliness. Alicia and Chelsey are committed to their community and pets, which drives their passion for high-quality pet care.

Meet the Business Owner: Alicia V.
Alicia was raised in Winter Park, and a Lake Howell High School graduate.
Alicia is a highly passionate and dedicated individual with 20+ years of pet-caring experience.
Since a very young age, Alicia has owned, raised, cared for, rescued, adopted, and been passionate about animals.
Alicia's passion for dogs and pet care grew so deep that at 28, she moved on from her career in corporate marketing and chose to fulfill her life-long dream. Risking it all, Alicia opened her dog walking business at 29, which grew into a dog daycare and boarding operation with a brick-and-mortar located in Winter Park, FL. She has made it her lifestyle to care for animals and give back to the community she grew up in.
