Reliable active family in West End. Great reviews!
Pet care experience
We are an active family and have always had our own dogs. However we have temporarily relocated to Edinburgh after living abroad for many years so we can't commit to having our own dogs here. We work from home and enjoy having dogs around. We walk, run or cycle most days and love having dogs with us. We are close to the Water of Leith which is lovely for dog walking. We are happy to walk and look after your friendly and socialised dog, on a one-off or regular basis. We usually only take one dog at a time so your dog is guaranteed to get plenty of individual attention in a calm environment with no stress or competition from others. One of our own dogs became blind as she got older, so we are also very familiar with caring for dogs who need that extra bit of looking after. (In a role reversal, we became her 'guide humans'!) With the Rover app it is easy for me to send you updates, show you where and how long we have walked and keep you informed about how your dog is settling in.
Reviews
Alice was so good with looking after Norah and was very flexible! Norah came back very relaxed and happy! Highly recommend.
We've been so grateful, not to mention lucky to have found Alice who has looked after, Nonny our 8 month old Golden Retriever twice. She has a wonderful, soothing manner and provided Nonny with an excellent level of care. Thank you once again, Alice :-)
Great dog sitter. Our dog stayed with Alice for 2 days whilst we explored Edinburgh. Henry (the dog) was definitely excited to see Alice on the second day, which can only mean he had a great time. Thanks and would definitely recommend.
Alice was very kind to Scooby. He loved her. She is easygoing and flexible.

I keep a close eye on your dog when s/he is with me at home. I only take one dog at a time so they are guaranteed full attention and care.
Home
Information Alice J. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know as much as possible about their character - are they nervous, anxious, cautious, etc. Tell me about their normal routine, such as when they are used to being fed and how much, where they sleep, what they like to play with and how, and how they interact with other dogs when on a walk. Also, the commands they are familiar with. Anything that 'triggers' them, such as cats, squirrels, cyclists. Info on any medication they need to be given, if relevant. I am happy to look after most breeds and particularly enjoy border collies and spaniels.
A typical day
We will go on frequent walks in the local area, usually along the Water of Leith. Depending on your dog's needs these can be short or long, and either fast (we like running!) or gentle. There will be many opportunities for exploring, sniffing and socialising.

I am lucky enough to work part-time from home, so am flexible and easily able to take time out for walks as and when I want.
