Pet care experience
I've taken care of all kinds of dogs since I was 13, when my family rescued our first dog (Puggy the Pug!!). Having personally cared for my own English bulldog for the past 8 years, I have experience in both training puppies and senior care and will provide your dog with the highest level of care and attention. Facts about us: - We live alone with no other pets meaning that we will focus 100% on your pooch, giving him/her lots of love while you are away. - We have a one-dog boarding policy meaning that your dog will get all the attention he/she deserves - We live in close proximity to two major London parks, allowing your pup to get lots of outdoor exercise. Should parks be a bit intimidating (we know they can sometimes be overwhelming for your dog!), we have a large fenced-in garden for him/her to run around off-leash, though we always ensure that pets under our care are leashed when walking in public spaces. - We can work-from-home on weekdays, providing company and comfort to your dog with minimal time left alone. - We have patient personalities and are very organised (one of us is a teacher). We understand the importance of routine and how breaks from a routine can be detrimental to the training of your dog. So whatever your rules are for your pup at home will be our rules as well! - Prior to dog-sitting, we will need a detailed list of your pet's allergies, triggers, and behaviour to ensure the best possible care.
Reviews
Couldn’t have gone better!!! I left my very nervous American bully rescue with Alastair and his partner for 3 days and I knew from the moment I arrived with her they were great dog people, they could see her nerves and sat straight down on the floor and let her come to them. Communication was excellent through out with daily updates and photos/videos so I’m very very happy and will 100% recommend to friends and use again myself! Thank you guys!! 🙏
Alastair was amazing with Bubbles - she had a great time and we will be back!
Alastair was very professional and good at updating us with pictures of Basil during her stay. You could tell he is very good with dogs and making sure they are cared for. We will absolutely be looking to book with Alastair again in the future!
Alastair took amazing care of Bubbles. He was great at communicating her activities and assuring me that she was both well looked after and having a wonderful time. I will definitely rebook. Thanks a bundle!
About Alastair W.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
We have a fenced-in garden for your dog to enjoy and a pet-safe environment to provide a home away from home for your pet. Depending on your dog's activity and comfort level, we also take him/her on walks in the park, socialising with other dogs and offering more opportunities to stretch out those legs. If you are a runner with your trusty companion always by your side, we can do that as well!

Information Alastair W. would like to know about your pet
- Daily schedule, including walk times, feed times, and sleep schedule - Feed frequency and amount - Walking behaviour (how your dog greets others, both human and non-human) - Allergies, sensitivities, and triggers - Anything else of importance when caring for your dog
A typical day
There will be lots of attention and playtime in store for your dog when he/she comes to stay! We have a fenced-garden for your dog to enjoy and are close to two large parks where we can do lots of exploring. We believe that both physical and mental stimulation are key to a dog's health so try to provide that mental stimulation through different games when at home.
