Pet care experience

Retired and ready for walkies!

After many years in the corporate world, I recently retired and decided it was finally time to do something I genuinely love, caring for dogs. Dogs have been a huge part of my life, at one point I had four of my own. Caring for them through every stage of life has given me extensive hands-on experience particularly with rescue and senior dogs who need extra patience, understanding and care. Although I am new to Rover, I have spent many years looking after friends' dogs while they travelled, I understand how important it is for owners knowing that dogs are safe, relaxed, cared for. Your dog will stay in a spacious four bedroom house with a large secure garden. Dogs are welcome throughout the house, this is very much a home from home environment with no restrictions on where they can relax or sleep. There are comfortable dog beds around the house, plenty of sofa options if they prefer or my own bed if they so wish. I am fortunate to have four parks within walking distance of my home but I also regularly drive to larger walking areas and country parks where there is more space, quieter routes and plenty of shade during warmer weather. The walks are always tailored to the individual dog I am caring for. The younger and energetic can enjoy adventure walks, while older or senior dogs are given a gentler pace with shorter but more frequent walk. This is not just a business venture for me, it's an opportunity to spend time doing something I really love, giving dogs a caring comfortable home and their owners complete peace of mind. i almost forgot, I am insured and DBS checked.

Alessia was great with looking after our rescue golden retriever. I really appreciated Alessia reaching out before to meet Lola prior to her stay. She was genuinely interested in Lola and how to care for her needs. During her stay, we got photo updates and Lola got lots of walks. We would definitely use her again.

Rudy had a fantastic holiday with Alessia. She takes him out for the long walks he really needs and has even helped him spend time off lead! Alessia is super communicative and has been flexible too. We won’t hesitate to book Rudy in with her again!

Snowy had a wonderful time staying with Alessia. She kindly kept in touch with me on my holiday to let me know that Snowy had settled well. He slept like a log when he got in so must have enjoyed his walks in the shade.

I am at home full time so fully adaptable to your dog's routine. I do have my own dog, she gets two walks a day. The boarded dog would have a minimum of two walk as well, more if needed.
