Pet care experience
Work-from-Home Dog Lover
My wife and I have over 8 years of experience managing multi-dog households and caring for pups of all personalities. Your dog's safety and routine are my top priorities. What I offer: Active Outings: Fun walks to local parks and beaches (dogs with poor recall stay safely on-lead). Medical & Diet Needs: Experienced with administering oral medication (pills) and managing strict dietary routines or allergies. Multi-Dog Setup: Fully comfortable supervising and entertaining multiple dogs at once. Communication: I'll send photo's and video's of your dogs throughout the day unless requested otherwise. Meet & Greet: we’d ideally want to do a meet and greet and ensure you're happy with Kaia and us to take care of your doggies ! We’ll keep your pup safe, active, and loved exactly the way you do!

Ratings and reviews
Milo had a fantastic day with Alex and his dog Kaia, we received plenty of updates, videos and photos throughout the day which kept us at ease knowing he was settling in well! Alex was extremely responsive and clearly communicated throughout the booking process and whilst Milo was at his house, giving us an early update to reassure us he was all good! He obviously had a great time as he’s been fast asleep since we got home didn’t want to leave when picking him up. Thanks so much Alex, Milo will be visiting again for sure!
Barnie had an amazing stay!! Daily updates and pictures were really appreciated and he was clearly settled and was very well cared for. Will use and again and would definitely recommend 👌
Alex is great with pets of all shapes and sizes. As he works from home, he gets to interact with all pets frequently and enjoys the company. He’s great at communication and ensuring that photos are sent throughout the day.
Alex has looked after our dog on numerous occasions. We're always at ease when we leave her with Alex as we know she's well looked after and always has a great time. He sends pictures of her time there and she looks so happy every time. We'd 100% recommend Alex!
Alex looked after my two dogs Buddy and Winnie, he was reliable, excellent communication and clearly loves and care for the pets he looks after, it was a smooth experience from start to finish and felt really comfortable leaving my two dogs with him. Regular updates and photos which helped put my mind at ease, I highly recommend Alex to anyone that needs someone to look after their beloved pets Very trustworthy and caring! 10/10
Alex has looked after both of our dogs, Buddy and Winnie, and we couldn’t recommend them more highly. They always have a fantastic time, enjoying plenty of long walks, playtime, and lots of care and attention. It’s such a comfort being able to relax while we’re on holiday, knowing our dogs are happy, safe, and being so well looked after. Alex is dependable, reliable, and clearly has a genuine love for dogs. Buddy and Winnie are always excited to see Alex, which says it all. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Alex to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter.

Schedule
I work from home full-time (my wife does hybrid working) and am available to board dogs any day of the week, including weekends. Because I am here all day, your pup will get constant companionship, desk-side cuddles, and unlimited toilet breaks whenever they need them. My Home & Availability: Fully Secure Yard: I have a fully fenced, secure garden where your dog can safely stretch their legs and play. Minimal Time Alone: I am home almost 24/7. If I do need to step out for groceries or an errand, it is for a maximum of 3 hours—but I can easily adjust this and stay home the entire time if your dog has separation anxiety! Your dog’s routine will be fully maintained, and they will never feel lonely.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
A Secure Fenced Garden: we have a fully fenced, secure garden perfect for safe playtime, toilet breaks, and fresh air. Careful, Controlled Introductions: we have a friendly dog of my own who can be a little anxious when first meeting new friends. Because of this, we are highly practiced in safe introductions! When a new guest arrives, we immediately go for a calm, neutral walk together outdoors. Walking side-by-side lowers tension and allows the dogs to socialise safely at their own pace before coming inside. The Juliet Balcony (The Ultimate Lookout): My home features a secure Juliet balcony with a fantastic view. Dogs absolutely love sitting here to watch the world go by! It’s a great spot for mental stimulation and keeping them entertained throughout the day.

A typical day
We usually go on a walk during the midday however as it's been hot lately, we have been going at 8/9pm instead. Enjoy a lovely walk around the estate lasting about 30-60 minutes. Gives them plenty time to get all the smells and interactions.
