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
We had a fantastic experience with Alex looking after our dog Tofu over the whole bank holiday weekend. From the moment I dropped him off, we felt completely reassured that he was in such good hands. Alex took great care of Tofu and kept us updated every day with photos, which was really lovely and gave us peace of mind while we were away. Tofu also really enjoyed the company of Alex’s dog, Kaia, and it was great to see how well they got along. Tofu came home happy and settled, and I think he definitely enjoyed his little holiday! He’d probably be more than happy to go back again. 🐶❤️ We’d definitely recommend Alex to anyone looking for someone caring, reliable and trustworthy to look after their dog. 😊
Alex was fantastic with Maple! She was very well looked after during her 3-day stay and it was clear she was happy and comfortable. Great communication, photos and care throughout, we’d happily have Alex look after Maple again!
We had a last minute booking for our travel and luckily found Alex. It was a breeze from the start, when we took our cockapoo Alfie which went absolutely well, and we dropped him off later, till we picked him up. It was so heart warming to see Alfie’s pics and videos all throughout our holiday, reassuring he is in good hands. They made sure he had his medicine at the right time and played along with their puppy Kaiya. It was a top rated experience for us and look forward to use his services in future as well. :)
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.

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.

- Let me know of any allergies, feeding times and how they interact with other animals and I can work with them accordingly. Tell me what tricks they can do and I'll make sure to give them mental stimulation too !
