Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced dog walker & cat sitter
Growing up in the welsh countryside I have always been around animals. We had cats and jack russell terriers when I was young, and later on I helped out on a farm with horses and working collies. This love for animals carried on as I got older and I started walking neighbours dogs (bull mastiffs) for free and cat sitting for friends when they went away. Post Uni I started helping out locally with dog walking through borrow my doggy. I ended up house sitting for one of my customer’s houses a few times to look after their dog while they were on holiday (the lovely Vizsla in my photos). More recently I volunteered for German Shepherd Rescue Elite in Nottingham as shepherds and Malis are my personal favourite, so now have a fair range of experience with larger breeds and some reactivity issues. I really loved both the rescue and my regular borrow my doggy connections and would have carried on however, I have moved to Brighton and the commute would’ve been a bit tough! I have two cats now and I am calm and responsible and will always treat your animals as if they are my own and will send regular updates so you know how things are going! Really looking forward to making some new animal friends, please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions, always happy to chat to make sure you are confident with who you are entrusting to look after your family member!

Safety, trust & environment
We have no garden and two cats at home so having other pets in our flat would not be an option however, I am more than happy to look after your pets in your own home during the working day if I am able to borrow your wifi to work from home at the same time!
Ratings and reviews
Alex has such a lovely calm presence and our dog Ziggy felt right at ease straight away! We were kept up to date the whole day with adorable photos too. We felt completely secure and confident that Ziggy was in the safest hands - thank you so much Alex :)
Alex was really flexible and squeezed in walking my dog Olly on a busy day, taking great care of him in the hot weather. I would definitely recommend Alex to others.
Alex was so fantastic with Peggy and made Peggy feel very at home and cared for! I received lots of updates which was lovely and I felt super comfortable that Peggy was being well loved. Alex was all the things you could wish for in a sitter, attentive, punctual, responsive, communicate and with a clear love for animals.
Alex walked our dog Mishmish and house sat for us for nearly two years, and we couldn’t have asked for someone more reliable and caring. Mishmish absolutely adored Alex, it was clear from the start how much attention, patience, and genuine affection Alex brought to every visit. Alex would show up everytime we agreed, rain or shine and would also train him not just go for a regular walk. Alex was more like a godparent for Mishmish. We’d recommend Alex to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog walker/ sitter. Thank you xx
Alex has walked our dog Mishmish regularly for a number of years as well as also housesitting for us on occasion. Alex is brilliant with Mishmish. She’s caring and committed and has a genuine connection with him. I would highly recommend Alex when it’s comes to caring for dogs. She’s respectful, kind and generally a wonderful person!
Alex is an experienced pet owner and can always be trusted to look after my cat Marie. She has fed and cared for Marie when she was pregnant and many times since then. Alex is happy to go above and beyond and they can be trusted to keep my home clean and tidy when they leave the house. Alex always takes pictures and videos while I'm away and is always quick to reply to my messages. I cannot think of a kinder and more trust worthy person to look after my cat and I (even as a bit of a nervous cat owner) always feel completely at peace knowing Marie is being cared for by Alex.

Schedule
I’m in the office generally Tuesdays and Wednesdays and work from home the rest of the week so am available for walking/drop ins after work (4:30pm onwards) on most weekdays. I can do some morning visits on days I’m not in the office and any time on most weekends - just ask and I’ll let you know if I can fit it in!
