Highlights
Pet care experience
Lifelong pet lover available for house sitting
I’m a lifelong pet lover; my family have owned dogs for years & they’re definitely more than pets to us! I have extensive experience with terriers, spaniels and labradors in particular & frequently look after my brother’s seven dogs (including four working gun dogs). I own a working cocker spaniel puppy who keeps me busy! Additionally I have both owned cats and looked after those of both friends and colleagues. I certainly appreciate that cats have their own particular energy and are more often than not the boss of the house! And I’m fairly sure at this stage that my photo library on my phone is at least 88% pictures of various excellent pets. I always take great care with any animal in my protection and consider a day without a cuddle is a day wasted.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Alex took amazing care of our dog the week we traveled. She sent updates and pictures of his antics. We returned to a warm home, and extremely happy pup. It was clear he’d been tended to with love and was well adjusted.
Alex is a wonderful and caring dog sitter. She looked after our dog Ogden for 2 weeks and we couldn't have been happier. She is a true dog lover, and kept us up to date with how she was getting on and her adventures with our dog. It was incredibly reassuring to know that Ogden was in such safe and caring hands. When she left Ogden was pretty put out at losing his new friend.

Pets
A typical day
Typically I like to get a few walks in if they have the energy; I also love to play with their favourite toys and once everyone’s well exercised, a cuddle or two if that’s what they like. Lots of sniffs to be had too!
