Highlights
Pet care experience
Remote worker & experienced sitter
🏡 I work fully remotely, which means your dog will have company throughout the day and won't be left alone for long periods. Between my girlfriend and I, there is always someone at home to provide companionship, playtime, regular toilet breaks, walks and plenty of attention. 🤝 Before any booking, I always arrange a free meet and greet. This gives us a chance to get to know each other, allows your dog to become familiar with me and their surroundings, and gives you the opportunity to ask any questions before their stay. 🐾 One thing that's particularly important to me is maintaining your dog's normal routine wherever possible. Before every stay, I'll ask about their feeding schedule, walking habits, sleeping arrangements and any little quirks they may have. I strongly believe dogs settle best when their usual routine is maintained, so I always do my best to make their stay feel as familiar and stress-free as possible. 🐶 I've been caring for dogs for several years and genuinely enjoy getting to know each dog's unique personality. Over that time I've looked after dogs of all sizes, ages and temperaments, from energetic puppies who want to play all day to older dogs who prefer a slower pace and plenty of comfort. ❤️ I grew up around pets and have always been a dog lover. As I do not currently have a dog of my own, I really enjoy the opportunity to meet new pups and give them my full attention during their stay. I treat every dog as if they were part of the family and work hard to make sure they feel safe, relaxed and at home. 👫 I live with my girlfriend who is also an experienced Rover sitter. We live together in Petts Wood and both share a genuine love of dogs and providing them with a safe, comfortable home-from-home experience. 📩 We would love to hear from you, so please drop me a message anytime!

Ratings and reviews
Archie had a great time with Alex! He was very well looked after and Alex was very happy to follow Archie’s normal routine with his meals and walks! 5*
My miniature dachshund Winnie spent a lovely 2 days with Alex whilst I went to the office and it was clear she had a brilliant time - she came back so happy and content! Alex was great at caring for Winnie from start to finish - he stuck to her routine, provided regular updates and made her feel right at home. Winnie is always a little nervous at first but by the afternoon of day 1 Alex had well and truly won her round, and she was so excited when we arrived back at his house for day 2 of the care! I would 100% recommend Alex to care for anyone’’s fur babies!
The dogs were in great hands with Alex and we were very happy with how they were looked after and the service he offered. We will definitely use again and I would recommend Alex as a dog sitter.
Alex has previously looked after Banjo for day care but this was his first overnight stay. We were kept updated and Alex was flexible with pick up and drop off which was appreciated. As before, Banjo came home a very happy pup. Thanks again!
Another great time at Alex's for Banjo! Alex kept us updated during the day and a very happy Banjo has returned home again. Thank you!
Alex was great with Banjo who came home very happy and relaxed. Alex is knowledgeable, reliable and easygoing. You can tell he is experienced with dogs of all ages. Thank you Alex, Banjo is already looking forward to the next time!

Schedule
🗓️ I work fully remotely, which means I'm home throughout the day and can provide plenty of attention, companionship and regular walks. My girlfriend also works a hybrid schedule, so between us there is always someone at home. Whether your dog enjoys long walks, playtime in the garden or simply relaxing with company nearby, we'll make sure they feel comfortable and well cared for throughout their stay.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
🔒 Your dog's safety and comfort are always my priority. We have a fully fenced and secure garden where they can safely explore, play and relax. As we don't currently have any pets of our own, your dog will receive plenty of one-to-one attention. We'll always follow any instructions regarding feeding, exercise, medication and general care to ensure they feel right at home.
A typical day
☀️ Every dog is different, so I always tailor the day around their individual needs and routine. As I work from home, your dog will have company throughout the day, regular toilet breaks, playtime, garden access and plenty of attention. We also have parks nearby for daily walks and I'm always happy to head out on longer adventures for dogs who enjoy a little extra exercise.
