Pet care experience

Treats all pets with absolute love and care

Hi, I’m Alex and live in Boothstown in Worsley, 15 minutes from Manchester City. We lost our much loved dog Joshua, who was 14 and a half years old a couple of years ago now. After waiting a couple of years since loosing Joshua we've recently become doggy daddies to a beautiful golden retriever pup - Cindy. She is extremely adorable and clever and has a lovely playful temperament. She's very good with children - and all my nieces and nephews absolutely love her. She's also very friendly and playful with other dogs. I'm available for boarding and walking around the Worsley area every day of the week as I work from home full time. I love all kinds of animals, but especially dogs as they have been a massive part of my life for many years. I've got alot of experience with caring for dogs from looking after my own family dogs when I was a child, to bringing up Joshua over the last 14 years and now Cindy. I've also sat a large number of dogs over the last few years through Rover as well and received consistently positive feedback. Joshua was a very happy, 14 year-old Pugalier who I'd had from being a puppy, so I have a lot of experience with dogs of all ages. I also have experience of administering regular oral medication to Joshua over a number of years. I absolutely love spending time with all dogs and would love to help other local owners with their boarding or walking needs. I have most weekends completely free to allow me to devote my time to caring for your pets, and you can be reassured that they will be showered with attention so they are comfortable and happy while they are away from you.

This is the 2nd time I have left Ollie with Alex, Kieran and Cindy. I am very comfortable leaving Ollie with Alex. Ollie settles in well and obviously gets lots of care and attention. Cindy is a beautiful girl and very playful but gave Ollie his space when he didn't want to play so that was perfect! Alex provided plenty of photos and excellent communication throughout Oliie's stay. I would definitely recommend Alex (and Kieran) and will be in touch again when I next plan to go away. Lovely couple! x

Thank you so much for taking such amazing care of Roxy! Roxy will definitely be back, sat on your lap and just loving life! And due to a blown out tyre, we had to change the pick up time, which Alex was very understanding and accommodating. Thanks :) xx

Alex was amazing! We felt that Rio was really well looked after and treated like part of the family. We were updated as regularly as we requested and Rio looked like he had a LOT of fun with the beautiful Cindy too. Will 100% be booking again. Thank you!

Could not recommend Alex enough. This was the first time we have left Luna with someone other than a close family member so i was slightly nervous. We did a meet a greet a few weeks before which put us at ease. Alex, his partner and dog Cindy were were warm and approachable. Luna instantly felt at ease with them both. They both have a gift with dogs. During our weekend away, Alex regularly gave updates, sent us pictures and seeing how much Luna was enjoying herself was amazing to see. We will definitely be using Alex again. And we could not recommend him enough. Thank you Alex!! 🙌

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a secure safe dog friendly environment and I have an outdoor completely fenced garden where dogs have plenty of room to run around and play. I also live near to the Worsley Loop which is a perfect walk to take the dogs I'm looking after on. I will also happily provide photo updates as frequently as an owner would like to receive these while they are away.

Pets

A typical day

Got a spacious garden to play with the dogs in and is ideal to play with a ball and have a run around. I live near to the Worsley Loop which is a perfect walk to take the dogs I'm looking after on. I work from home so am almost always at home to shower each dog I'm looking after with plenty of attention.
