Dog lover with 10 years Exp - fully insured

Pet care experience

Hi, My name is Alex and I am a genuine dog lover. With a very heavy heart, we had to say goodbye to our family pet (Shar Pei) of ten years recently so I thought it was time to use my experience and skills to board and walk other people's dogs. I have experience with a large number of breeds and have the ability to always build up a very good rapport with dogs. I am experienced in training dogs in basic commands and behaviour's. I have two young children at home that are also very confident around dogs and know the dog's boundaries. We will only be willing to consider boarding dogs from family homes. In all cases, we would like to meet a dog/owner before taking on any boarding / walking responsibilities so that all parties are comfortable with our house and each other. We are fully insured to carry out dog boarding at our home : full details on request

Alex and family looked after our Toby very well and nothing was too much trouble. I think he had a lovely time there. Obviously dog lovers. I would thoroughly recommend Alex and will be using again.

Alex was great. He looked after Chino ( who can be a handful) very well whiles we were away for over a week. At no point during our holiday we had to worry that our pups is not in good hands. Great engagement and attention to the dogs. Would highly recommend
