Dog lover with 15 years 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.

Ratings and reviews
Alex was a first class boarder for my little dog Bertie. It was the first time I had left Bertie with anyone other than my daughter, so I was a bit worried how he would be. But to my relief, as soon as Alex said hello to him, he was wagging his tail and licking Alex and wanting to play . I think Alex must speak dog! Bertie also loved the two children who also were great with him. They had a lovely big garden backing on to fields , making it ideal for lovely walks. The whole family were absolutely brilliant and obviously really adore dogs. I would highly recommend Alex and wouldn’t hesitate to take Bertie back again.
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
Lovely family with a welcoming home. Took great care of our 2 fur babies this weekend, the dogs settled in well as received lots of loves & cuddles! Would highly recommend & will definitely use their service again.
Amazing!!!! Thanks sooo much!
Great booking experience and an early compatibility meeting. Our dog settled immediately and came home happy and energised. Thanks for taking such great care of her. Steve

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a large fenced garden and plenty of green space around for nice long walks. We ensure all dogs are walked on the lead. We provide a very safe and caring environment for all of our guests
A typical day
We are up early each morning (two kids does that to you). So we are up and out first thing for a nice long walk, home for breakfast and a we leave the dogs to relax and recover, most days we would visit the park at lunch for another good walk then back home for a relac or play in the garden. The last walk of the day is of a evening before the dogs go to bed. This can be tailored to suit our guests needs
