I love dogs!
Pet care experience
I have many dogs in my life, all of whom I have a special bond with and they all bring something different to my days and to my life. I’m equally drawn to anxious, shy, nervous or withdrawn dogs as I am with bouncy, energetic, boisterous and confident dogs. I love to create a bond with each dog and get to know their unique personality, behaviours and what makes them wag! I’m a calm and quiet dog person who let’s each dog approach me at their own pace and in their own way, whether that’s a slow process or an instant one, I’m happy to be with them and I respond to their needs. I really appreciate how special and valuable dogs are to their owners and treat them with the utmost care. Being with dogs brings me so much joy and really benefits my mental health and I’d love to meet yours!
Reviews
Alex is a great dog sitter - Margot loves her. She took her for a massive walk and sent regular pictures and updates which was lovely. Communication was excellent. Would highly recommend!
Alex is wonderful. Very good communication before and during her time for Margot. She took such good care of my little pup and it was nice to get regular picture updates of them together. Completely trusted Alex in my house etc can’t wait to use her again ! x
Edie had a lovely time with Alex! She is so calm and patient - just what Edie needs. Thanks so much Alex, Edie can’t wait to see you again! x
Alex is my 2 year old lurcher Mabel’s best friend. Alex has a very special and natural way with dogs, and takes incredible care of them. Mabel always comes home happy and tired after a walk with Alex. Mabel can be a bit nervous around other humans and get spooked by loud noises so I don’t trust many people with her in the park, but I know Mabel is in good care with Alex. At home Alex also keeps her calm and happy and will always play with her when Mabel needs entertaining but keeps her well behaved with treat training and clear boundaries. I have left Mabel with Alex for weeks at a time when I’ve been on holiday and would trust her with any dog! She’s a wonderful human too, kind, trustworthy, generous, warm, funny and honest.

I have a fenced garden and my house has been puppy-proofed and is a safe place for dogs, with lots of space for them and lots of toys!

Information Alex L. would like to know about your pet
I'd like to do a meet and greet before confirming a booking so we can see if we’re a good match. When I meet them and you, I'd like to gather as much info as possible from you. I’d like to know their background and behaviour style and whether they are anxious and need patience, a bit of distance and a lot of care before they feel safe with a new person. Or whether they need a strong hold on the lead if they’re energetic and particularly interested in picnics in the park! I’d like to know what they like to play and their energy levels, so I can best cater the walk and activity and day/stay to their needs. I’d like to get a sense of how they are with new people and in new places, whether they’re a home dog or if they’re used to being out and about. I like to know how they are with other dogs, and if there's anything I should be aware of or look out for when out and about with them. I also encourage you to ask as many questions as you like of me and get a sense of who I am too!
A typical day
I would cater the day and our activities to each dogs individual needs and get as much information as possible from you in advance to make this happen. I love to take dogs on long walks in Hackney Marshes, Victoria Park or wherever they are most familiar and comfortable. I love to ensure they are really tired and happy after a walk because my greatest pleasure is the most walk snuggle and chill on the sofa!
