Experienced and Flexible Dog Sitter in Greenwich

Pet care experience

I've taken care of dogs since I was young. I've had the most experience with beagles and rescue sighthounds, but having looked after over thirty+ different dogs through Rover since 2013, I've gained experience of a number of breeds, some with behavioural issues around other dogs. Living in a small flat, I now prefer to offer dog sitting in your home. I am trustworthy and considerate, with experience of doing this before and can provide references if need be. I am also available for last-minute daycare requests but would prefer small dogs due to the limited space. I live a 10-minute walk from Greenwich Park, which is great fun for walkies! I'm able to work 2-3 days from home and can be flexible with this on a week-by-week basis, making dog sitting in your home easier, e.g. for long weekends. I am allowed to take dogs into the office, but your dog would need to be well trained and comfortable around other dogs, otherwise, unless your dog has access to outside space, I wouldn't be able to facilitate full weekday dog sitting. I enjoy dog training, so I'm happy to practice any commands you're working on if it's something you'd like. Thanks for your interest, Alex Code for new customers: ALEXWH246068 I work 9:30 - 5:30, with some flexibility and get full 1 hour lunches for nice long walks. I can also work from home 2-3 days a week, so can work from your home in certain circumstances. I’m super respectful of owners homes, ensuring I leave things as I find them. Fine with security cameras. My first priority is making sure the dog is comfortable and happy. For example, for dogs with separation anxiety, I will always try my best to reassure and comfort them as best I can. I will also make time for play and training to ensure some mental stimulation. Above all else, lots of love and cuddles.

Alex has dog-sat Shaun (the dog) a number of times and we wouldn’t hesitate to rebook! Alex is always clear and communicative - we feel confident leaving Shaun with him ☺️
