Lucky Paws & Happy Tails! 🐾💚

Pet care experience

Hey there! I'm Alex, your neighbourhood pet care aficionado with a lifelong passion for our four-legged friends. From the pitter-patter of paws to the gentle purring of contented kitties, my love for pets has been a constant since my earliest days. I grew up with 2 Rough Collies and surrounded by many more pets of all breeds and sizes. 🐶 My furry companion is a lovable Labrador Retriever named Lucky, who's not just a pet but a cherished family member. Our journey together has been one of joy, learning, and the creation of a strong bond that extends to all the animals I have the privilege of caring for. 🐾 Services Offered: 🚶‍♂️ Dog Walking: Because every dog deserves a daily adventure! 🏠 Doggy Day Care: A home away from home, where tails wag and friendships blossom. 🏡 House Visits: Providing comfort and companionship for your pets in the safety of their own space. 🛁 Pet Baths: Pampering sessions for a squeaky-clean and happy fur baby. 💊 Medicine Administration: Ensuring your pet's health is a top priority. 🍽️ Pet Feeding: Because a well-fed pet is a happy pet! 🎓 Basic Dog Training: Positive reinforcement techniques to nurture good behaviour and strengthen the bond between you and your canine companion. 🚕 Pick ups & drop offs: To save you time & hassle! My Dog is a testament to the power of positive reinforcement and effective training, making him not just a delight to be around but also a great companion for other dogs. His friendly manner ensures a harmonious environment, making new furry friends feel right at home. He is generally friendly with the majority of dogs, but he can be a bit wary when other big male dogs attempt to dominate him. I'm experienced in managing these situations. 🌟 Why Choose My Services? ✨ Years of experience as a dedicated pet owner. 🧡 Genuine love and understanding of each pet's unique needs. 🚀 Professionalism and reliability to ensure your peace of mind. 🤲 Tailored care plans to accommodate individual preferences and requirements. Living and breathing pet care isn't just a job for me; it's a way of life. Your pets are not just clients; they become part of my extended furry family. If you're seeking a caring, responsible, and passionate pet caregiver, look no further! Let's create a happy and healthy experience for your beloved pets together. 🐾✨

Alex was amazing! She was able to look after my dog Jeff on short notice and went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable. She sent regular updates and pictures and I could tell he was in great hands.

Alex was amazing with polka. She took the time to listen to me explain her quirks and was super flexible when it came to arranging meet and greets beforehand. She kept me updated throughout the weekend and polka evidently had the best time. 100% would recommend her ☺️

Shiloh had the best time with Alexandra, I bet she felt like a part of the family. Alexandra was very attentive to her needs, and sent me a detailed report with photos every day. She’s very friendly, hospitable and trustworthy. I’ll definitely use her service again!

Safety, trust & environment

I have 2 fenced gardens, one at the front and one at the back, which is very private. Your furry companion can play, do their business there if they wish to or just sit in the sun. In the summer there is a doggy paddling pool for cooling down and playing. Inside the house, there are multiple dog beds, all fur friends are also allowed on the sofa to relax if they wish. I have an open space kitchen and living room with a gate in the middle if needed for you dog to be separated for any reason. Plenty of toys to play with, there is a park right on my doorstep and I am also based 5 mins away from National Trust - Morden Hall Park, which is super convenient for nice walks. I can accommodate most needs, just ask. 😊 I would always do an initial meet & greet, introductions are just as important for your beloved pets as they are for us.

Information Alexandra A. would like to know about your pet

Please do always let me know if your dog has any behavioural issues, problems with other dogs, any fears, allergies, preferences and dislikes. Also good to know: * Areas they do not like to be touched. * If you are ok with me giving them treats. * What they do like - types of games, exercise needs etc. * Any training you are doing with them that you’d like me to continue and reward. * Commands they know and the exact words they respond to. * Whether they have good recall and if you want them to be walked on or off lead where possible and safe to do so. For doggy daycare, I would do a meet and greet with my dog to ensure they get on well, they can also be separated if necessary. I’d mostly walk them individually unless they are very alike in terms of similar levels of exercise needs and play etc.

A typical day

Providing your dog with a well-rounded and enjoyable day involves a mix of physical exercise, mental stimulation, and social interaction. Engaging in some indoor or outdoor playtime with toys like balls, squeaky toys, sniff matt or tug-of-war. Nice, long walks, playdates if your dog enjoys those and also plenty of comfy spots for some quiet time for rest and relaxation; and of course plenty of belly rubs and cuddles!
