Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog loving theatre worker
It’s a tad cliche but I am truly a crazy dog woman who prefers them to humans. It’s my life mission to meet as many furry angels as possible! I get the joy of meeting many dogs who come to hang out while their parents are doing a show and would love to also meet your fur baby! ✨🫧✨ My love for dogs came from my childhood dog Rosie who lived until the big old age of 16 and a half. She grew with me as I went through high school, college, uni and my dream career in theatre. With Rosie’s age came a few medical conditions that have given me the skills to care for elderly/sick dogs. Giving them oral medication and monitoring their overall health. Recently, my family and I adopted our first Romanian Rescue pup called Ringo. He’s a bundle of energy, requiring two walks a day and hours of attention/enrichment. Quite the contrast to our old girl Rosie! But a great way for me to learn how to train a younger dog and also how to tire out a dog with endless energy. ✨🫧✨ I am Halesowen based and without a car at the moment but I am happy to fund my own travel where it is fitting. Any questions, please message!

Ratings and reviews
Alexandra has just looked after our Frenchie for 3 days, and we couldn’t recommend her enough! Super easy to book and communicate with, and clearly adores dogs! She kept our house super tidy (not that we needed her to!) and was vigilant with the instructions that we gave her, which we really appreciated. She also left Amber the cutest report card for when we returned - we will definitely book with Alexandra again, and you should too!
Went above and beyond to make sure P was looked after during our wedding day. Amazing to deal with from start to finish
Alexandra looked after my 2 dogs recently. My dogs were extremely happy to be left in her care. Alexandra was very caring and clearly an animal lover who relates well with them. I wouldn’t hesitate to both use her services again and highly recommend to others. Thank you.
I’m thrilled to have found Alexandra who was perfect for what we were looking for. Came home to a very happy dog, and if he could talk, he’d be asking me to book another stay immediately! Highly recommend Alexandra (although don’t want her to get too busy as I’m really hoping she’ll be available regularly for future house sits when I’m away!!)
Alex is great! Our dog Sunny absolutely adores her and they had the best day together. Alex kept us updated on Sunny through the day. We both felt at ease she was in good, caring hands. The report card was a really lovely touch and we'll definitely book in again :)
I cannot thank Alexandra enough for taking care of my dog Bronson. I went away for Easter weekend and could completely switch off knowing he was in the best hands. She kept me updated and sent the cutest photos, I could tell bronson was at ease with her. When I returned, my house was spotless and Alexandra even left a little dog report card and a chocolate bunny for both myself and my son. I will definitely be asking Alexandra to help again, thank you so so much xxxxx

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
After working in professional theatre for ten years I have travelled around the country/world and I have stayed in a lot of homes for my digs with no complaints. I am very respectful in someone else’s home and I am very vigilant when it comes to making sure a space is safe for a pet as my own dog will find anything that isn’t nailed down for him to play with. I will always ask for a Meet and Greet if it’s possible, just so I can meet you and your dog before you commit to having me care for your pet. I understand just how much our dogs mean to us and want you to feel as comfortable as possible with me caring for them and your home if you choose a sitting service. (If it’s needed, I can also bring my dog Ringo with me to see if our dogs are compatible for boarding)
Pets
A typical day
Depending on your dogs needs, I will always base my day around them. If a dog needs two walks a day or none at all, that is fine with me! I am happy to throw a ball until the early hours as long as it means they are happy. I have many enrichment toys and games for my own dog so I am more than happy to do the same for yours! Think of it like your dogs fun aunt is coming to stay!!
