If your dog is house trained I can care for them at my home however I can also care for your loved pets in their own home and am able to collect from their home and take them for walks or drop in to feed and play with them for a few hours where needed. I am also able to stay overnight if required.
Information Alexandra B. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog is reactive or has special accommodations needed. I have experience with reactive dogs and whilst our green is popular we can walk them in the evenings alone if needed
A typical day
I live in a super friendly neighborhood we have an enclosed green out the front of our home which is great for social dogs and is frequently used by us and others exactly for this!

Pet care experience
Both my partner and I have owned and cared for dogs and cats since we were kids. Always dog sit for family and friends. Go for frequent walks in the countryside and have our own vehicle to transport dogs to and from walks with business insurance. I bathe and feed my mother’s dogs regularly and walk them with my partner around the fields of our home.
Reviews
Alex and Steve were excellent carers to my 2 little shih tzus. I have never left my fur babies with anyone but family. Alex was very understanding and kept me fully up to date with pup dates. Sending me photographs of their day. My house was left immaculate, and all my instructions followed to the letter. I cannot praise Alex and Steve enough for putting my mind at rest and taking care of Hugo and Isla. On top of that, they looked after our fish and even took care of the garden, which we really appreciated. Overall, incredibly reliable, caring, and thorough we wouldn’t hesitate to book them again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter.
Ally and Steven looked after our rescue dog Koda for a long weekend whilst we were away. This was the first time that we have left him and it was an amazing experience. Koda loved them both and within a few hours of us leaving he was having cuddles on the sofa. They really looked after him and left the house spotless and their communication whilst we were away was perfect and enabled us to relax and join our holiday knowing Koda was being looked after really well. Will definitely be rebooking with them. Thank you so much for making our first trip away such a success.
Cats were well looked after and made a fuss of. As expected Alex did a grand job for which I was well pleased.
Ally and Stephen looked after our Huskies and our home from 12-28 December 2025. Our dogs are a bit complicated with their needs, feeding requirements and walking, but Ally and Stephen coped very well with them. We did two meet and greet and practice walks which was very valuable. There were no hiccups or issues, and they alerted us to any concerns they had immediately when one of the dogs developed some stiffness and a minor slight limp. They were communicative and updated us daily about the walks as they happened as well as ad hoc updates and photos. I would encourage more general updates but that’s only because we are not used to leaving the dogs and frequent updates helps with peace of mind. We gave them loads of briefing and information videos about the house, kitchen and general information, and a comprehensive briefing document and feeding requirements, which they said helped them a lot. When we returned, our home was neat and tidy and in order, which was much appreciated after a long trip. The dogs were well cared for, fed, walked, and cuddled, and it’s clear that they had developed a good bond with our Huskies who can have some complicated needs and trust issues when it comes to strangers. Ally and Stephen seemed to have found a way in and the dogs trusted them by the time we got home. We can highly recommend Ally and Stephen. We would welcome them back into our home to care for our dogs and home again in a heart beat. They are both loved and cared for our dogs and home as if it was their own.
