Petsitter Extraordinaire Anywhere in the UK/Abroad

Pet care experience

I have been pet sitting professionally for the last 5 years in the UK and in several different countries. I am a member of several pet sitting agencies but I have looked after various pets for over 15 years. I am fully DBS checked and have pet insurance. I am also certified in pet first aid. I have always worked remotely from a home office and I look after pets whilst working from a home office. This works out very well as I am always together with the pets and take them out for frequent breaks and walks. I stay in the pet owner’s home to look after pets in the comfort of their own home. I will care for a pet in the owner’s home so they are in familiar and safe surroundings. I will only ever leave a dog alone in his/her home for a maximum of 2 hours, if I have to go grocery shopping or run any errands. Otherwise, the dog is with me most of the time.

Alex looked after our two bengal cats and two mixed breed rescue dogs for 2 weeks. Our doggies absolutely loved her and Alex took them out in her car all over the place for new daily adventures, which they absolutely loved. Alex took them to the parks, beaches and National park and many other places for daily walks. They were both visibly depressed for a couple of days after she left and have missed her terribly. She brought them lots of nice treats and left a couple of bags for them after she left. The cats are outside a lot of the time as they are both hunters but I could see that she had looked after them very well. Alex left the house spotlessly clean and sheets and towels had been laundered. Thank you Alex for looking after all of our precious fur babies so very well and giving them all lots of love and adventures. We would not hesitate in recommending Alex to any other pet owners and we have already booked her again for next year.

Alex has just finished looking after our elderly black Labrador, Maisey and hens for a month. She did an excellent job looking after our old girl and taking her for nice slow walks every day, which she loves. Maisey absolutely loved having Alex around and Alex was very patient and loving to Maisey and spoilt her rotten! She looked after the house so very well and left it cleaner upon her departure than when we left the house. She had also done a spot of gardening and helped out with some chores and looked after the Hens very well. We would love for Alex to come and petsit / housesit for us again and we have already booked her again for next year. We would gladly recommend her for any other petsits. Lovely job Alex. We are very grateful to you.

This 2 week house and dog sit did not go as hoped or planned for despite 2 meet and greets and me leaving a comprehensive summary of my dogs' routine and the schedule they are used to. We have one outstanding issue to resolve and are working to sort that out between us and avoid me calling on the Rover.com guarantee. For the amount we paid to Rover - £1178 - I feel we were not Alex's priority more that we were fitted around her own schedule and commitments. In particular asking to be here at set times was disregarded from day 1. That caused me a huge amount of distress and I had to message repeatedly to check all was as expected. I received one photo of the dogs in 2 weeks. I never wanted to be bombarded but one glimpse of how they were was insufficient. Alex was flexible in moving the last day of the sit to a different slot as my plans changed but the timing issues were there again both of arrival and when the dogs needed to be walked and fed. This was my first experience of using a Rover approved house and dog sitter. I've learned alot.

Alex did a great job looking after our dog and house for 10 days. She was very competent and experienced and confidently took charge straightaway. She kept in touch while we were away, including some photos, so we could relax on our holiday. Our spaniel loved the long walks, trips and lots of attention so we came back to a very happy and healthy dog. It was a lovely bonus to find the house super tidy as well. Thank you, Alex.
