Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable & loving sitter & walker
As a trained dog groomer and dedicated pet owner, I bring a level of care and understanding that goes beyond basic pet sitting. I have hands-on experience with animal behavior, coat care, and overall wellbeing, allowing me to notice the little things that others might miss. Being both a dog and cat owner myself, I understand how important routine, comfort, and trust are for your pets. I treat every animal as if they were my own—providing attentive, patient, and personalised care to keep them happy, healthy, and stress-free while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment
I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment whether caring for pets in my home or in the owner’s home. I always follow the pet’s usual routine as closely as possible, including feeding times, walks, play, and any specific instructions to help them feel comfortable and secure. In a pet owner’s home, I make sure to respect their space while giving their pet plenty of attention, companionship, and care. I keep everything clean and organised, and I’m happy to provide updates for peace of mind. When caring for pets in my own home, I create a relaxed and pet-friendly environment where they can settle in comfortably. I supervise interactions, maintain routines, and ensure they get lots of attention, exercise, and affection. With my experience as a pet owner and training in dog grooming, I’m also attentive to grooming needs and overall wellbeing, always keeping an eye out for any changes in behaviour or health.
Ratings and reviews
Willow had another fabulous day with Alex and her family. She had a great day swimming and always comes back very happy. I would not hesitate to reccomend Alex she looks after willow like she is her own dog.
Willow had the best time with Alexandra. She came back very happy and Alexandra was so attentive to her needs and even looking after her grooming her. Willow loved playing with Oakley, and I would not hesitate to recommend her and her family.
Thank you so much for helping out. He looks so happy. Exactly the support i needed.
Alex has been really good with Gizmo (a puppy)—he took to her straight away. She’s very personable and was friendly and easy to talk to from the first meeting. She’s been really flexible, reliable, and quick to respond, even with me changing dates. I’ve felt completely comfortable leaving him with her. Would definitely recommend 👍
We’ve been using Alex for a while now, and she's been absolutely brilliant every step of the way. Not only has she taken our dogs out on regular walks, but she's also been incredibly flexible with drop-in visits when we’ve needed a quick check-in, feed, or some company for our pups. She is always punctual, dependable, and clearly has a genuine love for animals. Our dogs are so comfortable with her and are always happy and relaxed after both walks and visits. It gives us real peace of mind knowing someone so trustworthy is looking after them. Alex's communication is excellent, we always get updates, which we really appreciate. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a caring and reliable dog walker and sitter. Always 5-star service!
We’ve had such a fantastic experience Alex our walker and couldn’t recommend her more highly. She's walked our dog multiple times now, and every single time has been reliable, professional, and genuinely caring. It’s such a relief knowing our dog is in safe hands and getting the attention, exercise, and affection they need. Our dog absolutely adores her and gets so excited every time she arrives, which says it all! We’ve also really appreciated the regular updates and photos, which give us peace of mind. It’s not easy trusting someone with your pet, but they’ve completely exceeded our expectations. A truly wonderful service – 5 stars all the way!

Schedule
Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine, as I already care for my own pets every day. I plan my schedule to ensure I have plenty of time for feeding, walks, play, and companionship, and I’m flexible to meet each pet’s specific needs. Whether it’s early mornings, evenings, or weekends, I can reliably provide consistent care and attention. I prioritise keeping pets on their usual routine to help them feel comfortable and secure while their owners are away. I currently work 3 days a week a Thursday and the other 2 usually vary.
