Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable, animal-loving sitter :)
I've been caring for dogs of every kind since I was little — neighbours, friends and family have long relied on me to feed, walk and check in on their pets. I'm reliable and communicative: I stick to feeding and exercise routines exactly as instructed, and I send daily photo and message updates so you always know your pet is happy and settled. Comfortable with high-energy dogs, nervous rescues and older pets who need a calmer pace. Whether it's a drop-in visit, a walk or an overnight stay, your pet's routine and comfort come first.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a securely fenced garden and three friendly, well-socialised dogs of my own. I'm comfortable crating if that's part of your dog's routine, but only ever if you're happy with it. I keep a close eye on pets at all times, never leave them unattended in unfamiliar surroundings, and dog-proof the areas they have access to. In an owner's home, I stick closely to your instructions and treat your house and your pet with the same care I'd give my own.
Ratings and reviews
Alfie was terrific. He stepped in at less than 24 hours notice fir a week’s stay looking after our two dogs when a longstanding arrangement fell through. He was responsive from the first communication and throughout our time away sent regular updates and pics of the dogs, who clearly were devoted to him. It was reassuring to have the dogs and house in such cheery hands, and hope to book him again.
Alfie looked after both my cat and my dog for 5 days this summer and did an amazing job. My 19-year-old cat has some special needs, and he cared for her with great attention and kindness. My dog enjoyed plenty of walks, playtime, and affection throughout. Alfie kept in touch giving regular updates and sending photos. I would happily trust Alfie with my pets again and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, caring pet sitter.
Alfie did a fab job looking after our 3 dogs and house whilst we were away for a couple of days. Returned to a clean a tidy house and happy dogs. I was given regular updates and he followed the instructions as required.
I’m delighted to recommend Alfie as a pet and house sitter. Alfie is a genuinely kind, honest and trustworthy person with a real love for animals. He is incredibly gentle and caring with dogs, and they always seem to feel comfortable around him. I would have complete confidence in leaving both my home and my pets in his care. He is responsible, attentive and always willing to take dogs out for walks, play with them and make sure they receive plenty of love and attention. Alfie is also very reliable when it comes to their daily routine. He takes great care to feed them on time and, if medication is needed, he makes sure it is given exactly as instructed. I have no hesitation in recommending Alfie to anyone looking for a dependable, caring and responsible house and pet sitter. I’m confident he will look after both your home and your pets as if they were his own.

Schedule
I work fully remote, so I'll have plenty of time to play with your dogs! I'm available for boarding at weekends and on weekdays after 2pm, with flexibility for drop-ins and walks earlier in the day when arranged in advance. Because my schedule is open, I can give your pet proper attention and stick to their normal routine — regular feeds, walks and plenty of company, rather than squeezing them around a 9-to-5. I'll always confirm timings with you before a booking so you know exactly what your pet's day looks like.
