Highlights
Pet care experience
Life is better with dogs
I've had dogs most of my life and they are a huge part of the family. I regularly look after friends and family's dogs which I love doing and I would never take work that could compromise the care I can give the dogs. My aim is to provide a great home from home experience. I hate the coldness of kennels and think dogs deserve a loving, warm environment which I would love to provide when you are unable too. I have volunteered with Dogs Trust and have been PVG certified through my Council work. I have a car large enough to comfortably accommodate them and a house full of toys! My garden is fully enclosed with lots of playing space and balls! My own dogs are 3,6 and 12 so I have experience of different ages and their needs. They are used to meeting and playing with other dogs and love making new friends. As I have my own dogs, I only ever take one dog at a time to make sure they all get the care and attention they deserve.

Ratings and reviews
I can not recommend Ali enough. She is absolutely brilliant and such a lovely person. She looked after Loki as if he was her own. I got daily updates which I loved so I could see how settled he was. I would highly recommend Ali and I am sure Loki cannot wait to come back and stay with her again 😁
So grateful to have found Ali! Her and her family took great care of our Labrador Sandy. I have never left Sandy with anyone outside of family and I was really nervous but Ali put me at ease immediately and sent regular updates & photos. Sandy had the best time with his new friends and I know he’ll be looking forward his next visit in a few months 🐾 ❤️
Our dog Dexter had a great week with Ali and their dogs. We got regular updates and excellent communication beforehand and during the stay. Will definitely book again 😁
Odin absolutely loves his time with Ali & family. As an owner it makes me so happy knowing how excited he is to be there and that Ali & family treat him as their own. Their home is so welcoming, great big garden for doggies to play and love the little updates provided to let us know he has settled.
Ali & Ronnie are fantastic pet sitters. Angus has had a fabulous holiday staying with their pack, lots of fantastic updates, so much activity to keep Angus happy. Home from home. We are so lucky to have found you guys! Thanks again 😊🐾
Ali took incredible care of our dog while we were away for a couple of nights. Ember loved playing with Ali’s three dogs and she came home very happy and very tired from all the fun she’d had. Ali kept us up to date with photos throughout. We will definitely book again!

Schedule
There is someone at home most of the time as the days I work, I am home on breaks regularly and my partner works from home. My dogs are never left for more than 2 hours and have constant access to our fully enclosed garden. The dogs welfare is my priority.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a big, fully enclosed garden as well as plenty of sofas for post walk rests! My dogs aren't crated but I have space for one if this is your preference I am lucky to live within walking distance of lots of big open spaces and a very short drive from even more where they can run, swim and paddle
Pets
A typical day
Sniffing is as important as exercise so I like to mix up my walks and go different places. I have lots of toys for at home and plenty balls for out and about. Post walks usually involve cleaning or drying, treats then snuggles on the sofa but I have plenty of dog beds too
