Availability
i am currently a student studying animal behavior at university, this means my schedule is quite open, having a full day of lectures on a Tuesday and 2-3 hours on Monday and Thursday. I can essentially learn online and do all of my work from a kitchen table which is perfect for looking after pets.

Safety, trust & environment
I'm afraid I cannot offer boarding as I live in student accommodation and I wouldn't like to put any dog in a potentially stressful environment! When I'm sitting at the house I will never leave the house for longer than your animal is happy with which we can talk about, as I don't have many other responsibilities I will not have any unexpected reasons to leave. I often spend my days at a kitchen table on a sofa with a dog bed next to me, this way you'll pet can feel that they can come as close or stay as far away as they like! I love a good cuddle but will respect personal space if they prefer. Often first morning/day I try to keep myself "small" so that your animal can investigate me in their home properly this often looks as if I'm ignoring your pet as I want them to feel at ease to investigate me as much as they want and get comfortable with me without me forcing myself into their space. I never, ever mingle any animals be them dogs, cats or hamsters(!) that have not previously met for safety reasons.

Information Alice c. would like to know about your pet
i am happy and able to handle special needs in your pet, just let me know when you book what special considerations your dog needs and i can accommodate, i have a very flexible routine so im easily able to tailor my day around any preferences
A typical day
Many the pets that I sit have their own daily routine which I follow I'll ask you as an owner what you do in a typical day and I'll try to mirror it to make sure their walks, feeding etc is at the same time it always is. Animals really thrive on routine and I really noticed that when they're feeling insecure because their owners have gone away; keeping their routine intact can make them feel much more secure. If a routine is not already in place I usually feed once around 8 to 9:00 a.m. and once at around 5pm and do a walk for about an hour or two depending on your dogs independent needs

Pet care experience
I am currently a University student so am able to be very flexible, can accept sits as soon as 12 hours before and cancellations the same, very happy to work with any and all routines and have experience with disabled, anxious and “difficult” animals and am more than happy to work around whatever makes them comfortable. I have always loved animals and have been surrounded buy them from a young age. we had dogs, cats, rabbits, fish, tortoises and a hedgehog! i have been working and studying with animals for about 8/9 years now and am currently studying Clinical Animal Behavior and Training at University. I honestly love doing rover work while studying as not only does it mean I have a lovely quiet place to study but going out on walks means I get out and about in study breaks which is so important for productivity and mental health. I am currently open for the summer bookings from June to September I will be operating mainly in the south west as I will be based in Andover in Hampshire though could travel further for a long stay.

Reviews
Alice was fabulous, very friendly & went above and beyond to make Alf and Skade comfortable and relaxed. She even played with the guinea and put him out in the garden for a bit! Would 100% use Alice again
Absolutely delighted with Alice, our pet sitter! Our dog enjoyed long, happy walks and our cats were clearly well cared for and content. The house was left immaculate and communication was excellent throughout – prompt, friendly, and reassuring. I highly recommend and would definitely use her services again!
Alice was great, looked after our black lab puppy for the day! Kept us updated, while we were at work, would definitely use again!
Alice is a fantastic sitter, willing to spend time to get to know the dogs until they’re comfortable. Can’t thank her enough
