Safety, trust & environment

When caring for your pet in your home, I aim to keep everything as close to their normal routine as possible so they feel relaxed and comfortable while you’re away. I always take the time to understand your pet’s habits, preferences and any instructions you’d like followed. During visits I make sure food, water and any other daily needs are taken care of, along with plenty of attention and interaction so your pet still gets company and stimulation. I’m always mindful and respectful of your home and make sure everything is left tidy and secure before I leave. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority, and I’ll keep you updated with messages and photos so you know how they’re getting on during each visit.

Information Alice Maria P. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviours that I can account for. If you're struggling with training or looking after a high needs pet, we can work together to make sure your pet has the best care.

A typical day

A typical day starts with checking in on the pets to make sure they’re happy, healthy and comfortable. Whether it's a morning walk, feeding or playtime, I tailor each visit to the pet’s needs. For dogs, I love going on sniffy walks, playing fetch or practicing a few fun tricks. For cats, I offer plenty of play with toys (like lasers or feathers!), brushing, or simply cuddling if they prefer a calm lap. Every visit ends with fresh water, treats if allowed and a little love before I go!

Experienced & Reliable Pet Care

Pet care experience

Hi, I'm Alice! I work in pet care full time and spend my days walking dogs and caring for pets across Belfast. Animals have always been a huge part of my life and I genuinely love getting to know each pet’s personality, routines, and little quirks. I have many years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, and over 20 years of experience caring for cats. My work involves daily dog walks, drop in visits, feeding, litter care, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable and relaxed while their owners are away. I am currently studying the Canine Training Instructor Course with the Professional Association of Canine Trainers (PACT) and working towards Animal Training Instructor (ATI) accreditation. This course focuses on canine behaviour, communication and science based positive training methods. It helps me better understand how dogs think, how they communicate, and how to keep them feeling safe and confident during walks and visits. A typical walk or visit with me includes plenty of time for sniffing and exploring, positive interaction, and careful attention to your pet’s comfort and safety. I also send regular updates and photos so you can see how your pet is getting on while you’re away. I’m comfortable caring for: • puppies • senior dogs • energetic breeds • nervous or shy pets • multi pet households • cats and small animals I understand that trusting someone with your pet is a big decision, so I always take the time to learn their routine and make sure they feel safe, exercised and well cared for. I’m always happy to arrange a meet and greet before bookings so you and your pet can feel completely comfortable. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members!
