Pet care experience

Reliable, loving care.

Dogs I have over 20 years experience caring for our family’s dogs (three Labradors and a Cockapoo), and have also been walking and taking care of client’s dogs for years now. I’ve looked after a range of different breeds large and small, and am happy to travel anywhere on the island of Alameda and the surrounding areas. I will show up to walk your dog with two responsible and engaged 10-year-olds; your pup will get to play and have fun! The kids already have extensive professional dog walking experience. I have dog training experience with basic commands and have also cared for senior dogs in the past. Cats Growing up, our family always had at least one cat (and usually two or three!). I was lucky enough to get my very own cat at age 16, and she went on to have two litters of kittens which was an incredible experience. As an adult, I adopted a beautiful two-year-old tabby called Casper, who was the most loving, sweet and chilled out guy you could ever hope to meet and brought our family so much joy before he sadly passed away two years ago. When I am doing drop-in visits for your cat while you’re away, I will tailor my care to your cat’s activity level and personality. I know that there’s a wide range when it comes to whether a cat loves cuddles, wants to play or would prefer to sit quietly - in which case I can just provide a reassuring presence so they know they aren’t alone. Originally from the UK, we have been calling the Bay Area home for 6 years now and we can’t wait to meet your dog or cat and get to know them. It’s a huge privilege to be entrusted with the responsibility of looking after your much-loved pet, and I will care for them like they were my own.

Safety, trust & environment

I take the trust placed in me when you leave your pet in my care extremely seriously. I understand that your pet is part of your family and always strive to provide responsible and affectionate care. When visiting your pet at your home I can provide whatever your particular animal needs - the basics like food and bathroom breaks are a given but I will also tailor my care to your pet’s individual needs. Whether they prefer lots of play, cuddles or simply reassuring companionship, just let me know.

Alice was great with our two kitties! She was patient and really gave both of them the attention they needed. She is an excellent and prompt communicator - she informed us what she did on her visit and shared us lovely photos of our cats. Would definitely recommend to anyone and will book with again! Thank you Alice!

Alice continues to be the very best! I trust her wholly with our kitty, Oreo, and our home. She always leaves detailed reports, and goes out of her way to make sure everything is in order and kitty is comfortable/content. Thank you, Alice!

I will be bringing my two children on walks so your dog should be comfortable and happy to be around kids. They are very gentle and kind 10-year-olds who love animals and are always happy to play.
