About Alice S.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
We have a back courtyard which is fully secured with high walls and a high wooden gate with no gaps. So dogs can freely go outside for a toilet break, with no risk of escape. We have the denes very close by, which is the perfect place to walk dogs! Dogs can roam around the house freely, ideally they would sleep on their own bed…but I totally understand if they like to be on the big bed! Dogs are always allowed on the sofa for snuggles!
Home
Information Alice S. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if there’s any behaviours I need to look out for. Tell me their favourite game to play, their cues for tasks, how often they eat and how far you’d normally walk them and if they’re allowed off the lead! Are they good with other dogs? Also, where do they like to sleep?
A typical day
We will go to the local park area - plenty of green space for a run around (if they’re allowed off the lead)! We may also go into town and get a coffee and a puppy-cino, whether permitting!

Loving second home for furry friends
Pet care experience
I’ve had experience with my family dog growing up, my own dog (no longer with us) and have also looked after dogs for friends and family. Our household is an animal-loving one - all animals included! We have a pet Guinea pig, Ron, who is the most pampered piggie. He is safe from dogs, in a crate of his own in the lounge (indoor piggie). He can be relocated if dogs find him distracting. My partner will be around quite a lot, he has had multiple dogs in his adult life and still regularly walks his daughters lurchers. My son is 10 and has always been a huge dog-lover. He’s been brought up to be respectful of all animals and to not get in their space. He’s very grown up for his age and will always be careful with animals.
Reviews
Alice and her family were lovely and welcoming when we took Bronson round to meet them. She clearly loves dogs and wanted to know as much about his routine as possible so she could keep it the same. Bronson came home happy and tired. I would not hesitate to leave Bronson with Alicecagain and I would recommend her to anyone. Thanks Alice
Alice was amazing with last minute help- she asked all the questions to ensure she’d offer the best care and Ted enjoyed him time with the family. Thanks so much again!
Highly recommend. And I felt more than happy to leave our boy in Alice’s hands. Don’t think my dog actually wanted to come home lol. He had a fabulous time and I was given lots of updates. Such a kind family and will 100% be booking again in the future :-)
We can’t speak highly enough of Alice and how much she cared for Frankie while he was staying with her. We will be coming back as finding someone who loves your dog just as much as you means the world. We were kept up to date throughout and Frankie was taken care of so well.
