Highlights
Pet care experience
Fun, caring and reliable pet sitter!
Hello! I grew up in a home full of animals and have always shared a deep love for pets. Over the years, my family has cared for a variety of furry and scaly friends — including our beloved dog who lived a happy 13 years, three rabbits (not at the same time, each living up to 8 years), my dad’s cat, turtles, and fish. We now have a cheeky and sweet Maltipoo named Tofu, who is 1.5 years old. He’s friendly, well-socialised, and loves having other dogs around to play with. We waited a long time to find the right pup for our family, and he’s truly brought us so much joy. Before welcoming Tofu, I often looked after friends’ and colleagues’ dogs while they were away — from long weekends to 3-week holidays. I really enjoy being around dogs and caring for them like they’re part of the family. We’re a household of three: my mum (retired and always home), my partner, and myself. Both my partner and I work from home with flexible hours, so your pet will get plenty of attention throughout the day. We live near a large park and playground where many dogs gather and socialise regularly. Whether your dog prefers playtime with Tofu or some peaceful solo cuddles, we’ll do everything we can to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. Looking forward to meeting your furry friend!

Ratings and reviews
Thank you for looking after Luna! She had all the attention she needed, and it was lovely to see her and Tofu getting along. Highly recommended
It was not the first time my dog stayed with Alice, and it went great! Alice is very attentive, and sends regular updates with photos :)
Alice did an amazing job looking after Basil and would definitely book again!
Alice was lovely and very communicative. She was able to accommodate Cumin last minute for us and sent loads of updates throughout - we felt at ease knowing Cumin was safe and happy :) Will definitely book again!
Another happy stay for Kiki. Thank you Alice for taking care of her and for your flexibility.
Luna had so much fun that she didn't want to leave Alice's house, and I couldn't have had better feedback from her staying. Alice also provided all the photos and updates. Many thanks to Alice and Tofu for taking care of her. Looking forward to the next time.

Schedule
Pet care is a natural part of our daily routine. I am the main carer and I am currently on leave until November. My partner and I work from home with flexible schedules, and my retired mum is also at home. This means your dog will always have company, regular walks, playtime, and lots of cuddles throughout the day. Tofu, our Maltipoo, also enjoys a consistent daily routine, so adding a new furry friend fits right in!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
We have a fully fenced garden and home security measures in place to ensure a safe environment. I always take time to understand each pet’s needs and preferences. I’m happy to handle vet visits, grooming appointments, and light hygiene care like baths if preferred by the owner. Your pet will be treated like part of the family with lots of love, patience, and attention to detail.
Pets
A typical day
We start the day with a calm morning walk and some sniffing adventures. Throughout the day, we mix in playtime with enrichment toys, games with Tofu, and cuddle breaks. In the afternoon, we often visit the big park nearby where local dogs socialise. If your dog enjoys it, we’ll also work on basic tricks or mental stimulation games indoors. Lots of love, fun, and positive attention guaranteed!
