Dog-lover, works from home!
Pet care experience
I've grown up with all breeds of dogs from springers to Shiba Inus. My first job as a teenager was walking my neighbour's dogs. I currently have my own 3 year old springer fur-baby who is dog-friendly. With having a springer, I have worked trainers and behaviourists so am clued up on training and behavioural issues. I have also fostered for a spaniel charity so have experience with reactive and anxious dogs.
Reviews
Matild had another great day with Alicia. Lots of fun and learning. She was a very tired pup.
Matilda had another great day. Lots of fun and games. Matilda is kept engaged and given lots of activities to keep her busy. She was thoroughly worn out.
This was Albus' second time with Alicia and he always comes back happy and very sleepy! Alicia is very understanding and accommodating, and I'd recommend her to anyone that wants their dog looked after properly in a safe environment!
Matilda had a great day with Alicia. She came back happy and healthy and in high spirits. She slept really well that night so had clearly been having a lot of fun and engagement. The photos taken of Matilda throughout the day by Alicia were brilliant and a lovely touch. I would highly recomme d Alicia and will definitely be leaving Matilda with her again.

A typical day
As I have springer, I know lots of fun games from scent work (which we call "find it" in our house) where we hide treats around the house for dogs to sniff out, I have a range of games/toys for mental stimulation. I also live near to lots of parks/trails to go on walks/runs with dogs depending on physical capabilities.
