Pet care experience
Passionate about dogs & trustworthy
I have always been a huge dog lover ever since I was a small girl growing up with our lovely German Shepard Henry. My love for dogs never went away and so my small dog walking business as a teenager was created. I took local neighbours and friends dogs from all shapes and sizes for walks after school and weekends, this is where my hobby really grew. Since then I have had the pleasure of having Siberian Huskies as family pets and then as I grew older I was looking after friends/ families pets and more recently since moving to Horsham, we welcomed our beautiful boy Murphy to the family, who is mine and my husbands pride and joy. We have often found ourselves looking after our friends and neighbourhood dogs, as myself and my husband Dan both work from home and have the time and capacity to make it more of a commitment and truly live out our passion for looking after dogs.

Ratings and reviews
We were so pleased with the care Trigger received during his stay with Alisha and Dan. He had an absolutely lovely time, especially playing with their dog Murphy, which was great to hear! Alisha and Dan were fantastic sitters—friendly, reliable, and clearly very caring. They kept us regularly updated with plenty of feedback, which really put our minds at ease while we were away. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for trustworthy and attentive dog sitters. Trigger came home happy and relaxed, which says it all!
Emer was so very well looked after by Alisha, Ben and Murphy, and was very happy staying with them. We will definitely be asking them to have Emer again! Thoroughly recommend!
Alisha has been fantastic with our two energetic Vizslas. She’s reliable, caring, and clearly experienced with high energy dogs. They absolutely adore their walks with her and always come back happy, well exercised, and settled. It’s such a relief knowing they’re in safe and capable hands. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy dog walker.
Our usual dog sitter has moved away too far so found Alisha on here. So glad we found her! Luna and Murphy have got on soo well. She’s very playful and full on and Murphy is so chilled and accepts her. Alisha was so good when meeting Luna and Luna instantly liked her. She can be a bit funny with men but also instantly liked Alisha’s husband, Dan. Really appreciated Alisha doing a meet and greet and having Luna for a free daycare to ensure Luna was comfortable. She’s also helped to work on Luna’s recall and heel walking. Would definitely recommend Alisha and will use her as our sitter now!
Alisha looked after our female 3 year American bulldog Ena. Ena can pull on the lead sometimes but Alisha was able to gently correct this behaviour on their walks and Ena has been much better since. Alisha is great with Ena and other dogs I’ve seen in her company. Friendly, approachable and professional. Highly recommend.
I can’t recommend Alisha highly enough! I was extremely nervous about leaving my two King Charles Spaniels with anyone for the first time, as they mean the absolute world to me. From the very first meeting, though, Alisha completely put my mind at ease. Her knowledge, calm approach, and genuine love for dogs were obvious straight away, and my two warmed to her instantly. She took the time to understand their personalities, routines, and little quirks, which made such a difference. It’s clear she doesn’t just “walk dogs” — she truly cares for them as individuals. I felt so reassured knowing they were in such capable and kind hands. Throughout, she was professional, reliable, and thoughtful, and it gave me real peace of mind. I could actually relax knowing they were happy, safe, and being so well looked after. I will absolutely continue to use Alisha and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, knowledgeable, and genuinely caring. She’s been amazing!

Schedule
As we both work from home, we have plenty of time to spend with your dogs throughout the day. Like our dog who is rarely left on his own as we don’t want him to miss out on anything, they will be treated like the family and come on any walk or adventure we go! We have an open house policy, so we hope they will feel a home away from home and find a comfy quiet corner to feel safe, whether that be in our office, bedroom or on a sofa or comfy dog bed. We have many spots to choose from! I currently have Sundays blocked out, this is to dedicate time to my own family & dog, however if you are interested in a certain date or have a holiday which goes over a weekend, please feel free to message me beforehand to check and I could potentially make myself available!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a large enclosed garden where your fur baby can run around and play with our friendly dog Murphy. They can join us on our daily walks, unless they have different needs and require a slower pace, where we can play in the garden and do some enrichment with them, whatever your dog requirements are, we will make sure they are comfortable and taken care of in the best possible way. As Murphy is a happy and playful boy, I am very in tune with dogs body language and signs, so will know when your dog needs some quiet time. Whether that means they would like more cuddles on the sofa which of course I would be happy to oblige or give them some quiet alone time as/when required or needed.

A typical day
I love to make sure your dog is well taken care of for their individual needs. My Day usually looks like taking my own dog for a walk early morning, some mental stimulation like scent work or extra fun training, so if there is something you feel your dog could help from extra work, I would be happy to add this into their daily enrichment. We would then have a longer walk during the day (season depending) as we approach into summer this will turn into extra fun play in the garden and maybe some water fun games to keep the dogs cool and comfortable. We have aircon in the house, so they will be able to cool down nicely after warmer walks or play. We will fit meal times around for whenever works best for your dog.
