Your pets will be cared for as if they are my own
Pet care experience
Dogs have been in my life since I was 7 years old, when I was given a Jack Russell puppy for my birthday. He was the start of my interest in and love for dogs of all shapes and sizes. Throughout my adult life, dogs have consistently been by my side. I have mainly had rescue dogs, but also have experience of puppies. In the past, I owned a Jack Russell/Chihuahua/Yorkie cross who was quite a handful! I currently have 2 rescued retired greyhounds, who me and my family adore. I am a conscientious dog owner and look after and care for other peoples' dogs as though they are my own. I am aware that all dogs are different and each one has their own special way. Over the years, I have looked after pets belonging to friends and family. I have enjoyed looking after friends cats, even though I haven't owned one personally. I have, in the past, owned a rabbit and am happy looking after smaller furry pets. I have had experience of administering medication to most of my dogs, including my 2 greyhounds. I am fully aware of the importance of medication being given in the right dose and at the right time. I have a certificate in First Aid for Dogs. I have a genuine love of all creatures great and small.

Alison was available at short notice to walk my two girls (staffy and miniature schnauzer and was absolutely fab with them. Thank you!
I am so happy to of found Alison! She is she so good with harry and she updates me every time she visits with photos and videos! I feel so at ease knowing that Harry will have someone visiting him at lunch time! Thank you! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Alison was amazing with our Floki. She gave us regular pupdates on what they were doing through the day would definitely recommend her looking after your pup
Ali was great with my puppy Moxie and knew exactly how to communicate with me as well. Will book her again
About Alison H.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I will look after your dog (or other pets) as well as I would look after my own. I am very aware of the responsibilities of being a pet owner. I will discuss all your requirements with you and ensure that I treat your pets and home with respect. I will make sure that any requests you make are carried out correctly. Whether I am walking your dog or feeding your pet rabbit, I will always ensure that their safety is paramount and that they feel cared for and content.
Information Alison H. would like to know about your pet
I will always meet up with you before looking after your cat or dog, so that I can ensure I am giving you the best service I can offer. We'll discuss things your cat or dog likes or doesn't like, any preferences they may have, how they feel about a stranger coming into their home, how your dog reacts with other dogs, what they are like on their lead etc.. and anything else that is important to them or to you.
A typical day
I am happy to take your dog for a long walk or a slow stroll, whichever you would prefer. Whether your dog prefers to walk slowly and sniff everything or wants to go on a long, fast walk, I will make sure that they enjoy their time with me. Your dog will feel happy and cared for and will be treated in the same kind way that I would treat my own dogs. I will only ever walk your dog(s) on their own, rather than mixing them with my own or dogs from other families. I'll even take my own dog poo bags! I will be happy to just spend time with your cat or dog in the house or garden, if that is what you would prefer. We can play whatever games your dog may like, or I can just spend time petting and making your cat or dog feel cared for. I can be flexible on each visit, if required (ie; play games rather than go for a walk on a rainy day). I'll always be guided by you, on what you would like me to do to make your pet happy. I can feed your pet or administer medication, if required. I'll always ensure they have fresh drinking water available, when I leave. If your cat or dog has had an accident in your home, when I arrive, I am happy to clean this up.

Availability
I have worked in schools and adult care services for most of my working life. At the end of 2023 I decided to follow my dream, 'seize the day' and work in the world of dogs (and other animals).
