I’m flexible daily as I do not work so really does depend on what your needs are in terms of your pet requirements. Guaranteed they will get all the love. Please note Day Care in your home is charged at the Doggy Day Care rate (not overnight rate) and usually is a period of 8 hours, with walks being an additional extra charged at the 30 minute drop in rate (even if walk is an hour or longer).

Alison really is a Super Sitter. Great with Poppy and genuinely affectionate to her. She kept in contact, but not overly, during our holiday and sent us reassuring updates of her and Poppy’s walks. House was well cared for and left spotless for our return. We have no hesitation in thoroughly recommending Alison.

Once again Ali was such a great sitter for our senior dog who is definitely showing signs of age. Happily Ali took everything in her stride leaving us to enjoy a relaxing and rare evening out. Thank you so much Ali thomas clearly loves you.

Alison came to look after our Labrador Poppy and she was throughly spoilt with walks, treats and cuddles. The house was clean and tidy on our return and Alison left us a lovely card. We, (& Poppy) are looking forward to Alison returning in December/January to house sit Poppy. I can recommend Alison, a lovely lady who is fantastic with our princess and looked after her well. Thank you so much x
