Information Alison U. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about any special needs or behaviours I should be aware of. Ideally we will arrange a meeting before booking to make sure the dogs get along well.

A typical day

Walks and lots of play and fuss. On week days I'll be working from home but the dogs will have access to the garden and comfy spots to snooze. We walk a minimum of twice a day, the timing dependent on your drop-off/ collection times and your dogs needs. Longer walks at the weekends :)

Pets

Veterinary Nurse with a very friendly dog

Pet care experience

I'm a qualified Veterinary Nurse with 7 years experience working in veterinary practice. I now work in a different field (sadly!) but get to work from home. I have my own Australian Shepherd who is 2 years old, she is very good-natured and loves chilling and playing with new doggy friends.

Alison is a true gentlewoman who is kind, caring, and incredibly patient. She gained Luna's trust surprisingly quickly, which was especially reassuring as Luna is quite an anxious dog. It was clear that Alison genuinely cared about her wellbeing and made her feel safe and comfortable. I would highly recommend Alison to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate dog sitter, and I would be more than happy to use her services again in the future.

Pixie had a half day with Alison and Cece. We did a walk together first so they could properly meet and I could discuss Pixie's needs. Cece is so playful and friendly, both inside and outside of her home. Alison's communication throughout was great and I received updates and photos. She recognised when Pixie became a little unsettled and was able to comfort her. I recommend using Alison to care for your dog and look forward to using her again.

Alison was wonderful looking after Mabel. She showed genuine care and attention, and it was clear Mabel felt comfortable and well looked after.

Alison has been great with Szarak, he was initially anxious on the meet and great but on the day he relaxed straight away, thanks to Alison's calming presence and care. He made friends with Cece and they had a good time together. Alison is very attentive, she made sure Szarak is well look after and was sending me updates to reassure me that the day is going fine, so I didn't have to worry. We are looking forward to book again - thank you very much Alison!
