Calm, compassionate, and a wealth of experience.

Pet care experience

Animals are amazing! They are often the best of teachers; showing us how to love unconditionally. We can learn so much when we spend time with them and look after their individual needs. I’ve had animals in my family since I was a boy. From cats and dogs, to snakes and chipmunks. I also volunteered for the National Animal Welfare Trust for many years, gaining valuable knowledge of animal behavioural challenges and solutions, especially regarding dogs. I am currently looking to study to become a qualified dog behaviour instructor.

Alistair has looked after our 4 legged friends a few times now and we’ve been super happy with his services. He’s a natural with dogs and our two just adore him. He has a very calm and confident manner and nothing is too much trouble for him. I trust him wholeheartedly and would defo recommend him 😊

I am thrilled to have found Alistair and I have already recommended him to my family and friends. I trust him completely to ensure my dog is safe, cared for, and happy while I am away, and knowing that Alistair has a great deal of experience looking after animals really puts my mind at ease. He is professional and always replies quickly in a friendly manner. Thank you Alistair!

A typical day

Good Day Pet Parents! Rise and shine, it's a paws-itively wonderful day ahead! As your dedicated pet sitter and dog walker, I'm ready to embark on another tail-wagging adventure with your furry family members. Morning Stroll: The day kicks off with a refreshing morning walk, soaking in the crisp air and greeting the day with boundless energy. Every paw-step is a chance for your pup to explore, sniff, and, of course, leave their mark on the world! Feeding Time: Breakfast is served! Whether your fur baby is a gourmet connoisseur or has a special diet, rest assured they'll enjoy a delicious meal tailored just for them. Bon appétit, little ones! Playtime Galore: What's a day without play? From squeaky toys to frisbee throws, we'll engage in play sessions that match your pet's preferences. It's all about tail-chasing fun and belly rubs! Midday Siesta: After all the excitement, a little nap is in order. Your fur baby will have a cozy spot to relax and recharge for the afternoon adventures. Sweet dreams, little pals! Afternoon Explorations: As the day unfolds, we'll venture into new territories during our afternoon walkies. New scents, new sights, and plenty of tail-wagging moments await our curious companions. Treat Time: Because good behavior deserves rewards! Tasty treats are on the menu for those moments of obedience and pure cuteness. A little indulgence never hurt anyone! Evening Cuddles: As the sun sets, we wind down with some quality cuddle time. Whether it's a cozy corner, a plush bed, or a sunny spot by the window, your pets will be surrounded by warmth and love. Bedtime Routine: A final check-in, a little bedtime snack, and perhaps a bedtime story (if they're into that sort of thing). We'll ensure your pets are tucked in for a restful night's sleep. Photo Updates: Throughout the day, expect a flurry of adorable photo updates. It's not just about sharing moments with your pets but also making sure you're part of their day, no matter where you are. Happy Pet Guarantee: Your pet's happiness is my priority. From sunrise to sunset, rest assured they're in caring and capable paws. Ready for another day of tail-wagging fun tomorrow!
