Pet care experience
Caring Pet Sitter You Can Trust
I’ve spent over 30 years caring for dogs and cats of all sizes and personalities. Originally from the UK, I bring a calm, reliable, and attentive approach to pet care. I currently have a dog and a cat at home who are best friends, so I’m very comfortable managing multiple pets together in a peaceful environment. Friends and family often call me an “animal whisperer” because I quickly build trust with animals and help them feel safe and relaxed.

Safety, trust & environment
I provide in-home pet care to ensure your pets remain comfortable, secure, and settled in their familiar environment and routine. I approach every home with the utmost respect and professionalism, carefully following all instructions regarding feeding, walks, medication, and daily care. With extensive experience caring for animals of all sizes and temperaments, I bring a calm, attentive presence that helps pets feel safe and at ease. I take time to understand each pet’s personality so I can provide care that is tailored, consistent, and reassuring. Safety is always a top priority. I pay close attention to doors, gates, routines, and any specific guidelines you provide. I also keep you updated regularly with clear communication and photos, so you always feel confident and informed while you’re away.
Ratings and reviews
Ali has an incredible natural connection with animals and years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. He’s patient, attentive, and genuinely understands animal behavior, which makes pets feel comfortable and safe around him almost immediately. Beyond walking and pet sitting, he also has experience with training and reinforcing positive behaviors, so he’s great at maintaining routines and helping pets stay calm, engaged, and well cared for. He’s reliable, trustworthy, and the type of person who treats every animal like his own. I would confidently trust him with any pet, whether it’s an energetic puppy, a senior dog needing extra care, or a shy cat that takes time to warm up.

Schedule
My schedule is flexible, which allows me to dedicate plenty of time to pet care throughout the week. I’m generally available for drop-ins, walks, and daytime visits on weekdays, with more flexibility on weekends and for longer stays or boarding. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine to keep things consistent and stress-free, and I can adjust my availability with notice when needed.
