Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced. Compassionate. Dog-Mum
I grew up on a small farm in Northern Ontario, and I have been caring for and genuinely enjoying spending time with animals for as long as I can remember! I have shared my life with dogs since I was a baby. I had a horse throughout my teen years, and aside from my best girl, Shanti (5.5-year-old Labrador), my most recent animal care was for our geriatric donkey, Eeyore, whilst staying with my family in Canada. In my downtime, I learn a lot about dog behaviour through books and experts online. I know that our pets are our best friends and family members; I will treat yours with utmost respect and kindness - guaranteed!

Safety, trust & environment
I will work with you for bespoke animal care. My Labrador/best friend, Shanti, is excellent around other dogs. Together, owners and I will discuss and decide if our dogs are compatible to socialise together on walks. I live with my retired partner, who is also an animal-lover but the care and responsibility for your pet will be in my trusted hands. While there is no garden here, regular walks to the beach and to Hove Park fill our days. Shanti and I also love longer walks in the countryside/in the woods which we reach by car. Your dog might love to join us! In your home, I will ensure your pet is comfortable and life remains "status quo". If I can welcome your dog to our place, we will discuss all factors to ensure this is what is best for them. On our end, we will ensure they feel right at home. Crating is an option if you think best. Rest assured, I have been caring for animals all my life and when your furry family member is with me, they will be happy, well-cared for and comfortable.
Ratings and reviews
Ally did a great job walking our senior pup! Lots of photos and updates

Ally has always been a trusted pet sitter for my animals, especially my beagle, who she would look after for extended periods while I was abroad. She provided those daily updates and photos that all “pawrents” love and we could spend time focusing on our vacation instead of our beagle, who suffered from anxiety and often required extra care. Total trust and confidence with Ally and it is clear that she adores the time with dogs, mine as well as her own.
Ally is a true animal lover! She has cared for a variety of animals from cats to dogs, rabbits to donkeys. She has a natural gift when it comes to animals. She is calm, gentle and patient with them. In particular, she spent a lot of time caring for and walking our dog, Lucy. She took her time and never rushed our old girl, no matter how slow she walked or how many times she wanted to stop along the way. Her compassion for Lucy’s needs is what sets her apart. Her professionalism, dedication, and genuine love for animals have given us complete peace of mind!

Schedule
I am currently providing pet care throughout the summer, whilst starting a new business (children's yoga in the park). I am on a sabbatical as an education specialist, and since I love spending time with animals, there is no better way than to spend my summer here in Brighton & Hove. I am open to day services, evenings and weekends. My availability is subject to a pre-booked camping trip and family commitments.
