Highlights
Pet care experience
Caring dog lover, outside space
Having grown up with dogs, caring for them comes naturally to me. I regularly look after a friend’s Staffy for anywhere between 2–5 days at a time — he loves staying with us as much as we love having him (he even stands barking at our front door to be let in faster!). I’ve also cared for a Maltese-Yorkie mix who needed to stay on-lead during walks, so I’m very happy adapting to different dogs’ needs, routines, and temperaments. We’ve also looked after an older Cockapoo who needed shorter, less frequent walks, so I understand the importance of adjusting care depending on a dog’s age and energy levels. I work from home 3 days a week and am generally available from Thursday mornings through to Monday evenings, meaning your dog will have plenty of company and attention throughout the day. My partner has also grown up with and loves dogs and helps out on weekends, so your dog will have lots of care, affection and company while staying with us. My flat also has a large private terrace — big enough for games of fetch — with secure surrounding walls so dogs can safely enjoy some outdoor time whenever they like. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos. I am comfortable with both active and calm dogs. Dogs can go on the furniture with no issues.

Ratings and reviews
Ally was super friendly and accommodating with Cleo and Milly. Both pooches instantly connected with her. Ally gave me updates and sent pictures the whole day and was also very flexible. Thanks so much, Cleo and Milly both look forward to spending time with you again☺️
Maanik had an amazing time with Ally! She is so caring and patient and will really listen and help with any specific needs for your dog. She was kind and welcoming and our dog warmed up to her very quickly! Will definitely book with Ally again. :)
Ally has looked after our little staffy more times than I can even remember and I can honestly say hand on heart, I don't trust anyone else as much as I trust her. Pickle is 2.5 years old and has a lot of energy but when he's with Ally (and her partner, Brad) he trusts them so much that he can fully relax. We left Pickle for a whole week with Ally last summer and I didn't worry about him for one second. She is kind, she absolutely adores all dogs & she goes out of her way to let you know your doggo is in safe hands. I'd highly recommend Ally to anyone!!
Ally has looked after our boy Billy numerous times and he’s always so happy and excited to go round. He gets lots of love and attention as well as walkies but all with his ability and welfare considered. We wouldn’t think twice leaving him in Ally’s care ❤️
Ally looks after our 2 year old staffordshire bull terrier from time to time and she is absolutely great with him! He loves popping round to theirs, the terrace is great for him to get fresh air and lots of green space nearby so we know he is getting his exercise. We trust Ally to look after him for multiple nights in a row and we have confidence that she is taking the best care of him 😊❤️

Schedule
I work from home 3 days a week, so dogs will have plenty of company, attention and toilet breaks throughout the day. I’m generally available from Thursday mornings through to Monday evenings and can adapt walks and routines depending on your dog’s needs, whether they’re energetic or prefer a slower pace.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I want every dog to feel comfortable, safe and relaxed in my home. My flat has a large private terrace with secure surrounding walls, so dogs can safely get fresh air and outdoor time whenever they like. I always follow owners’ routines and instructions carefully, including feeding, walks, lead requirements and any special care needs. I’m happy to send regular updates and photos so you can feel reassured while your dog is with me. For dog walking or drop-in visits, I’m also available to visit pets in their own home during lunch breaks and evenings on weekdays. I can also be flexible with timings at weekends to fit around your schedule and your dog’s usual routine.
