Alyssia has looked after my 3 year old working cocker spaniel, Stan, on a number of occasions. Being a cocker spaniel Stan has a lot of energy, requiring a lot of attention and lengthy walks. Due to Stan’s boundless energy and tendency to run quite far on walks, there are few people I would trust with him but I do trust Alyssia. She has always been able to meet the needs of Stan, taking him out and allowing him to charge around off lead whilst also being responsible and judging when it is appropriate for him to be back on his lead. Alyssia always strikes the balance of giving Stan the attention he needs whilst knowing when to give him the space and time to calm down. Something which is essential with working cocker spaniels. Stan is always happy and excited to see Alyssia, bringing his toys to greet her. I would recommend Alyssia to friends and family going forward. She is friendly, trustworthy and reliable and has allowed me to navigate my hybrid working pattern.
