In the last year and half I have looked after 2 Dogue de Bordeaux x Mastiffs and a frequently walked a Fox red Labrador.

About: I have always had a great conection with animals, having grown up with a labrador and a cocker spaniel. Since my mum adopted a beautiful and playful dachshund, I realised I would love to spend more time with animals but my living situation makes ownership impossible at the moment, so I would love to come make life easier for you while allowing me to meet new people and animals! Advanced DBS checked ✅ I work shifts in NHS psychology. Each week, I can dedicate time specifically to pet care. I prioritise morning and evening walks, and I can structure my day around making sure pets feel comfortable and loved while their families are away. Whether it’s mid-day check-ins, exercise, or quiet time together, I make sure your furry friend is my top priority. Safety and trust are my top priorities. I always keep an eye on pets during playtime and walks to ensure they’re protected from potential hazards. I use your chosen leashes, collars and harnesses for walks and avoid risky areas. Your pet will receive all the love, care, and attention they deserve, whether in your home or out and about.

About: I've had dogs for over 20 years now, they are a big part of my life. That's why you can be certain your pooches are well looked after during their stay....they will be treated like part of my family, with a comfy, home from home experience! I can also help with basic training if you would like, while Im caring for your dog. I have completed a dog first aid course, and have a recent DBS as I have a health care background. I am also fully insured for dogs both in and out of the house. If you have any dates in mind at all please ask and i will let you know! When im looking after your dog is will alter my schedule so that I am around to take care of them. If your dog is at at my house, they will have the run of my downstairs and garden access on a regular basis... They will have a safe corner to chill with their own bed, they can even snuggle on the sofa (if thats okay with you!) Your dog will have at least 2 walks a day, in a variety of locations near me. I will provide toys and games too, to keep them busy.

About: I have years of experience in pet sitting, having cared for animals both in my family home and for friends on many occasions. I grew up surrounded by animals – both in the city and while spending time with family in the countryside – so caring for pets has always been a natural part of my life. I treat every dog and cat as an individual, because I truly believe each animal has its own unique personality. Walks with dogs are more than just a routine for me – they’re a great way to unwind from physical work or studying, and I make sure every walk ends with a happy, satisfied pup ready to relax. Your pet will be in good, caring hands with me – always treated with attention, patience, and a lot of love. In my routine, pets always come first – they usually get breakfast before I do! The day starts best with a full bowl and a good walk together. After that, it’s time for play and burning off some energy. Every animal needs a bit of fun and attention, and I’m always happy to provide both. I make sure feeding times are on schedule and strictly follow the owner’s instructions. Walks are done at a pace that suits the dog – whether it’s a power stroll or a sniff-around adventure. And when the dog’s had enough running and fetching, we can always chill out together and watch Lassie Come Home – emotional support goes both ways, after all. I am not offering boarding for full time but can give them chance to rest in my garden etc because I am just renting room in sharehouse.

About: I grew up with dogs my whole life. I take this job seriously. I can also train dogs but the simple tasks using treats for this I’m currently a university student. But my timetable is very flexible. I can do also weekends which are more suitable and more free for me. I love going on walks throughout the city and if i had company by a dog that would be really good. The safety of your dogs is my number one priority and i would never risk or do anything that can harm you or your dog.

About: I have a cocker spaniel named Winnie who I’ve raised since he was a puppy in February 2023. He’s taught me so much about patience, routines, and the unconditional love dogs give. Looking after him every day has shown me just how much joy and comfort dogs bring to our lives. I know how important it is to find someone you can trust with your pet, and I treat every dog like they’re part of the family - with kindness, care, and lots of love. Whether it’s a gentle walk or some company while you’re away, I’m here to help your pup feel happy and safe. I work from home full-time, which gives me a lot of flexibility to fit pet care around my schedule. I plan my day so I can step out for walks or drop-in visits during mornings, lunch breaks, or afternoons - depending on what suits you and your dog best. Weekends are usually free too, so I’m available for longer walks or extra visits if needed. Having my own dog has made pet care a natural and rewarding part of my routine - it’s something I truly enjoy and make time for every day. I currently offer dog walking and drop-in visits, and I care for each dog as if they were my own. For walks, I tailor the pace and route to suit your dog’s needs — whether it’s a relaxed sniffy walk or something more active. I make sure they feel safe, stimulated, and enjoy their time out, always using secure leads and paying attention to their body language. During drop-in visits, I can help with feeding, playtime, toilet breaks, or just keeping them company. I understand that every dog has their own routine, and I do my best to follow yours closely to help them feel at ease. Whether I’m out walking or popping by for a visit, I make sure to send updates so you always know your dog is happy and well cared for.

“I can say with upmost confidence, Aleksandra is probably one of the best sitters on here. we booked super last minute and we didn’t get much time to talk about the specifics of the care for our cats as they can be a handful at times and require things to be done a certain way. Despite this she was just a natural around my shy cat, she was very professional and I trusted her completely to drop in and to make sure our cats were happy and healthy. I can tell she really cares and has a passion for working with animals. We will always book with Aleksandra indefinitely until she is either busy or stops pet sitting. Thank you Aleksandra 🫶”

I have walked many dogs in public and non public spaces, so I am confident walking your dog on lead.

She has home-sat for our 2 DDB/Rotty crosses and they love her so much that they didn't want her to leave!

Toni C.
“Toni became quite the hero for me and my small family when we decided to go on holiday. Angus, my dog, is my best friend, my inspiration and my closest thing to a son. safe to say i was reluctant to leave him with anyone. this included family and friends. Toni, took that uncertainty away. She not only convinced me, through her loving, approachable and super friendly manor to let him stay with her, but also showed me that you can go away when you have pets, after finding the perfect dog sitter for him. Toni kept us updated with pictures, messages and phone calls which i thoroughly enjoyed seeing. Angus was just as happy with Toni as he would have been at home with us, so i can only thank her for that. But the true testament of how good she is is the attitude and the love that Angus showed her. i am convinced if he was ever to leave home, i would know exactly where to find him, tucked up with Toni and her wonderful family. I run a dog charity and i have had years and years of experience dealing with dogs, and their people, and i can honestly say people like Toni are few and far between.”

Chanel R.
“I have two dogs, a 2 year old miniature cockapoo (Mila) and a 5 year old XL American Bully (Tryla). They have both stayed with Chanel on multiple occasions whilst I’ve been on holiday and they both adore her! My cockapoo can be incredibly nervous around new people but Chanel made her feel so at ease and at home within such a short time. She’s now super excited to see Chanel, even for dog walks she gets super excited when she hears ‘are we going walkies with Chanel?’ Tryla, my bigger dog, can be boisterous at times but Chanel is very calm and confident with her on the lead and has helped me improve her recall so much in the years that I’ve been working with her. Cannot recommend her services enough!”
