“Alice has a great affinity with dogs. She absolutely loves dogs (she grew up with a dog who sadly died about a year ago) and is very responsible as a dog walker and takes great care of them. She also researches dog care and so knows what is safe food, good behaviour, and is very aware of the social aspects of dogs. She encourages dogs to be social but with correct awareness of when a dog is nervous, jumpy, potentially aggressive, and so on. I know that Alice is a highly responsible and loving pet caregiver so has my full endorsement.”

19. Katie S.
About: I am a fully qualified veterinary nurse and I enjoy looking after and walking dogs in my spare time. All dogs will be looked after in a home environment with someone in the house all day. We are situated off the main road near a public footpath which is a great place for walks, we also have a fenced garden for the dogs to run around in. I am able to care for dogs with specific medical and dietary requirements. I have experience coping with reactive and difficult dogs and am able to provide a routine specific to their individual needs. Dogs can be looked after in a home environment with or without other dogs. Im currently working part time so i look after the dogs when i am not working which gives me lots of time for walking. I list my availability on the calendar so you can see before booking. I have a fenced garden and field walks nearby which gives me lots of options for exercising i also like to take the dogs out in the car for walks further away if they are happy to travel.


20. Georgia E.
About: I have always had animals in my life, having my first responsibility for animal care at the age of 9 when I was lucky enough to loan a pony, this gave me a fundamental understanding of the love and care animals need and I have continued my love for providing happy and fulfilling lives for pets since then. I have lived in the same small village since the age of 10 where I now help my elderly neighbours with the weekly dog walking when they need me. I have owned and cared for my pets through each stage of their life, meeting their additional care needs through the later stages of their life providing them with the most comfortable experience possible. I am currently working part time and studying on a Tuesday so I have lots of time to play and fuss over your pets. I am available for boarding on the weekends. I am to prioritise your pets usual daily routine to provide them with the most comfortable experience with me. I will keep your pets company, providing lots of attention whilst keeping up their required exercise.
