Pets are my passion. I have dedicated my life to understanding dogs (and their people) and want to pass on this knowledge to help already fabulous owners.

I started assisting busy dog parents with solo dog walking in 2023 and I cannot thank all my clients enough for all their continued business and support. I adore working 1 to 1 with clients, hearing their story’s and supporting in whatever way I can.

In 2021 I graduated from the University of Winchester with a First-Class Honours Degree in Animal Welfare and Society. I studied compassionate subjects such as human-animal interactions and animal behaviour.

I am obsessed with personal growth and I will never stop learning how to best help dog owners and pups. Which is why most recently I have completed a dog training qualification.

Client Testimonials

  • A black and white dog standing on grass outdoors, looking at the camera.

    "Alice was the first dog walker I have used and after our first meet she made me feel like my Sassy would be safe in ber hands. Whilst I was away, Alice updated me thoroughly on how Sassy was doing and the walks they were going on. This was a really excellent service and I would recommend ... thank you very much for your fine work!"

    "Cannot recommend Alice enough. The care, thoughtfulness and joy she brings to her work is 2nd to none. 'Alice' has become one of our dogs new favourite words along with beach, walkies and dinner. She adapts her visits to whatever suits B best on the day and sends very detailed lovely reports and pictures. Your dog is safe in Alice's hands and will love every minute until she has to leave. B gives her 5 woofs out of 5."

  • Black dog with a purple harness, on a red leash, standing on green grass near a concrete wall and fenced area.

    "Alice is the best! She has been so patient and loving with my dog. He doesn’t always like walking with new people and Alice worked tirelessly with him, building up a relationship and bonding with him... I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my dog, I have full confidence and peace of mind when Alice is taking my dog out as I know she will always put his needs first and conducts herself with utmost professionalism at all times. She also always sends pictures and updates after a walk in lots of detail, so I always know exactly how it went! Thank you Alice for everything you do 🥰"

From the start, Alice was so lovely and Bobby took to her instantly, he waits by the door for her and loves his walks. She takes amazing care of him and I am so pleased to have have her taking him out. I can absolutely recommend the Company, without reservation."
