Hi, I’m Alessa, I’m a fourth year veterinary medicine student and I love spending time both with dogs and cats and have lots of experience in taking care of them.

My German Shepherd Alfie is at my parents' house and can be reactive to other dogs, so I have a lot of experience controlling large dogs on walks. I love spending time with dogs and taking them on walks as I miss my dog when I'm away at university and so would love to be able to take care of any dogs myself, giving them cuddles, walks or playing any games!

I have two cats, and so no longer offer dog-sitting at my house but will travel to do house visits!

I've grown up with many different pets my whole life, from rabbits, degus, hamsters, fish, turtles, frogs, cats, lizards, bugs, and snakes. I also have experience with ferrets, from having one of my own. I also currently have two cats and have a lot of experience with them also through my course.

I’ve worked at a dog boarding kennels for three years on and off and so am used to many different breeds and temperaments of dog - both walking, giving medication and playing with. I’m usually available on weekdays in the daytime and at weekends. (I usually have non-compulsory lectures 1-4). I live in Guildford and I own a car so will be able to pick animals up and drive certain lengths of distance.

I am passionate about both mental and physical stimulation for all dog breeds.
