Hi, I’m Alex! Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember. Over the years I’ve cared for cats, dogs, chinchillas, tortoises, rats and fish, and I have a lizard of my own back home in Oslo. I now live in Ulverston with my two cats, who are harness-trained and come out on regular walks with me. I love researching how best to care for each animal, so I can give your pets the same attention I give my own. I’ve always loved the company of dogs, and I really miss having them around, so I’d be delighted to take yours out! What I offer: Dog walking (30–60 minutes): I’m happy to walk dogs of all breeds and sizes, and I adapt the pace, distance and amount of play to suit your dog, whether they’re an energetic explorer or prefer a gentle stroll. I can walk more than one dog at a time if they live in the same household. £10 for a 30min walk, and £15 for 60min. Each additional dog is £5 extra. Pop-in visits (30 minutes): if you’re away, I can come by to feed your pets, refresh their water and check that they’re happy and comfortable. I’m also happy to clean litter trays, spend time playing with your pet, and send you photo updates. I can also water your plants and collect your mail! A 30min pop-in visit is £10, two 30min visits in one day is £15. I don’t offer boarding for pets, so for cats, dogs and other animals, all care takes place in your home or out on walks. If you also need help with grooming, training or administering oral medication, I can do that too! I’m based in Ulverston, just a short walk from Ford Park and the Hoad, which are perfect for walks. My schedule is flexible, and I’m available on any day and at any time; mornings, afternoons or evenings. I’m also able to look after any type of pet, not just cats and dogs. I’d love to hear about your pets!
