Hi, I’m Alice. I’m a big animal-lover, and grew up in the Shropshire countryside with dogs and lots of other pets. I worked at a dog-groomers and did my school work experience at my local vet clinic as a teenager.

With the help of my sidekick, Freddie the Springador, I’ve been professionally providing dog-care for seven years (through Rover, since it was Dog-Buddy before Rover took it over). Joined Pawshake in Sept 2024.

We love having the company, and having other dogs over encourages us to try out new walking/running routes. 

Freddie has helped lots of dogs to be less anxious and improve their recall. I have helped Freddie’s friends to break habits like jumping up with consistent training. My daughter (five, in full-time school) has helped Freddie’s friends to be great with kids. 

Dogs coming here get plenty of play if they’re playful, cuddles if they’re cuddly. They can just chill and have some time not being fussed but being around someone if that’s more their personality. Or, a combination, if they’re the kind of dog that likes some attention but also likes their alone time. 

Freddie and his friends have access to our fenced-in garden all day, unless it’s especially wet or cold (and then it’s regularly opened/opened when cues are given). 

My downstairs in separated by a door. There’s nothing particularly precious/chewable kept downstairs, my child’s toys are kept upstairs or in high up toy baskets, so, puppies are welcome! We enjoy training them and watching them grow, as they become a part of our pack.

I'm currently doing a Ofqual-accredited Combined Level 3, 4 and 5 Diploma in 'Canine Care and Behavioural Management', so that I'll be qualified to offer behavioural assessments and training sessions.
