About Alex

Hey! I recently moved to Wellington and enjoy exploring this beautiful cities parks and beaches and would love some company! I am available all day Wednesdays and Thursdays for dog walking, and home visits :)

I am very experienced with all breeds, personalities and dogs energy levels. I am also very confident in pet sitting in other peoples homes as I did so as a part of my job while I was in London. Before living in London I was a social dog day care manager, dog handler and dog groomer, where I became confident in assessing dogs behaviour as well as with other dogs, dog health, nutrition and hygiene. In addition my family have always owned dogs including fostering rescue dogs, and training guide dogs for the blind.

I probably understand dogs more than I do people! As well as dogs I am also very experienced with other animals such as cats birds and reptiles, and have studied for 4 years learning about their behaviour, health and welfare at university.

I am very caring and honest, and responsible, and I will treat your loved one as if they were my own.

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me

Alex :)

Alex was awesome. She has started her own dog walking business and it was obvious that she doesn’t just like animals - she has a genuine understanding of their behaviour. I’d happily have her back to look after my brood again.

It was great to meet Alex and see how she interacted so well with Scout. She clearly has skills with dogs, including our full noise puppy, and it was lovely to get a text after the walks so I knew how it all went. I'd recommend Alex and will be sure to use her services again.
