About Alex

I am an animal lover based in West Auckland and love nothing more than getting outside!

We have our own 3 year cocker spaniel called Whinnie who is great with other dogs and loves to swim, find sticks and is obsessed with the ball. She is fully vaccinated and desexed.

I am available for dog boarding, we live a quiet life and are often available throughout the week and weekends.

Our house is perfect for pups, with a fully fenced garden and wooden floors. The outside area is mostly grassed with plenty of space for the pups to play.

Happy to provide check ins throughout the day to suit your preferences with dogs being left for a maximum of 4 hours. We both have very flexible jobs and can work from home or drop in when required.

Pups are allowed on the furniture including bed but not to sleep on the bed at night, although our doggo has been know to jump on in the morning for a cuddle. However if they are not your rules we will happily stick to your dogs routine.

Your furbaby will be in great hands and well loved in our company. They will be walked to your requirements and any dietary needs or special medications can be easily accommodated. I have plenty of experience in administrating medications (if required) in a calm and kind way to keep pup calm and avoid stress.

Having trained two of my own dogs I focus on positive reinforcement training, I am happy to follow any commands you may have for your pup and help teach them any basics or tricks.

There will be a board maximum of 1 dogs per night to make sure they all get enough attention and it's not too hectic, unless you have 2 or more in your tribe which will be reviewed case by case.

Dogs staying must be fully house trained and be comfortable being left on their own without being destructive, for a maximum of 5 hours.

Walks are a minimum of 30 minutes once or twice daily -we have a great off leash area around the woodland just across the street with a great swimming spot which is our pup absolute favourite walk.

I'd love to arrange a meet up to ensure we are the right fit, so don't hesitate to contact me.

Thank you for looking after Poppy, knowing she was being well looked after meant I could enjoy my time away guilt free :)

Honey, our 1 year old pup stayed with Alex for almost 2 weeks. With so much love and great care, she kept us updated with daily photos and how Honey was and what they got up to. A genuinely loving couple and their fur baby Whinnie welcomed our Honey just like family. I cannot recommend Alex enough. Thank you again for taking care of our sweet girl and making our first time away from home and Honey a stress free experience. We will always be so grateful!

Familiar with dog training techniques
Our family dog at home was not good with other dogs, I have experience in keeping reactive dogs calm and supported, making sure they are safe and knowing how to deal with situations if they feel threatened. We have had our current pup whinnie , since she was 8 weeks old, I am confident in positive reinforcement training and have had great outcomes from this form of training with her.
