About Alice

About Me: As a passionate pet sitter with diverse experience, I'm excited to introduce myself as your potential pet sitter. I'm Alice, originally from Aotearoa New Zealand and now residing in Edinburgh. While my background is in graphic design and art, my love for animals has always been a central part of my life. Motivated by a desire to provide the best care and companionship to pets, I've volunteered at shelters, worked on farms, and cared for my own and others' pets.

Pet Sitting Services: My pet sitting services prioritise your furry friends' well-being and happiness. Here's a detailed look at what I offer:

• Dog Walking: I provide regular and engaging walks tailored to your dog's energy level and preferences, ensuring they get the exercise and stimulation they need.

• In-Home Visits: Regular visits to feed, play with, and check on pets.

• Overnight Stays: For those times when you need to be away overnight or longer, I offer in-home pet sitting to provide your pets with companionship and care around the clock.

• Cleaning: With experience in cleaning commercial spaces and accommodations, I maintain a tidy and hygienic environment for your pets. For extended pet-sitting jobs, I can also provide further cleaning services.

• Custom Care Plans: Understanding that each pet has unique needs, I offer personalised care plans. We can discuss your pet's specific routines, dietary requirements, and favourite activities to create a stress-free experience.

• Administering Medications: If your pet requires medication, I am experienced in administering oral and topical medications, ensuring they receive their necessary treatments on time.

Why Choose Me: I understand the significance of entrusting someone with your pets and home. That's why I prioritise clear communication, transparency, and building trust with pet owners. My goal is to provide peace of mind while you're away, knowing your pets are in capable and loving hands.

• Passion for Animals: My love for animals drives my dedication to providing the best care possible.

• Commitment to Excellence: I strive to exceed your expectations and ensure your pets receive top-notch care.

• Reliable and Trustworthy: With a focus on reliability and trust, I aim to build long-term relationships with pet owners.

Let's discuss your pet's specific needs, ensuring a personalised and stress-free experience. With my passion for animals, commitment to excellence, and dedication to providing exceptional service, I'm here to be your trusted pet sitter.

Looking forward to meeting you and your furry family members!

Alice helped visit my two cats when I was away. She knows what she’s doing and would get her help again if needed.
