Alice

Hello! My name is Alice and I love your dog. I am a literary translator who works from home in the beautiful, dog-friendly suburb of Clifton Hill.

**Please note that I am limited to suburbs within 20 minutes of my home by bicycle: Clifton Hill, Northcote, Thornbury, Fairfield, Collingwood, Abbotsford, Fitzroy, Fitzroy North, Brunswick East.**

I grew up with dogs - boxers, kelpies, greyhounds, an adopted labrador cross, jack russels, and a fox terrier, over the space of 18 years - but since moving away from my home town of Warrnambool I haven't been able to commit to the amount of care and dedication a pet dog requires. I absolutely adore dog sitting for my friends and family, and do it quite often, so it seemed logical to open my services up to my neighbours in a more formal way!

When I hang out with your dog, you can be sure that your fur baby will receive the absolute highest calibre of love, care and attention. I will go above and beyond to make your dog feel happy, relaxed and loved, while also being super attentive to your needs as an owner - that means I will respect and enforce the rules you have set for your dog, and follow feeding, walking, grooming, care and medication instructions to a T. I know that every dog and every dog owner is different, and each one has a unique set of needs and expectations. Understanding you and your dog is my number one priority!

I have lots of experience with anxious and traumatised dogs, and one of the most rewarding aspects of my dog sitting work has been making breakthroughs with special, beautiful souls like these. You can rest assured that your dog's paws will be in the best of hands :)

Specifics: I offer dog walking (with off-leash time unless specified otherwise), home visits and overnight stays (at your place). Your dog can expect 24 hour care and attention. I can administer oral medications, and provide basic grooming (washing, brushing).
