Your Pet - My Passion

ABOUT ME

About Me

Hello, I'm Alicia.

I'm passionate about canine companions and experienced with various breeds, personalities and needs. These include older dogs, puppies, rescue dogs, overweight dogs and unspayed females. I have had a number of dogs throughout childhood and I cherish the love they offer. There's nothing more enjoyable than seeing a happily wagging tail.

I have been providing dog care in East London and the City since 2018 and feel lucky to be doing something I truly love.

I'm a bit of a geek too and enjoy boning-up on all matters dog-related. I have a certificate in Puppy and Dog First Aid, carry a dog first aid kit, and have an interest in canine psychology and behaviourism. I'm also interested in the relatively new field of canine massage!

I have a fulfilling part-time career in London as an NHS speech and language therapist within the adult neurology field. however I realised that there's something just as equally important to me now, and that is to also pursue my passion for dogs alongside my love of neuro-rehabilitation.

My approach is highly personalised and tailored to each dog and owner. I treat each pet as an individual, following any instructions you provide me with to ensure the least amount of distress or disruption and the maximum amount of fun.

I believe in quality not quantity, so to ensure maximum enjoyment for my pooch clients, I focus more on small groups of 3-4 dogs at a time and only if I think they are compatible. I don't feel it's not always fair to walk in large packs where not all dogs are matched well - where's the fun in that? I may also be able to walk 1:1, subject to availability.

If your dog is sociable, don't worry, they will be encouraged to seek out other dogs in the park, with the knowledge that they will also have lots of 1:1 attention from me - a perfect balance.

I'm enthusiastic, loving and responsible and I have an enhanced DBS certificate.

Please do contact me if you have questions.

My working (dog) days are Thursdays and Fridays. Occasional weekend walks may be available.

Testimonials

"Personal yet professional dog care in London. Simba always looks forward to seeing Alicia - and it is clear that lots of experience and personal attention goes into their walking & playing sessions. Alicia gives piece of mind that our dog is in very safe hands - highly recommend!" - Alice Purser.

"Philip absolutely loves his walks with Alicia - he is always so happy to see her when she comes to collect him! We are so grateful that Alicia is giving him the exercise he needs, we know that he is in great hands and it's so helpful that she is super reliable and we can really depend on her." - Jenny Attardo

"Alicia provides a really professional and reliable service and she's super-friendly and personalble at the same time. Our Jack Russell loves to see her (and he doesn't love to see everyone) and comes back from his walks tired and happy. It's great to know he's out walking with someone he loves when we can't take him." - Katie White

"My puppy Bryn has benefitted hugely from having the caring and professional puppy sitting provided by Alicia. He gets play and some basic targeted training as well as walks. He is so enthusiastic when she arrives that I feel somewhat jealous. I know I am leaving him in safe and capable hands and I am very happy to recommend Alicia's service." - Ann Eatwell.

"Alicia is incredibly patient and kind. Luigi my puppy loved their walks together. I completely trusted her from our first meeting. I recommend her highly." - Emma Love

"Alicia is very organised and reliable. Our dog clearly loves her as he goes crazy when she comes to pick him up." - Rohini Steve

"Alicia is super reliable and caring, with her I know our dog Frida is safe and happy. Her reliability has taken just one more bit of worry away from our busy daily lives. Thank you Alicia". - Alex Blanco

"Alicia is a great dog walker! She's very flexible with days/times and always lets me know ahead of time when she'll be walking Jasmine.

Very professional and reliable, in that she communicates with us when necessary and sends a reminder email in the middle of each month for date requests for the following month. She also sends me a photo of our pup each time they go for a walk. We have a rescue pup, and she can be a bit particular, but Alicia is so accommodating. I know that Jasmine is always in good hands when she's with Alicia. We will continue to use Alicia as our dog walker for as long as we live in London." - Katrina Villa
