Puppy Visits (Photo shows Miniature Schnauzer Puppy sitting and looking happy)
Alison walks our puppy, George, twice a week - she’s great, very flexible and was a complete superstar when George was ill.. she gave us loads of useful advice and helped us to get him back to his normal bouncy self!! Would highly recommend .

Absolutely spectacular service. We booked Alison at short notice to do home visits for our rabbits, and she happily accommodated us, even after we unexpectedly had to stay away for 3 times longer than expected. I would recommend her to anyone, she was amazing, and our rabbits look very happy!

Great cat sitter. Sent us pics on Whatsapp everyday with updates.
Spotted one cat had cystitis and offered to take him to the vet. We got a family member to do that but she was great at administrating the antibiotics afterwards.
Cats seemed really content when we got home. House well looked after. She even put out more water in the hot weather. Very thoughtful. Thanks Alison.

Dog Walking (Photo shows a sheltie/cocker spaniel cross, sitting on a lead on some grass.)
Poppy's owner has arthritis, and can't walk her anymore. She has been one of my longest term customers, and we always have a nice chat when I pick Poppy up or drop her off. I sometimes run small errands for her, and take Poppy to the groomers.
June says "My Poppy is important. I love her very much. Through difficult times, Poppy loves me and I love her. I am glad that I have Alison, Poppy loves her walks."

Alison has looked after our various pets (Cats, guinea pigs and fish) for years now and I love the feeling of knowing our beloved creatures are being fed, checked and cuddled while we are away. Would always recommend. Thank you Alison

Reactive Dog Walks (Photo shows lurcher wearing a harness labelled "rescue" and behind her a greyhound)
Alison has been walking my greyhound and reactive lurcher for over 3 years. She has been an amazing support with them both and I can trust her to take excellent care of them whilst I am at work. She has always been reliable with good communication and strives to give her best by going on extra training courses. I would find it difficult to find anyone else who understands my dogs better!

Dear Alison. We wanted to express our thanks to you for being the perfect cat sitter to our 3 cats over the last 2 years. You have never let us down, even at short notice & our cats look happier post holiday than before we left! Many thanks.

Dog Training (Photo shows white and golden dog calmly looking at the camera.)
Alison has been helping us with our rescue dog for more than 6 months and she’s been fantastic. Our dog had been quite reactive and unpredictable around other dogs on our walks, but thanks to Alison, she is much better. And importantly we are much more confident that we are able to recognise our dog’s behaviour and manage it! Thanks so much!

I live in Cheltenham and snuck two guinea pigs into the house after I lost my first guide dog. I felt so low and knew that my childhood love of guinea pigs would help me through. It was great to have something to look after, take responsibility for and nurture again. Doing their feeding, grooming and cleaning is really important for me. However I got in touch with PAWS because I’m not able to trim their nails. Alison has even found a socially distanced way of doing this!
Now that I have my second dog, our furry family is complete. Being registered blind means that it’s not always easy to take my dog out for a run out of harness. She needs lots of exercise and Alison’s been so helpful. My dog adores her and with Alison’s way with animals, she is in safe hands. I have also had help from the PAWS Team to get my pets to the vets for checkups and Alison has gone above and beyond when they have been ill. I haven’t been able to go out on my own since the lockdown. I’m so grateful that my dog can still have her freedom with the help of the PAWS Team.
